In my humble opinion open also a new class: the old glories where the shooters will use only Krag- Jorgensen and Mauser Mode 59 and 67 :) It would be funny and interesting in IMHO :) best regards
Impressive shooting. It should be called the Soknedal mad minute or something else to differentiate from the original. Because you are bound to get endless comparisons to the original "Mad minute" British military exercise and record holder. And really the shooting skills here stand in there own right as an excellent display of marksmanship that should not be compared or criticized against the original Lee Enfield British military challenge.
Carl Morten Boine is there still full bore/service rifle biathlon shooting/competition in Scandinavia? Or just by the now rather anemic Olympic standards?
In Norway DFS (www.dfs.no) consists of approx. 850 shooting teams spread throughout the country. The DFS has over 137,000 members in the shooting teams. About. 15,000 members under 18 years, so yes we still have a lot of rifle shooting competitions.
Carl Morten Boine Good answer, but that was not the question asked. "Is there still full bore/service rifle biathlon shooting/competition in Scandinavia? Or just by the now rather anemic Olympic standards?" That was the question. REPLY
I was surprised to notice that none of the shooters were wearing eye protection. Neither of my shooting ranges in Northern California would allow this.
Ok its a sport rifle,not a military issue rifle. So they are imitating a general issue military rifle with a sporting rifle. I doubt that is fair comparison but its still good shooting.
