DFS 300m Rifle target

DFS range shooting counts this distance and 200 m as equal at every shoot; both use the same championship programme of 25 shots plus a 10-shot final fired prone in 75 seconds. No telescope is allowed outside the scope and hunter classes, and the NAIS skill badge is shot on this card too.

DFS badges

DFS clubs record their badge shoots in DFS’s online system, and Dugleiksmerket badges are ordered through the regional associations (samlag). Seniors and veterans pay for their own badges, stars, statuette and dish; the diploma is free. Meeting the Dugleiksmerket’s gold requirements 25 times earns a dish and 50 times DFS’s shield, and Skytterboka’s table of gold years runs to 75.

NAIS-medaljen (NSF)

NAIS medal (NSF)

The NAIS medal was instituted in 1939 as the army-rifle medal of NAIS, the Norwegian branch of the International Shooting Union. Its rules were much simplified in 1990, with slightly higher scores for the better precision rifles, and pistol, clay and running target joined the programme in 1994. NAIS results are not reported to NSF: the organiser records and keeps them on trust.

Shot as a NAIS shoot of its own, run by a Forsvaret unit or a DFS or NSF club; the organiser’s signed result counts. The badges may be won in any order; the medals from the year after the gilt-badge score, the gilt medal after the silver, with one counting result per medal level a year. The recruit badge, for shooters who turn 16 or younger in the year, is won once. Bronze, silver and gilt enamel stars follow the gilt medal, each for its score in three different years, then a statuette.

NSF ferdighetsmerke og Kvartmatch

How it is shot

Distance · Course · Positions · Spotting · NAIS badge · Marking · Gauging · Ties
Distance
In range shooting, 200 m and 300 m ranges count as equal at every DFS shoot.DFS rule 11.211
Course
The championship programme of national, regional and samlag meetings is 25 shots of main match plus a 10-shot final, 35 competition shots and sighters. The first three 5-shot series are called 'klassen', the 10 shots that follow 'grunnlaget'.DFS rule 11.110
Positions
Classes 3 to 5 shoot 5 prone in 2 minutes, 5 standing in 3 and 5 kneeling in 2, then 10 shots — 3 standing, 3 kneeling, 4 prone — in 3 minutes; the final is 10 shots prone in 75 seconds. Class 1 shoots everything prone.DFS table 11.110.a
Spotting
No kikkert (telescope or binoculars) may be used at any DFS shoot except in the scope and hunter classes, nor a camera to tell the shooter where hits are: paper targets may not be filmed or photographed from the fire command until they are pasted.DFS rule 11.213
NAIS badge
The NAIS badge, a skill badge of NSF, DFS and the Armed Forces, is shot on the DFS target at 200 or 300 m: 10 shots prone in 3 minutes and 10 kneeling in 4 minutes, with 3 sighting shots allowed before each series.DFS rules 12.251 and 12.252
Marking
In manual marking a miss is shown by swinging the disc back and forth twice before the target, a 9 by moving it up and down over the black, a 10 by circling it clockwise over the centre, an inner ten by blinking it there.DFS rule 9.230.2
Gauging
Gauges for .22, 6.5 and 7.62 mm are used to judge values; outdoors at 100 and 200/300 m every gauge, the .22 one too, has an 8 mm flange, and a shot counts inside a dividing line its flange touches.DFS rules 9.230.11 and 9.230.12
Ties
Ties go to the most inner tens, then tens, nines and so on over the 25-shot main match; then to the higher score in the last series, then its inner tens, tens and so on; then the series before, and so on.DFS rules 10.401 and 10.402 a

The Shooter app's scan screen, shown with an ISSF 10m Air Pistol card: each shot marked, the score, and the size and centre of the group

Training on paper? Photograph a card and the Shooter app finds the holes and scores them by these rings: every shot, your inner tens, the series total, your group’s size and centre. Holes merged? Add, move or remove a shot. Every card joins your training log, so drift shows up over time.

Scored with AI for now, which needs internet and your permission to upload the photo to an AI service in the US. Some AI scans may be free while we collect photos of this target; then each uses an AI credit (sold in packs in the app). Scoring by hand is free.
