NSF Coltskive Pistol target

The Coltskive is the card of NSF's Fripistol B, which shoots the match under ISSF's 50 m pistol rules on the shorter pistol range: 60 shots with a .22 loaded one cartridge at a time. Youth in U14 and U16 shoot it standing one-handed without support, and class D is kept for beginners who have not shot the event at approved meets in earlier seasons. The same card is also used as the UFOLEP 25m Pistol (UFOLEP, France).

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.

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.
