context_page_description: Field-Shooting or Terrain-Shooting refer to a set of pistol and rifle shooting sport disciplines that usually are shot from temporary shooting ranges in the terrain at varying distances, rather than at permanent shooting ranges at fixed distances.
  Some examples of Field-Shooting disciplines are:
  Nordic Handgun Field-Shooting competitions are shot with pistol and revolver in different classes depending on equipment, with classes up from small-bore .22 LR to large-bore .500 S&W Magnum. Mathces are held outdoor throughout the year with varied shooting targets and distances, and are arranged by the Norwegian Shooting Association, the Danish Gymnastics and Sports Associations and the Swedish Pistol Shooting Association.
  Nordic Rifle Field-Shooting are shot with either small-bore .22 LR cartridge at 100 meters, or intermediate or battle rifle cartridges at distances from 100 to 650 meters. With 200 and 300 meters being ordinary shooting distance in Nordic Bullseye Rifle-Shooting, those targets placed well beyond 300 meters in Rifle Field-Shooting means that the competition format also can be classified as a long range shooting discipline.

  Some examples of Field-Shooting disciplines are:
  Nordic Handgun Field-Shooting competitions are shot with pistol and revolver in different classes depending on equipment, with classes up from small-bore .22 LR to large-bore .500 S&W Magnum. Mathces are held outdoor throughout the year with varied shooting targets and distances, and are arranged by the Norwegian Shooting Association (NSF), the Danish Gymnastics and Sports Associations (DGI Shooting) and the Swedish Pistol Shooting Association (SPSF).
