100 m running moose

In the 1950s, many shooting ranges in Norway had already been set up for training on running moose targets, but it was first introduced as a competition in the 1960s by the Norwegian Association of Hunters and Anglers.

[4] Interest increased steadily, and in the 1980s over 130 shooting ranges across Norway were set up for running moose.

In Hordaland and Sogn og Fjordane in Western Norway, it was for long common to change the running moose targets with one of a running deer with the same hit zones and points, since there is little moose and a lot of red deer in those regions.

[5] Both the static and running target have an inner hit zone, denoted with a star (*), used to distinguish the best shooters.

The target moves sideways with a velocity of approximately 5 m/s (18 km/h; 11 mph), appearing from cover and disappearing after each pass.

As with the sporter class, the minimum trigger pull is 1 kg, and the smallest permitted cartridge i .222 Rem.
