De Danske Skytteforeninger

After the merger DDS was split in two with DGI Skydning (DGI Shooting) administering competitions, weapons registration, political and organizational issues, while Skydebaneforeningen Danmark (Shooting Range Association of Denmark) handles advice and financial support to clubs and shooting ranges.

The headquarters are in Vingsted, between Vejle and Billund, and has one of Northern Europe's largest and most comprehensive shooting ranges.

In 1994 a major sports event (Landsstaevne) was held in Svenborg with over 40,000 participants.

The Danish shooting movement began 19 January 1861 with posts by Captain H. P.V.

The article was well received, and already 10 February 1861 the Centralcomitéen til oprettelse af skytteforeninger was founded in a meeting in Copenhagen.
