Hunters Field Shooting in Denmark

Jagtfeltskydning (Hunters Field Shooting)
This looks to be a low level competition with some newbies at the start (Christel care to translate some) Ulfborg shooting centre in Denmark hosts the finals of the Danish Field Shooting championships every September and this could have been one of the qualifying rounds. The DK hunters union (A bit like a more proactive and dynamic version of our BASC) organises a series of regional rounds by area/county and the finalists meet at Ulfborg for the two day finals.
The classes of shooter are:
Ladies
Veterans
Hunters
Masters
The entry up and down the Hunters and Masters is based on points so you can get bumped up or dropped down depending on how you do. CoF is 44 rounds at around 16 different targets over a two mile course and must include prone, kneeling and standing, plus awkward shooting positions, rapid fire such as three shots in 15-25 seconds and targets from 70m to 250/300m. Targets include running Boar and Elk, pop up Deer, plus Fox, Maarhund this year and some smaller birds etc. Scoring zones are not visible unless you get very close to the target so you need to know what you are aiming for. Also distances are not given so you need be able to either range the target or be good at guessing!
The Master classed shooters cannot use aids such as bipods or crossed sticks however they can use what is around them at the firing point.
The video is well worth skimming through to see what they do, the bit I liked was half a dozen shooters at the firing point with a swinging log as a rifle rest so if one shoots the recoil is felt by all of them. Heh!
