Target shooting
Traditional shooting at a bullseye.
New to the sport
How to get started
You need neither your own firearm nor any experience to try. All you need to bring the first time is valid photo ID and a little time.
From first shot to full membership
Come to a taster session
Come to a taster session at Hula, on Tuesdays 18:00–19:30. You get a thorough introduction to safety and firearm handling before you shoot, and you hire a club firearm. Bring valid photo ID.
Join the club
After two taster sessions we expect you to join the club. You register through the sports federation's membership portal, and the fee covers the club, the district and the federation.
Take the safety course
Every new member must complete the club's safety course when one is scheduled. It is mandatory and the club runs it.
Start training
Until you have completed the safety course, you can take part in group training on Tuesdays and Thursdays and in club matches.
Consider your own firearm
After six months of membership, once you have trained regularly over time and taken the safety course, you can apply for your own firearm. The club helps you with confirmation of your training activity and with how to apply.

Course
Safety course
Safety is not a formality in this sport — it is what everything else rests on. Every new member goes through the club's safety course.
What the course is
We follow the Norwegian Shooting Association's “Safety course for new shooters”.
Before the course
Before the course, we ask participants to download the course booklet.

What we cover
The safety rules
The basic rules that apply everywhere, always, without exception.
On the line
Commands, conduct, and what to do when something unexpected happens.
Handling firearms
Loading, unloading, transport and storage.
Practical shooting
Grip, stance, sights and trigger — under supervision.
The rules apply from day one
The rules of conduct apply on the firing line, at training and at competitions alike. Do read them before you come — they are short. The Norwegian Shooting Association's rules are under Documents.
Common questions
Do I need my own pistol?
No. The club has several .22 LR pistols and revolvers you can hire at taster sessions and at the start of your membership.
Do I need experience?
No. Nearly everyone who comes to a taster session has never fired a shot before.
What should I bring?
Valid photo ID. Firearm hire and 25 rounds are included in the price of the taster session.
Is there an age limit?
Age limits and firearm rules follow the Norwegian Shooting Association and the police. Get in touch and we will tell you what applies to you.
