Det frivillige Skyttervesen (DFS) (literally the Norwegian Voluntary Shooting Association) is the National Rifle Association of Norway[1] and the largest shooting sport organization in Norway. It was created 1. July, 1893 by Norway's Storting to promote practical shooting skills within the Norwegian people, thereby empowering the national defense. DFS collaborates with various departments in the Norwegian Armed Forces, especially with the Home Guard who use shooting ranges owned by DFS clubs.[1]
