Dynamic Sports Shooting originated in the United States in the 1950s. World Championships in IPSC are held every three years and this year Sweden was the host country.

The match was located at Villingsbergs Military Shooting Range, a huge area in the middle of Sweden.

To travel by car from the military checkpoint to stage 1, which was the furthest, took almost 45 minutes. Walking was out of the question in this match. This gives you an idea of the size of the area.

There were 30 stages, and the competitors shot 6 stages per day over 5 days (sometimes with a free day in between)

Below: Lena Miculek at stage 5, which was pretty difficult with mini targets in the forest out to 80 yards.

38 countries were represented at World Shoot Rifle with over 600 participants. The USA had about 35 of their top shooters in the competition.
