Man, that looks like fun. And yeah, what a challenge, shooting over terrain like that. Multiple different wind directions between firing line and target. And not just left/right and headwind/tailwind, but up and down as well. What fun.
Now we're talkin'!!!

Blackpowder, I have nothing, Shot em few times, it's well, "different".
Norway was the best shooting I've ever done, it was amazaballs.
first mail to embassy, what do we need to do to bring guns
mail back" here's mail for police in Sokndal ask them"
Mail to police
they reply "don't worry, just come, shoot ,have fun
"
The smiley face was from the police .. You don't get those from Belgian cops when mentioning firearms, forget that !
We get on the Ferry, I declare weapons "we have firearms on board"
girl at the counter what?
We have firearms in the car, and i make a shooting gesture
She goes guns, NO problem we were like
UK ferries are not like that.
Then customs
I tell him, we are bringing firearms for a shooting in Sokndal
The guy sighs.. pfff, paperwork
goes fill in form bring back form
we fill it in as best we can
i have a question bout something (it's all in norwegian)
he yanks the papers out of my hand
doesn't say a work,stamps em all,gives me the duplicate,and says, "bring back form when leave country"
jumps on his bike and f's off.
we like
drive to the lodging place..
meet range officer, he goes, what did you bring?
we go ,m1A, swedish sturmgewehr, AR, m70, sako bit of pistols,
he goes, get em out!!
we throw it all on a picknick table
all the other treckers and visitors look,shrug,keep sipping their coffee from the porch of ther cabanna
note, this was AFTER the Shooting on that island !!
Norwegians are so relaxed bout guns, it was amazing
Do this in belgium as a foreigner or belgian at a camp site and you'de be in trouble
We were having fun and hadn't even shot yet. Beautiful country
But very difficult shooting to get the wind , elevation, angle up or down, it was hard work.
I showed up with a brand new M70 in 308 and 10x40 Leupold, But got there real fast.
the Norwegians brought a 50cal. with a big as muffler.. that was something else..no muzzlebrake
That place was shooters heaven.. the freedom to do and not worry bout the backstop
Even got the 45 out to 300 meters and hit the gong (that was no one shot one hit, no sir, was more like artillery shooting, a 45 howitzer by Dan Wesson)

I only replied to the screenshot of him shooting off a table, now i watched the vid
walking standing like that, Oh yeah, he's weird.
