Swedish shooting movement

The Swedish shooting movement (Swedish: Skarpskytterörelsen) was a voluntary defense movement which started in Sweden in the 1860s inspired by similar foreign movements like the National Rifle Association of the United Kingdom and the Schweizerischer Schützenverein in Switzerland. The movement lasted until 2009 when the association Frivilliga Skytterörelsen (lit. the Voluntary Shooting Movement) was dissolved and merged into the Swedish Shooting Sport Federation.
