Nordic field biathlon (Norwegian: skifeltskyting) is a combined cross-country skiing and shooting sport discipline within Det frivillige Skyttervesen. The sport is considered a close predecessor to olympic biathlon, with the main difference being the use of fullbore biathlon rifles and paper targets placed in the terrain with time penalties added for misses.
