Villingsberg's shooting range, Military training field in Kilsbergen region, Sweden
Villingsberg's shooting range is a military shooting facility in the Kilsbergen region, between Örebro and Karlskoga in Sweden. It covers several zones designed for different shooting disciplines at varying distances.
The site was set up in the late 19th century as a training ground for the Swedish military. It has remained in continuous use since then, serving successive generations of soldiers and specialists.
The range regularly brings together military personnel, sports enthusiasts, and international competitors, forming a dedicated community focused on shooting disciplines.
Access to the grounds requires advance registration and compliance with safety rules set by the Swedish Armed Forces. It is worth checking the access conditions before the visit, as they are consistently enforced.
The grounds sit on the slopes of Generalshöjden, a hill that creates natural conditions for long-distance shooting without any artificial setup. This makes it one of the few places in Sweden where that kind of training is possible using the land itself.
