Running target shooting refers to a number of target shooting sports and events involving a shooting target—sometimes called a boar, moose, or deer—that is made to move as if it is a running animal.
Events of this type include:
- ISSF 50 meter running target (also known as 50 meter running boar) and ISSF 50 meter running target mixed
- ISSF 10 meter running target and ISSF 10 meter running target mixed
- 100 meter running deer, which previously was an ISSF event. Running deer competitions are currently only held in the Nordic Shooting Region.
- 100 meter running moose, a popular competition in Scandinavia oriented towards hunters. Usually fired at 100 meters, but sometimes at 80 meters instead.
