Sunday, September 18, 202 will be our Excellence in Competition Rifle Match at the Palo Alto Rifle & Pistol Club located at Donaldsonville, LA. Non-distinguished shooters will be eligible for Excellence in Competition Points towards earning the coveted and envied Distinguished Rifleman’s Badge.
Gold Distinguished Badges are the highest individual awards authorized by the U.S. Government for excellence in marksmanship competitions. Distinguished Badges are awarded by the CMP and the respective military commands in accordance with 36 USC §40722 [3]. The CMP only issues Distinguished Badges to competitors who earn them according to CMP Competition Rules. The name of the recipient, the year the badge was earned, and the badge serial number are engraved on each badge. The first Distinguished Badges were awarded by the U.S. Army in 1884.
This will be a fifty-shot National Match Course fired at 200, 300, and 600 yd. with the US service rifle. No sighting shots will be allowed. All shooting will be on our new Shot Marker electronic scoring system. Come out and shoot with us for pride, prestige, and glory.
