ISSF 300m Rifle target

The card for all three ISSF rifle events at this distance: 3 Positions and Standard Rifle, each shot kneeling, prone and standing, and Prone. On paper, a marker in the pit signals the value of every shot with a disc: placed on the frame for a 1 to 8, moved up and down over the black for a 9, circled for a 10. The same card is also used as the DSB Nr.5 300m Rifle (DSB, Germany) and the SvSF 300m Rifle (SvSF, Sweden).

Leistungsabzeichen des BDMP

BDMP proficiency badges

The BDMP awards its badge only to shooters who have met their sporting and financial obligations to the federation. Its rules also set levels for PPC 1500, the Bianchi Cup and long-range rifle from 300 to 800 m. Every claim is checked against the match’s result list before it reaches the federal office, and each pin comes with a certificate signed by the BDMP’s president.

Shot at BDMP competitions only — the German and Landes championships, and supra-regional matches with at least 8 shooters from 3 clubs (SLGs) — by members of the BDMP and of friendly federations; one badge per weapon type per competition.

Leistungs- und Meisterschützenabzeichen des DSB

DSB proficiency and master marksman badges

The DSB gives its performance badges each year to reward results and to encourage shooting for performance. A badge result can also count as the coordination test of the German Sports Badge (Deutsches Sportabzeichen) the same year. Clubs order the badges on a form at the end of each quarter, through their district, from their state association; in 2026 a small badge cost €4.00, a large one €4.50 and the master marksman badge €6.50.

Age classes go by the age reached in the calendar year, the DSB’s sport year.

KNSA-vaardigheidskruis

KNSA proficiency cross

The KNSA set up its proficiency tests for master marksmen, with the cross as their award; its general board changes the requirements, yearly where needed, on the national technical committees’ proposal. The vaardigheidskruis is an enamelled gilt cross on a 27 mm red, white and blue ribbon, and each clasp costs a fee the board sets. The KNSA keeps a numbered register of every test taken, open to any shooter, and sends out the awards itself.

Shot at a KNSA classification match, a district, regional or national championship or an international match, before an authorised KNSA official, and announced before the series with an entry fee; a proef is awarded once a year. The first pass brings the cross, each later one a numbered clasp; 25 passes in all bring a silvered pin, 50 a gilt one. Categories by the age reached in the season, 1 October to 30 September: senioren 21–54, junioren-A 18–20, -B 15–17, -C 13–14, veteranen 55 and over.

SvSF shooting badges

SvSF’s rulebook dates its submachine-gun badge to 1946, its smallbore badge to 1971 and its first air-rifle badge to 1973. An SvSF club may back a member’s application for a handgun licence only once the member has met the silver requirements in sport, centre-fire or free pistol within the last 2 years, or SPSF’s gold. For a submachine-gun licence, SvSF asks for 3 years as an active shooter at gold level.

SSV-Auszeichnungen

SSV awards

The SSV’s Volksschiessen is meant to bring people to sport shooting, and most who shoot it hold no licence: in 2025, 7,868 of the 10,835 shooters in its 50 m edition. Most awards in the 300 m Einzelwettschiessen are Kranzkarten rather than badges, 92 percent of them in 2025. The Sportschützenauszeichnung is there to draw more shooters to club and popular shoots.

Classes go by birth year, as the age reached in the year the season ends. A Kranzkarte (wreath card) is a card worth the francs shown, given as, or instead of, a wreath badge.
