ISSF 50m Pistol target
The card of the ISSF event of the same name, a mandatory World Championship event for men, women and juniors that is not on the Olympic programme. It is shot one-handed with a single-loaded rimfire pistol free of limits on weight, trigger pull and size, and there is no final: the 60-shot match decides the medals.

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.

Schießauszeichnungen des KB
KB shooting awards
The KB’s awards share one design in every weapon type but the English Match, and are told apart by size, colour and inscription. Its Schießsportordnung doubles as the shooter’s record book, in which the club’s shooting officer signs off each award with its score and date. Claims are checked by the district shooting officer and passed on to the state’s; an award won against the rules is withdrawn. The Silbernes Gewehr was first awarded for the 1967 season.
Classes go by the age reached in the calendar year: Schüler up to 14 (Schüler I 10–11, II 12–14); J Sch / Jun, Jungschützen 15–17 and Junioren 18–20, M girls and J boys; Damen and Schützen 21–40; Damen Alt(ers) and Alters 41–50; Damen Sen(ioren) and Senioren 51–60; Sen(ioren) I 61–70 and II 71 and over, with their Damen classes; Behinderte I 18–50, II 51 and over. Klasse I–IV, as the KB defines them for its service arms: I 18–40, II 41–60, III 61–70, IV 71 and over.

NetherlandsKNSA
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.

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.
