This is the KNSA's card for national indoor smallbore rifle (Klein Kaliber Geweer): 60 shots prone or kneeling, or 20 in each of three positions, with .22 LR rimfire. Its 10 is a tiny white dot that counts only when the hole covers it completely, and at Dutch and district championships the card is changed after every shot.

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.
