Marksman Tests and Badges
In the 'old days', using the Number 8 or the
old Lee Enfield .303 rifles, you had to achieve a 1 inch group or less at 25
yards (metres). So the odd 'fluke' marksman award was possible and did
happen.

These days the tests are more of a test of
marksmanship and the standards have changed recently.
