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.

Squadron Marksman Badge

Wing Marksman Badge Region Marksman Badge Corps Marksman Badge

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