In Distinguished Company by Dick Culver (3598 words) |
 | Since the first Distinguished Badges weren’t issued until 1887, it was only natural that the Army would use the elliptical target shape for the enameled target gracing the badge. |
| Shortly after the re-adoption of the round bullseye in 1903, the Distinguished Badges followed suit and also went to the round bullseye once the supply of elliptical badges was exhausted. |
| Pistols were not neglected, and although the initial guidelines for establishing a Distinguished Badge for Pistol Shooters were a bit hazy, the pistol competition began to take hold after the turn of the last century with the first badges being issued in 1903. |
