Being recognized as a Distinguished Rifleman is one of the highest achievements that a High Power shooter can achieve.
One of my long term projects is to recognize our Distinguished Riflemen with a plaque to display in the Clubhouse at the range. As part of that project, I have been scouring the list of 8600+ recipients of the Distinguished Badge for FWRR members.
So far, I have identified a number of FWRR recipients, but I am sure I have missed someone. My search has gone back to about 1970 – so there are probably pre-1970 recipients out there that I do not know of.
Here are the Distinguished Rifleman I have identified so far. If you know of anyone else, please let me know and I will update this list.
