IS there a patch, recognition, or list for those that are Distinguished in all 4

MODS   If this is not the right place for this, please feel free to move it, but I couldn't find a better place.



I am relatively new to the Appleseed brotherhood, but I have not seen much mentioned about "Distinguished" shooters.   Maybe it is not that common at most Appleseeds but as a 40+ year competitive smallbore shooter, I have made it my person goal to shoot a Distinguished score at each shoot.

So far I shot a 247 in my first 25m Appleseed (rimfire rifle with optic) in April 2023,
      a 49 in the Rimfire Known Distance in Nov 2023,
      a (low) unrecalled Distinguished score (22 pistol with an optic) in the Pistol clinic in Aug of this year,
      and next year the full distance Known Distance is on my bucket list.

My question--is there a special patch, recognition, or even a list (Like the Roster of Morgan's Riflemen) for those that have shot a distinguished score in all 4 of the Appleseed disciplines?

First, what's a "low" distinguished score for pistol?  That's like a cold fire and doesn't exist.  Awesome shooting at all of those!  You're so close to scoring perfect on all of them, don't stop until you do.  There are 250 patches.  I'm not aware of any patches or roster for someone getting distinguished in all 4.  Since we keep the roster of Morgan's Riflemen here, the question makes sense to be asked here.  People that know a lot more than I are sure to see it and answer definitively.

Good luck at the KD.

I guess I see what you mean!   As a "rifle shooter", I was just glad to make the distinguished cut-off and I think I only did that by 2 points.  I don't know what the Distinguished cut-off is and my targets are in my sisters car about 100yards away.   Its like 8 degrees outside here in NWPA with the windchill so I am not going outside again today to go look...LOL!

There's no restriction on distinguished and 250s in terms of a qualification for each discipline and wearing them all on your shoot jacket, if you want to do so, but, like said above, the most important qualification is worn about a foot above your jacket, and it's not only that, but sometimes a job, sometimes a joy, and always a mission.
