Mr. Specter. Would you outline briefly your qualifications, if any, in marksmanship?
Major Anderson. I have been working in marksmanship training for approximately 18 years. I am a distinguished rifle shot in the Marine Corps, master rifle shot, National Rifle Association of America.
Mr. Specter. Would you outline briefly the qualifications or tests which must be achieved in order to qualify as a distinguished shot?
Major Anderson. A man must have acquired a minimum of 30 points from winning medals in certain specified high-caliber matches. To win these points he must have placed among the top 10 percent of the nondistinguished shooters participating in the match. By winning a gold medal he can earn 10 points. By winning a silver medal he can earn eight points. By winning a bronze medal he can win six points.
Mr. Specter. And what qualifications must be displayed to obtain the classification as master of the National Rifle Association of America?
Major Anderson. You have to fire in a minimum number of National Rifle Association sponsored matches.
(Discussion off the record.)
Major Anderson. I want to correct the record.
Mr. Specter. Proceed to do so.
Major Anderson. I am a master with the pistol in the National Rifle Association. I am not classified with the rifle.
