	In Distinguished Company by Dick Culver
		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.

		The visualization technique consists of formulating a mental picture of what you want to accomplish, whether it be one single shot or a 5 shot string, it can be used to train yourself to stand still and hold still, to see your score in Increments of 100 or 300, or to visualize your entire aggregate.
		Prior to shooting a shot or a series of shots I try to hold a vivid picture of the preconceived mental picture of the end result desired, which is, of course, a 10-50- or 100, after each shot or series.

		Red Badge was a "tremendously effective battle painting;" the trial of a soldier in war, he maintained, "seems never to have been painted as well before" (118).

		Second, although much of General McClurg's commentary about Red Badge's lack of patriotism, for example, is overheated and irrelevant, he was not entirely wrong to suggest that Crane's novel raised potentially disquieting questions about the state of turn-of-the-century American society.
