For Junior I, in 20-Meter Air Pistol what is the minimum score required to be recognized as Marksman?

• A. 50
• B. 60
• C. 70
• D. 80

Answer: (B)

In this level of 4-H competition, earning the Marksman recognition is based on a minimum total score in the 20-Meter Air Pistol event. Each shot can score up to 10 points, so the total possible is typically 100. Reaching 60 points means averaging about 6 points per shot, which shows a solid, dependable level of accuracy across the targets. That baseline ensures a shooter has demonstrated basic competence with the pistol before moving to higher classifications.

If you aim for more than 60, you’d be showing stronger consistency (70 or 80 would reflect higher accuracy and reliability), but 60 is the established minimum to be recognized as Marksman.
