Which statement about insignia on targets is true?

• A. In matches, targets must bear the words Official National Rifle Association and the eagle insignia.
• B. The eagle insignia is optional on targets.
• C. Targets bearing no insignia are allowed.
• D. In registered matches, targets must bear both the words and insignia as specified.

Answer: (D)

Targets in official, registered competitions must clearly show both the exact words “Official National Rifle Association” and the eagle insignia. This combination is required to prove the target meets NRA standards and to keep scoring fair and consistent across events. If a target is missing either element, it doesn’t meet the official requirements for a registered match. The other statements get it wrong by suggesting insignia isn’t required, or that insignia rules apply to general matches rather than registered ones, or that insignia is optional. So, the rule that applies is that registered matches require both the specified words and the insignia.
