Sarah Morton Earns Distinguished Rifleman Badge at 2024 Texas State Match

At the 2025 Texas State Match, Sarah Morton reached one of the most prestigious milestones in competitive service rifle shooting when she earned the final points needed to become a Distinguished Rifleman while competing at Bayou Rifles.

For Sarah, the accomplishment represented the culmination of many years in the shooting sports. She began competing through the 4-H shooting sports program at Golden Triangle Gun Club at age nine before transitioning to Junior Highpower at age 13. Over the years, she continued developing her skills in service rifle competition while representing her club and Texas.

Earning her Distinguished Rifleman Badge at the Texas State Match was a fitting milestone in that journey. It marked not only an important individual accomplishment but also reflected the countless hours of practice, matches, travel, and commitment required to reach one of service rifle competition's most recognized goals.

Congratulations to Sarah Morton on becoming a Distinguished Rifleman and adding her name to the proud tradition of Texas service rifle competitors.
