DJ shooting badge: Introduced in 1939, the DJ shot air rifles as opposed to the 5.56mm used by the HJ. The air rifles used by the DJ were the
Mars,
Haenel, and
Diana Junior.
The DJ shot at a distance of 8m. The target was a 12cm diameter circle with 12 rings spaced 0.5cm apart. The target was attached to a receptacle which caught the rounds as they passed through the target. Using air-rifles, the DJ was not restricted to shooting on club ranges and were able to take their 'range' with them to any open space.
