I agree, but even back in the 1970's, some RCMP members had to be ordered to go to qualification for the ability to carry. If they did not pass, it was desk duty only. Crossed Revolvers was 235 out of 300. A perfect 300 was a crown over the crossed revolvers.
I could never understand the reluctance to shoot, it was an opportunity to shoot free ammo.
In 94 I think it was, the corporal, now passed on, who was running those matches, Len Grennell (friend ever since) allowed me to use my model 29 for a 'go' on the course of fire, after I had passed with the service revolver. I shot a crown with it, just as I had with my service revolver. I was not given the crown as there were 2 keyholes on my target - plain clothes member beside me shooting his snub nose model 60 - double action only. Out of 50 rounds, he only had about 30 hits scattered all over his target. My own target was a blowout in the central 9/10 rings which scored 5 pts., but those 2 misses were scored against me. Len thought it was funny I had "help". I wasn't amused. I'd gotten over it by 1989 for the WPFGames where I shot on the RCMP team as a retired member. We got the gold in the 200 yard prone rifle, metallic sight match, 30 rounds. Set a new record not beaten yet. Some cops could shoot.
