Yes. Distinguished Expert. For those of you not in the sport/competitive shooting world, that is the top of the pile and not many attain it. You need the skill (of course), but that can be learned. The other, more critical, two components are mental/physical discipline coupled with being able to establish and work towards a long term goal. Quite an accomplishment for a "not quite" 10 year old girl.
Oh - that looks like a little Winchester, but it is a Marlin 15YN "Little Buckaroo" that I worked over into a target rifle. Finding good target rifles for children isn't as easy as it used to be, so I made one up.
