Queen's Medal for Champion Shots in the Military Forces In the United Kingdom, the medal is at present awarded annually to the winner of the Regular Army championship, the Army Operational Shooting Competition. From 1935, a second medal could be awarded annually in the United Kingdom, to the champion shot of the Territorial Army. In order to also be eligible for the medal, members of the Supplementary Reserve were included in the competition's definition of the Territorial Army from 1936.
