 During an examination of Army records at some point after the establishment of the Distinguished Pistol Program in 1903, Army personnel determined that then Corporal Horace Waymon Bivins then assigned to Troop B, 10th U.S. Cavalry Regiment had won at least three pistol marksmanship championship awards, accomplishing this in 1894.This qualified him for the newly established Distinguished Pistol badge.He was retroactively awarded the first Army Distinguished Pistol Shot badge for his distinction in marksmanship competition.
