Schietprijsster van het Koninklijk Nederlandsch-Indisch Leger

The Shooting Prize Star of the Royal Netherlands East Indies Army (Schietprijsster van het Koninklijk Nederlandsch-Indisch Leger), instituted in an army order in 1936 by the commander of the KNIL, replaced the old-fashioned and expensive Shooting Prize of the Royal Netherlands East Indies Army, which was awarded in six variants and rewarded proficiency with handguns, carbines, and two types of machine gun between 1897 and 1936.

At the annual KNIL shooting competitions, all participants who achieved a sufficient score were henceforth to receive a Shooting Prize Star with a clasp.

The five-pointed bronze star is 36 millimeters wide and bears in its center a shooting target surrounded by a gold-colored laurel wreath. The target has a diameter of 19 millimeters, including the laurel wreath. The reverse of the star, manufactured in the Netherlands, is plain.

The ribbon is 41 millimeters wide and orange, with a green stripe 1 centimeter wide.

Clasps are worn on the ribbon to indicate the weapons with which the Shooting Prize Star was earned. These clasps were made of bronze and measured 40 by 5 millimeters. There have been military personnel who earned all four clasps.
