Hi Bill, these might be Canadian versions of Empire 1st Class Shot for cadets prior to or just after the Second World War.
The British version was a single horizontal rifle with star but other nations might have done it differently. Keith

Royal Navy First Class Marksman badge was crossed rifles with six pointed star above . (photo 1)
Most sites say that this was used up to approx 1932. http://www.godfreydykes.info/ROYAL_N..._CENTURIES.htm But ..... a 2013 thread appears to show the badge being worn in th 1950's .  https://www.britishbadgeforum.com/fo...ad.php?t=30582 Today a 'similar' badge is worn by Sea Cadets : Quote:
EDIT : One thing that is confusing is that the British/Commonwealth badges I've see have had a "full length" sling but the ones in post #1 have "half length" slings. .

Hmm. Not so sure they represent Ross rifles any more than the Long Lee. I am rather sure they are Lees as they appear to have a butt stock and wrist socket design not that of the Ross.
