The President's Medal for Shooting was instituted by the President of the Republic of Ciskei in 1988, for award to champion shots.
The Ciskei Defence Force (CDF) was established upon that country's independence on 4 December 1981. The Republic of Ciskei ceased to exist on 27 April 1994 and the Ciskei Defence Force was amalgamated with six other military forces into the South African National Defence Force (SANDF).
The President's Medal for Shooting was instituted by the President of Ciskei in 1988.
The medal was awarded to champion shots.
Since the President's Medal for Shooting was authorised for wear by one of the statutory forces which came to be part of the South African National Defence Force on 27 April 1994, it was accorded a position in the official South African order of precedence on that date.
