What is a DA Form 7801?
DA Form 7801 is the Army's Rifle, Carbine, and Automatic Rifle Marksmanship Scorecard. Range personnel use it to record a soldier's shots during weapons training and qualification. The scores logged on this form decide whether a soldier qualifies as expert, sharpshooter, or marksman. Because these results affect training records, readiness, and sometimes promotions, units rely on the DA 7801 Army standard to keep marksmanship data accurate and consistent across every range session and every soldier tested.

When is a DA Form 7801 not required?
A DA Form 7801 is not required when the range event does not involve rifle, carbine, or automatic rifle qualification.

Informal or practice firing that does not meet official qualification standards also falls outside the form's use.
