300 m rifle three positions


300 m rifle three positions is an ISSF shooting event, involving shooting 40 shots each from the prone, the standing and the kneeling positions. Lately a similar event has been designed for women, where only half the course is shot.
Originally there had been champions declared in each position based on the results of the 40 shots in the three position match. A special 300 metre rifle prone match was added in 1982 however, after a pattern from the so-called English Match. After 1990, no World Championship medals have been awarded in the standing or kneeling position.

History

300 m rifle has been a declining event for many decades because of the considerable cost for competing in the event and the difficulty of creating ranges for it. The Olympic status was dropped in the 1970s, making 50 metre rifle the only rifle event on the program, it was in the Olympic program from 1896 to 1964.
300 m Rifle is still on the World and regional championships program, though.
The rifle used by women in this program is actually the same as the men, except having a lower weight limit. This rifle is not the same as the one used in the standard rifle 300m event.
In 2019 in Tolmezzo, Italy after 20 years the 300m Rifle European Championships were back in a stand alone championship and does not cover part of the European Shooting Championships.
