what are the rifle events

Post by guest »

Can someone explain to me what the courses of fire are for all the smallbore rifle events? What is the difference between standard and free rifle. The High Noon has a Free Rifle 60 (I assume standing) but I do not see that course of fire in the ISSF rules. Are all the smallbore events 3P?

I'm not sure what all the postals do, but in the olympics:

Men's Free Rifle Prone, 60 shots, 50m

Men's 3 position, 40 shots each prone, standing, kneeling, 50m

Men's air rifle, 60 shots standing 10m

Womens 3 position 20 shots each prone standing kneeling, 50m

Women's air rifle, 40 shots 10m

in the US nationals and world championships, there are women's prone 50m and 300m events also.

I'm not sure what standard rifle is used for, I think women's rifle (event's have a different weight limit than mens and that might be the sport vs free difference.


good shooting.....

The standard rifle is similar to most air rifles and used to be what the women were limited to in ISSF events. Standard rifle now is mainly in the 300m rifle events and some other specialized events.
