50 meter rifle three positions (formerly known as one of four free rifle disciplines) is an International Shooting Sport Federation event, a miniature version of 300 meter rifle three positions. It consists of the kneeling, prone, and standing positions, fired in that order, traditionally with 3×40 shots for men and 3×20 shots for women. In January 2018, the number of shots was equalised between genders with the Women's 3x20 being abolished in favour of a 3x40 match identical to the men's event. The caliber is .22 Long Rifle (5.6 mm). In both the men's and women's event, athletes must complete the course of fire within a single time block of 2 hours, 45 minutes. Before January 2018, the Women's 3x20 event had a time limit of 1 hour, 45 minutes. These time limits are applicable to matches conducted using electronic targets; longer times are used if the slower manual scoring system is used. Until 2018, women's rifles were limited to 6.5 kilograms (14 lb), as opposed to 8.0 kilograms (17.6 lb) for men. This was the only remaining difference between men's and women's equipment after the switch from standard rifles to sport rifles. In January 2018 with the women's event extended to a 3x40 match, the 6.5 kilograms (14 lb) limit was abolished, with Women permitted to use rifles up to 8.0 kilograms (17.6 lb). This rendered the men's and women's events identical in both number of shots and equipment permitted. In major competitions, including World Cups and World Championships, the top eight competitors reach a finals match, where the medal positions are decided. Beginning in 2013, a new finals format was instituted, in which the qualification score is discarded, and the standings among the top eight shooters are determined by their finals scores alone. The course of fire was also changed significantly with the new rules, from the previous 10-shot program in only the standing position, into a 45-shot elimination format in all three positions. After 10 of the 15 shots of the final, standing stage, the two lowest-ranked shooters are eliminated. For the remaining five shots, the lowest-ranked shooter is eliminated after each shot, before the final shot decides the gold and silver medalists among the final two survivors. (en)
50米步枪三种姿势比赛（英語：50 metre rifle three positions）是一个國際射擊運動聯盟射击比赛項目，可以看作是300米步枪三姿的缩小版，自1952年（女子1984年）起成为奥运会射击比赛项目之一。比赛选手使用的子弹是小口径的.22 LR（直径5.6mm），使用的步枪重量不超过8千克（女子6.5千克）。 所谓的三种姿势是指、卧姿和。射手须严格按顺序用每种姿势向距离50米的靶各发射40发子弹，要求在总共150分钟的规定时间内完成三种姿势的射击，共120發射擊(3*40)；选手每完成一種姿勢的射擊即换一种姿势(順序為跪姿-臥姿-立姿)。正式记分之前，允许参赛选手进行不限定子弹数量的试射。排名前8名的射手进入决赛；在决赛中，所有资格赛成绩将被重置，每位射手采用三种姿势各射击3组5发共15发子弹，在第八组（立姿射击第二组）结束后淘汰成绩最差的两个参赛者，此后每射击一发淘汰一人至比赛结束为止。 射击用的靶分成10环，选手每次射击可获得最高10.9环。射手射击获得的总环数最多者获胜。 (規則已由ISSF於2022年更改為新規則)如下: 原先3*40射擊改為3*20射擊，正式射擊使用總發數較原先120發減為60發；總限制時間由150分鐘改為90分鐘。 (zh)
