Women’s 3 Position (3×20) Event
The shooter fires 20 shots each in the prone (lying down), standing and kneeling positions at a target set 50m away, giving a maximum score of 600. The best eight shooters from this opening program qualify for the final, which consists of ten further shots, each fired on command. Each shot is evaluated in decimal tenths (10.9 being the maximum). The decimal score gives a maximum “Final” score of 109. The “Final” Score is added to the score from the opening program, giving a Overall maximum score of 709.
The total time-limit allowed is 2 hours and 15 minutes. Unlike the men’s event, the time for each position is not designated, and shooters progress to the next position as and when they are ready. The beginning of the shoot is preceded by a 10-minute preparation period, during which the shooter may shoulder the rifle and dry fire. They MAY NOT fire any rounds, blank or live.
