A "3-position match" is a shooting competition format where participants aim at targets from three different positions: standing, kneeling, and prone. Each position tests the shooter's stability, control, and accuracy, making it a comprehensive assessment of their skills. In this match, competitors typically fire a set number of shots from each position, often using a rifle. The scores are calculated based on the accuracy of their shots, with points awarded for hitting specific areas of the target. This format is popular in various shooting sports, including those governed by organizations like USA Shooting and International Shooting Sport Federation.
