A 3-position match is a type of shooting competition where participants aim at targets from three different positions: standing, kneeling, and prone. Each position tests the shooter's stability and accuracy, requiring different techniques and body postures. In this format, competitors typically fire a set number of shots from each position, with scores calculated based on accuracy. The total score from all three positions determines the winner. 3-position matches are popular in various shooting sports, including rifle shooting and biathlon, and are often featured in events like the Olympics.
