50 m Rifle (formerly called Free Rifle for men, Standard Rifle and Sport Rifle for women) is a miniature version of 300 m Rifle where competitors shoot over a shorted distance using rifles of smaller caliber (.22), while the program is the same.

[edit] Events
Both events consist of a preliminary or qualifying stage followed by a 10 shot final stage as with other ISSF shooting events. In this final stage the 10 shots are scored accurately to one decimal place, whereas shots in preliminary rounds are only scored to whole integers, for instance a shot that was scored as 9 (from a maximum of 10) could be scored up to 9.9 in the final stage with the maximum being 10.9 for any shot. This could results in a theoretical maximum score in the final stage of 109 (10 shots scored at 10.9).
The final competition result is determined by the total cummulative score from the preliminary/qualifying and final round with world records recognised for the preliminary and total scores.
[edit] Three position (3P)
- See also: Three positions
This event consists of 3 strings – one from each shooting position (standing, kneeling and prone) – of 40 shots each for men and 20 shots each for women. This gives a total of 120 shots for men and 60 shots for women. This event enjoys Olympic status for both men and women.
[edit] Prone
This event is only fired from the prone position and has Olympic status only for male competitors. 60 shots are fired in the preliminary stage.
[edit] Standard Rifle and Sport Rifle
Women used to compete in Standard Rifle with more restrictions on the rifle, as opposed to men's Free Rifle. Then the women's rules were changed to Sport Rifle, which is essentially the same as Free Rifle but with a slightly lower maximum weight (6.5 kg instead of 8 kg). Both versions are now officially named 50 m Rifle.
Because 300 m Standard Rifle is a men-only event, women also compete in 50 m Rifle (Three positions and Prone) at the CISM Shooting World Championships.
