Free Rifle, Any Position (300 metres)

Discipline: Rifle

Free Rifle, Any Position (300 metres) is a precision rifle shooting event in which competitors fire a series of shots at fixed targets over a distance of 300 metres. The event allows shooting in any position permitted by the rules of the period, with final standings determined by total score rather than direct head-to-head competition. In the early Olympic era, free rifle events reflected less standardized equipment and match conditions than later international formats, but they already emphasized accuracy, consistency, and control over long range.
