Free Rifle, Three Positions, 300 metres, Men

Date	31 July 1920
Status	Olympic
Location	Kamp Beverlo, Beverlo
Participants	70 from 14 countries
Format	300 metres. 40 shots standing, 40 shots kneeling or sitting, 40 shots prone. Individual possible 1,200.

The rules called for shooting from the prone and standing positions, but the third position could be either kneeling or sitting. American shooters did not often shoot while kneeling, so most of them chose to sit. Bud Fisher, who shot with his service rifle, shot a tremendous sitting score, higher than any done prone, and this led him to victory. Fisher was an experienced shooter who played his violin for relaxation.

This event was held concurrently with the team event, so theoretically, all the competitors in that event competed in the individual free rifle event as well. However, for many of them we have no known scores, so we can only list them as competitors.
