The Short Range 3P Championship started life as the qualifying stage of the 50m 3P Championships, with the top twelve shooters in the postal stage qualifying for the final held initially at Linwood, and then more latterly at Denwood. The Championships ran like this from 1985 to 1999. In 1999 the 50m 3P Championship morphed into the 50m ISSF Championships, open to all, and the short-range competition became a championship in it's own right.
