Abstract: The light curve characteristics of a homogenous sample of variables in M3 are studied in detail. Accurate light curves and mean magnitudes of about 100 RRab and 50 RRc stars which do not show any type of modulation are analyzed. According to their mean magnitudes and Fourier parameters the variables can be sorted into four groups, representing different stages of the horizontal branch stellar evolution.
