A better day for Janis, keeping all her shots on the right target this time, but missing the final by one point!

Training Time

The NSRA have indicated that, unlike previous Commonwealth Championships, the ranges will not be available outside formal pre-match training and matches. This contradicts the information provided to the competing nations, who were already in the unprecedented of position of having to hire lanes for additional training, and is believed to be due to insufficient stocks of consumables to drive the Sius Ascor target systems.

Day 2 - Men's Prone / Women's Air Rifle Pairs/Badge

There was no progress in the hunt for Scottish medals after todays events.

Day 1 - Men's Air Rifle Pairs/Badge

There was disappointment for the Scots in the Men's Air Rifle, with no medals in the pairs or the badge match. David Rattray was provisionally placed 3rd in the badge match, but received a two point penalty for unsuccessfully challenging one shot, dropping him to 8th.

Badge Matches

The championships organisers have announced that all participants in the pairs events will also be entered in the concurrent badge matches.

Windbreaks Removed

The appeal by the Scottish team on the removal of the windbreaks from the 50m range has been declined, although no formal response has been received to date.

Training Starts

Training has commenced on the 10m and 50m ranges at Bisley, prior to the start of the Commonwealth Championships on Friday 24th.

Members of the team have been alarmed by the insistence of the ISSF delegate that the windbreaks be removed from the 50m range, despite not apparently being in contravention of any rules, and their presence on many international ranges worldwide. An appeal will be made at the technical meeting on Thursday morning, and it is hoped that the nets will be re-instated in time for the start of the competitions.
