The 50 metre rifle events will be held at the Sinclair Range, St John's.  This is in the centre of the Island and approximately a 20 minute drive from Douglas.

The Range has 32 shooting lanes all equipped with Gehmann target systems.  There is a roomy covered firing point and Clubhouse serving refreshments throughout the day.  The Clubhouse and its facilities are wheelchair friendly.

SHOOTING PROGRAMME
The competition programme will run over the three days, Friday to Sunday, with Thursday 16th down as the arrivals day.  Thursday will also be available for training, as will Friday morning.  Equipment control will be available during Thursday afternoon and Friday morning.  A three day spread is the minimum period within which a full 50 metre programme can be run that offers separate pairs matches and a real opportunity to compete for development shooters.  It does, however, put strain on those doubling (or trebling?) up both as respects fitting everything in if air rifle is involved and just the sheer volume of shooting.  Be warned!

The programme, revised after receipt of indicative entries, is as follows (it is of course subject to further revision dependent on final entries) -
