Air Rifle and Pistol events are to be held at the National Sports Centre (NSC) in Douglas.  This is a £22m facility with indoor and outdoor areas completed in 2001 for the Island Games.  The airgun events will take place in Hall 2.  The Centre has a cafe serving meals and refreshments throughout the day and a range of leisure facilities.

Taking place at the NSC, in the very heart of the Island's sports community, the organising committee is hoping that countries will support strongly the airgun events so that the Championships can act as a showcase for shooting.
