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.

SHOOTING PROGRAMME
The programme includes -

10m Air Rifle Men
10m Air Rifle Women
10m Air Pistol Men
10m Air Pistol Women

Separate Pairs matches will be held in each of the above.  The feedback from last year's championship suggested shooters would prefer separate matches to ensure at least two shoots over the weekend, and this we are providing.  The downside, however, because of the sports hall booking arrangement, means forgoing pre-event training.  This is based on the schedule below.  Should it be possible to arrange affairs differently when final entries are known, and include training time, this will be done.

The provisional programme is as follows, though this may be re-jigged when final entries are known (the late start Friday is to allow for range set-up time) -
