Peden climbs to eighth in Fullbore Rifle

23rd March 2006
Lindsay Peden produced one of the best performances on the range on the final day of the fullbore rifle competition in Bendigo.  Scores of 75 (with 10 V-bulls) at 900 yards and 74 (with 9 Vs) pulled the Scottish shooter up to eighth place in the individual championship.  At the MISC range in Port Melbourne, Susan Jackson missed the cut for the final of the Women's 3P match by one point.

Second Gold for Sheena Sharp!

22nd March 2006
Sheena Sharp won her second Gold Medal of these Commonwealth Games, with victory in the Women's Prone.  Sheena shot quickly in difficult conditions and had to wait for over half an hour while the competition fell slowly by the wayside.  This is Scotland's first Individual Gold since Shirley McIntosh won the same event in Victoria 12 years ago, and this is the first Games for 24 years that Scotland have won two shooting gold medals.  Susan Jackson was fourth in the Women's Prone, for the second Games running, and was one of a number of close calls today.  Martin Sinclair secured fourth place in the Men's Prone after a shoot off with Warren Potent of Australia, a frustratingly close 0.6 points off the bronze.  Earlier in the day Neil Stirton had narrowly missed qualifying for the final, being counted out into ninth place.  At Lilydale, Ossie McLean qualified for the final of the Men's Trap, finishing in equal fourth place.

Lewis qualifies for 50m Pistol final

21st March 2006
David Lewis was the highest placed Scot today - the first full day of individual matches.  A new personal best score of 541 secured eighth place for the Shetland shooter, and he remained in that place following the final ten shots.  Alan Ritchie also recorded a new personal best, of 539, for ninth place.  In the Men's Air Rifle Graham Rudd and Robin Law were very close to making the final, steady performances of 585 and 584 earning them 9th and 10th place respectively.

Martin Sinclair and Neil Stirton successfully negotiated the elimination round in the Men's Prone, and will compete in the main event at 9am tomorrow morning.  After the first two stages of the fullbore, Lindsay Peden is in 16th place on 250.31, with Ian Shaw on 248.32 in 22nd place.  The fullbore completes with the longer ranges on the 23rd.  After the first two rounds in the Men's Trap, Ossie McLean is in equal 7th place with 46 while Jonathon Reid is in 26th place with 42.  The Trap completes tomorrow.

Fourth Place for Men's 3P Team

The first of the individual matches was also held today, Heather Rudd and Emma Cole-Hamilton unable to qualify for the final despite both coming close to their personal bests.

Gold and Silver in the Prone Pairs

18th March 2006
Scotland won two medals in shooting today in Melbourne.  The first medal, a silver, came in the Men's 50m Prone Pairs, where Martin Sinclair and Neil Stirton set a new Scottish record of 1179.  This medal, Scotland's first in open/men's prone since 1986, also contributed to an a British clean sweep of the medals.

Two hours later, Sheena Sharp and Susan Jackson won Scotland's first shooting Gold since 1994, with a substantial five point victory over England and New Zealand.  Susan and Sheena had previously won Silver in the same event in 2002, and Susan (then Susan Bell) had won a Bronze with Shirley McIntosh in 1998.

Bronze "Badges" for Sharp & Stirton

updated 13th March 2006
Scotland picked up two medals in the pre-Games badge matches in the Men's and Women's Prone events.  In Men's Prone the forty firing point range cannot accommodate the entire field, so two details were run.  Conditions deteriorated considerably during the day, with only two shooters from the second relay in the top eight.  It should be noted that in all of the badge matches a number of shooters from other countries either did not start the match or did not complete the full course of fire.
