With the Commonwealth Games underway it was good to see the commentators mentioning so many shooters in the opening ceremony. Even a non shooter workmate remarked how many competitors they mentioned and acknowledged as shooters as the various countries filed past. It was at least some sort of positive recognition instead of the usual shootem up news from USA. We got a quick glimpse of Ben Emms and Jim Bailey, but hopefully we will get some decent coverage of shooting from Belmont.
Does anyone know how concrete the decision is to remove shooting from the Commonwealth Games Program in Birmingham in 2022?

Re: Shooting in Commonwealth Games
It was good to see the commentators talking so freely about the shooters, and not just the shotguns for a change. The only down side to it is as it stands at the moment, the Queens event (fullbore) won't be televised on free to air tele. I mentioned it on on of Shooting Australia's facebook shares this morning and they are going to talk to the producers tomorrow to try and get them air time. They were quick to write themselvies a reminder once I mentioned how good of a chance Ben and Jim have of being in the medals.
As far as Birmingham goes, at this stage, there is no shooting at all scheduled. But, there is supposed to be quite a few countries getting together straight after the closing ceremony to put pressure on them to re-include it.

Re: Shooting in Commonwealth Games
yes cheech.
one of the best uses of e.t. is doing that to promote the sport through the media.
especially if it comes down to the last shot as happened in the creedmoor match of 1874, and many shoots since.
of course it requirs knowledgable commentators to capitalize on that.
keep safe,

That would be right, have a problem with one brand of ET in India and lump all brands in the same box.
You might as well be yourself, everyone else is already taken.

Re: Shooting in Commonwealth Games
The Target Rifle pairs, with Benn Emms and Jim Bailey shooting together will be on Tuesday 10th and the individuals will be on Thursday 12th. I'm not working those days so I will be scanning the games channels for footage.
