    How does the course of fire work for the full bore?

    For the pairs it was 10 shot strings @ 300, 500 & 600, then 15 shot strings @ 900 & 1000.

    For the individual, looks like they did 7 shot strings for the shorts yesterday. Another round of 3,5 & 6 and then single round of 900 and 1000 on the 3rd day of individuals.

    Not sure if there is a set format for a "queens" competition, @zimmer might know.

    There are time limits for 7, 10 and 15 shot strings. TR gets a bit more time than F/TR and F-open. With open the guys are using calibers and velocity to try to beat the wind, so they tend to shoot much faster.

    15 shot string is significantly more difficult than 10. Barrel heats up and you get velocity issues, mirage off the barrel, and the main issue is just eyes getting tired and having to concentrate for longer. Obviously you also have to contend with a larger weather window, so that makes it harder as well.

    It's a medal count, there's nothing personal about it.

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Much the same here, Commonwealth Games isn't something that I find particularly exciting, generally speaking.
