Fast Facts • The Queen’s Prize

fullbore events date back to Queen Victoria, who offered a prize to encourage better marksmanship by troops in the post-Boer War era.

• Australia tops the all-time Commonwealth Games medal table, with 163 medals in total.

• To achieve optimum steadiness, shooters lower their heartbeat to half its normal rate through relaxation techniques.

Intense concentration. Steady nerves. Absolute precision. Over and over again.

Shooting is a unique sport that requires stillness and the ability to perform under immense pressure.

Nineteen medal events will be contested at GC2018 Shooting, featuring Fullbore, Pistol, Rifle and Shotgun across distances from 10 metres to almost a kilometre.

The Fullbore events, where men and women compete against each other, are known as the Queen’s Prize individual and Queen’s Prize Pairs at the Games.

GC2018 CENTRE TIPS

FIND OUT MORE ABOUT SHOOTING

SAVOUR THE EXPERIENCE The competition schedule provides uniquely long sessions, so make the most of it. As Shooting tickets are general admission, you can walk between each discipline and get amongst the action. Make sure you’re wearing comfortable clothing and footwear.

BE EQUIPPED Shooting is a loud and exciting sport, so bring ear plugs if you have sensitive hearing. Binoculars are also a great idea, especially for the Fullbore events.

THE SEATING SITUATION General admission seating is on a first in, first served basis and some venues, including Fullbore, do not provide seating. You can bring your own folding chair, but you will need to carry it with you as there are no cloakrooms at the venue.
