Commonwealth countdown

Construction work has begun at the Barry Buddon for Glasgow Commonwealth Games 2014.

The Carnoustie-based venue will host all shooting events at the Games, including clay target, full bore and small bore events. Barry Buddon covers 2,600 acres and is primarily an infantry training area, but it was also used for the full bore rifle contents during the Edinburgh games in 1986.

Glasgow 2014 chief executive, David Grevemberg said: “Barry Buddon will be a world-class venue for the shooting competition at the games, and represents an opportunity for those outside of Glasgow to be part of the celebrations.”
