Day 9 was an all female affair and had the pressure of keeping up the trend set by the last 3 days of winning at least one medal but with the Women's Rifle athletes competing for the second day in a row and Women's Trap also taking place, there's nothing to suggest it's a trend that cant continue. There is also a look ahead to the Day 10, the final day of shooting at the 2018 Commonwealth Games, where there are yet more medal hopes for Scotland, this time with the men, in the Men's 50m 3P Rifle and the conclusion of the Queens Prize Individual Final.

Day 8 sees shotgun take a break and the Women's Rifle athletes return as they look to repeat their success from the Commonwealth Championships in November last year. We also enter Day 2 of 3 for the Queens Prize Individual Final. There is also a look ahead to the Day 9 schedule which sees the full-bore athletes take a days rest after four straight days of competing but Scotland female rifle athletes are back for a second consecutive day, this time in the 3P, and the Women's Skeet competition finally gets underway.

Day 7 saw the entry of STS's shotgun athletes into the medal charge. Can they follow on from the medal success enjoyed on Day 7 when the Scots compete in the Men's and Women's Double Trap competitions? Also, the 3 day long Queens Prize Individual Final kicked off, less than 24 hours after the completion of the Pairs competition so see how they got on. We also take a look ahead to the Day 8 schedule which is slightly less packed and more of a lie-in for athletes and spectators alike as the Queens Prize Individual Final goes into its second day and Scotland's female rifle athletes return for the Women's 50m Prone Rifle Finals. Will there be more medals in store for STS and Team Scotland?

Day 6 saw STS shooters secure not only Team Scotland's first but also second medals at the Belmont Shooting Ground. Read all about not just the medals but some great performance from other members of the team competing at their first Commonwealth Games doing themselves and Scotland proud. We also take a look ahead to the Day 7 schedule where the Queens Prize Individual Final kicks off and Scotland shotgun athletes take centre stage in the Men's and Women's Double Trap events..

Report on some great performance by STS shooters on Day 5 in the Men's 10m Air Pistol competition, Women's 10m Air Rifle competition and Day 1 of the Queens Prize Pairs Final. We also take a look ahead to the Day 6 schedule where the Queens Prize Pairs Final reaches its climax and STS athletes also are competing in the Men's 50m Prone Rifle and Women's 25m Precision Pistol competitions.

Report on the success of STS shooters on Day 4 in the Women's 10m Air Pistol competition and a look ahead to the Day 5 schedule featuring STS athletes competing in the Men's 10m Air Pistol, 10m Air Rifle competition and Queens Prize Pairs Final.

On the 21st December 2017 Birmingham was officially announced as the host city for the 2022 Commonwealth Games following the decision in March by the Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) that Durban failed to meet the criteria it had set. While this means the Commonwealth Games will once again be held on British shores, shooting was not listed in the sports submitted by the Birmingham bid which raised obvious concerns for STS and its members.

St Andrew’s Day (30 November) was a fitting occasion to announce the 11 Scots, proud to be flying the flag for Team Scotland at the 2018 Commonwealth Games in Gold Coast. The shooting team contains a wealth of experience with Ian Shaw becoming the second Team Scotland athlete (along with Alex Marshall) to make his sixth Commonwealth Games appearance.
