    From the ISSF website (via twitter):
    Olympic tests: Shooting 18-29 April 2012

    The testing programme of the 2012 Olympic Games: Shooting pre-Olympic World Cup in all events scheduled between 18 and 29 April 2012 at the Royal Artillery Barracks, Woolwich, London

    The London 2012 Organising Committee (LOCOG) announced a comprehensive testing programme which will form a key part of its preparations for the Games next year.

    The testing programme will focus primarily on testing the field of play, results, scoring and timing systems, as well as key operational procedures and functions.

    The Shooting Sport Test event, a pre-Olympic ISSF World Cup in all events, will take place at the Royal Artillery Barracks, Woolwich, London, between the 18th and the 29th of April 2012.

    Seb Coe, Chair of the London Organizing Committee, said: ‘Our approach to operational delivery is similar to that of an athlete. You do not want to face any conditions at competition time that you have not prepared for. When the world’s greatest Olympic and Paralympic athletes come to London in the summer of 2012, every aspect of our delivery needs to be the best it can be. The invaluable experience we gain through our testing programme means we can “road-test” all our operational plans and make sure we have all the knowledge we need to deliver a truly memorable Games in 2012.’

    People who are interested in attending events should sign up to www.tickets.london2012.com and they will be sent further information as soon as it is available.

    Word on the grapevine has it that the demand for tickets for the shooting events are very high, much higher than the organisers expected. If you are planning on going over my advice would be to reserve your tickets asap.
