Gurgaon, Oct 9 (PTI) The Commonwealth Games participants and foreign officials were all praise for the state-of-the-art Kadarpur Range, which is hosting the full bore shooting events of the multi-discipline sporting extravaganza. "The facilities here are wonderful and a range like this doesn''t exist (anywhere else). It has left most ranges in the world behind, it is really fantastic," Tony Waymouth, manager of the New Zealand full bore shooting team, said. Forty two shooters from 21 countries are taking part in the full bore shooting competitions. "This range is fantastic and a world leader to other countries," New Zealander Graeme Hudson, President of Commonwealth Shooting Federation, said. David Daniel of England went a step further and said the facility is the best full bore range in the world while Wales Manager Martin Watkins termed it as "excellent." India is participating for the first time in full bore shooting competitions in the Commonwealth Games. The Sports Manager of Kadarpur Shooting Range, T S Dhillon IG (retd) said, "It (Kadarpur) is the first range of its kind in the world where electronic targets are being used and the shooter is not required to move -- instead, the targets move." Dhillon also said it has computerised auto-scoring facility which "brings complete transparency to the game." PTI CORR ARP
