Wednesday evening.

This will be very brief tonight, since there is little of interest to report. Practice continued, the weather remains warm and hazy, and some targets are still a worry. We have plans for the latter, which involve a new series of verifications and calibrations. Unfortunately, even with India's vast labour resources, it is not possible to rebuild the range into a conventional gallery range in two days!

Cliff Mallet and I have finished weighing nearly 8,000 rounds of ammo for the medals events. Whatever else may happen, shooters will not be able to blame over- or under-charged rounds for miscreant shots.

The equipment inspection is under way. Our rules are relatively relaxed, but several of the Indian scrutineers are ISSF-based, where the rules are anything but relaxed. I think it's now under control, but there were one or two tense "moments'.

Our driver from yesterday has been "reassigned to other duties". The drive back was better this evening, although one car (again not mine) was hit by a motorcycle. One of our ROs has now been involved in all four incidents, more, he says, than in the whole of his previous life!

Same again tomorrow and Friday. The medal events start on Saturday.

I had another good curry tonight - the restaurant here has a good buffet, with selections varying each day. But no beef of any sort!
