Yes, Mr Rathore, I was there, shooting championship, and with the officials also.(VIII COMMONWEALTH SHOOTING
FEDERATION CHAMPIONSHIP, 17-28 FEB 2010)
we saw all the ranges 10m, 25m, 50m, trap & skeet. Ranges were very nicely designed, well equiped, but outside range was a mess.
No food counter, no water cooler, security woun't let u get ur own.
All cars were parked 3 km before the KSSR range gate, and checking starts 2 km before the parking area.
when u enter tuglakabad shooting cut, a policemen will ask u for ur pass or invitation if u dont have u are back routed 2 km before parking area.
After parking ur car, security check, and then a bus ride to KSSR gate, again all id's, spl passes, spl invitations are varified outside the gate, and after all clearances, u allowed to enter the gate with security check again.
And then u enter range finally, now u free to go anywhere.
From KSSR gate to cleridges hotel only comandos & spl forces, as this is the way to foreign participents, and when bus starts from hotel to range abt 3 km, 1 police gypsy in front - 1 at the back of the bus, eash bus having 4 commandos.
Inside 10m,25m & 50m, no issues, but lot's of issues with trap - double trap - & skeet.
Now they have rectified, but at double trap & trap range 1 major fault which they can't rectify. The fault is where shooter's stand they are exposed to comple sunlight, where as it should not be the case, a big dome/shade is created but it doesn't solve the perpose.
That's my true experience.

1 incident, i forgot to mention,
It was my 4th day, and morning approx 8am, after all security is thru, when we were going in bus to KSSR gate, by security mistake a constable who was very much new to this security arangement, in our bus reached the gate of KSSR shooting range, without security check. As he was entring, all metal dectors beeped, this contable was immediately surrounded by spl forces, and on gun point thrown to the ground, with his hands on back and cuffed.
I was abt to enter the gate, and was thrown back, immediately. after frisking him, it was detected he was carrying a glock 9mm with full mag (concealed in his Ankle holster). He was immediately taken by commandos, and was suspended till further enquiry.
God Bless Us All (Amen)
