Scotland were denied two medals in the Men's and Women's Individual Prone events by the narrowest of margins.  Firstly Neil Stirton produced the final of the championship with ten tens for 104.2, climbing from 6th to 4th, just 0.2 behind New Zealand's Olympic shooter Ryan Taylor.  Sheena Sharp was then counted out of the medals in the Women's prone, with the fourth and fifth strings coming into play to separate the three British shooters tied on 582.

Day 5 at the CSF Championships was relatively quiet for the Scottish contingent, with Shona Marshall unlucky to miss out on the final of the Women's Trap.  With only two points separating the top seven competitors, she lost out on a place in the last six on a shoot-off with Suzanne Balogh of Australia.
