Day two of the ISSF World Cup in Munich saw both the British Senior and Junior Men's 50m Prone records equalled. 
 
Shooting in the MQS match, Ken Parr shot a new personal best of 596, three points above his previous best, to equal the British Junior record currently held by Jonathan Hammond and Neil Stirton.  In the first of the two elimination relays, Neil Stirton also shot a new Personal Best, this one of 598 points, to equal the Senior record.

Elsewhere in the Elmination relays, Matt Thomson on 592 and Jon Hammond on 593 safely made their way through, joining Neil in the Qualification Round to be shot at 8:30am tomorrow.

On Day one, Jon Hammond shot a new Personal Best of 587 in the Air Rifle despite missing the scheduled training day after British Airways failed to place a number of the team's rifles and equipment on a number of consecutuve flights between Heathrow and Munich - they finally arrived at 2am on the morning of the match.  Heloise Manasco, who was left stranded at Heathrow on en route from Gibraltar after her flight was cancelled, continued to show improving form, with 395 for 24th place.
