During the past three months the Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) has been carrying out feasibility work on the National Shooting Centre in Bisley and at Barking Reach -the former site of Barking Reach Power Station in east London - to consider them as possible alternatives.
The Board agreed that feasibility work would continue into Barking Reach but only as a reserve option.
Chairman of the London 2012 Organising Committee Sebastian Coe said: "The ODA has conducted a thorough review process of all three locations. However, the Board still feels that Woolwich is the best choice of venue. It is an iconic venue close to the Olympic Village, with a strong shooting heritage, and is one of the Greenwich cluster of Olympic and Paralympic venues. We will now work closely with the Ministry of Defence (MoD) and all interested parties to ensure all arrangements are in place for a first class venue for shooting."
