August 8, Indian sports news wrap: New format for National shotgun championship

The Hindu  

New format for National shotgun championship The National Rifle Association of India has thoughtfully introduced a new format for shotgun events for the forthcoming National championship scheduled to be staged by the end of the year. Instead of making everyone shoot over a few days of unwieldy competition, much against accepted international practice and format, the new format will categorise the shooters based on the scores that make them eligible to compete. The elite shooters will have two days of qualification, followed by the semifinals and finals on the third day, as per the international format. This way, even though the championship may be long, to cater to the hundreds of enthusiastic shooters from across the country, the top shooters will have the advantage of shooting as per international format.
