INDIAN shooters will be the centre of attention in the coming days.

- ANMOL GURUNG @Chennai

With the Asian Shooting Championship (ASC) in Kazakhstan knocking on the door, the country's elite shooters will be hoping to maintain their good season so far. More importantly, the event could act as a springboard ahead of the World Championships, which is scheduled to be held in Cairo in November.

Currently fine-tuning their skills at the Dr Karni Shooting range in New Delhi, as many as 182 shooters from the country across rifle/pistol and shotgun categories (both Olympic and Non-Olympic events) are set to feature during the continental event. The Indians, who finished third during their most recent assignment—the Munich World Cup in June—will be testing their skills against the cream of the sport in the continent. World Record holder Wang Zifei from China, who has had a season to remember so far, will be one of the top contenders.

Suruchi Singh, Saurabh Chaudhary, Manu Bhaker, Mehuli Ghosh, Sift Kaur Samra, Chain Singh are some of the top guns from the country who'll be part of the competition which is scheduled to be held from August 16 to 30.
