Young Shooting Stars Aishwary-Mehuli Ready To Give It Their Best Shot
Aishwary Pratap Singh Tomar: Shooters have earned for India the joint-second highest number of medals in the history of the Asian Games -- bagging 57 medals, including nine gold.
It's the same as boxing, which too has garnered 57 medals, including nine gold, for India in the continental extravaganza. However, India's profile in shooting has risen in the last couple of decades with success in a variety of disciplines of pistol, air rifle and shotgun, unlike the initial success in trap by Karni Singh and Randhir Singh in the 70s.
Randhir Singh was the first Indian shooter to win Asian Games gold and the legacy was continued by the likes of Jaspal Rana, Gagan Narang, Samresh Jung, Vijay Kumar, Soma Dutta, Anjali Bhagat and Rahi Sarnobat.
