ISSF Junior Shooting World Cup: Newly-appointed National Rifle Association of India (NRAI) president Kalikesh Singh Narayan Deo said that after a tremendous performance at the Paris Olympics, it is time to utilise the bench strength and core group of shooters to make sure that athletes receive the best assistance possible as they advance from juniors to seniors category.

Indian shooters earned 22 quotas for the 2024 Olympics, and a 21-member strong contingent participated in the multi-sporting event with 7 shooters making it to the final, and three winning a medal with Manu Bhaker winning a historic double.

Speaking on the 'House of Glory' podcast, Deo said, "It has been the culmination of a fantastic four years of performance for Indian shooting. So that just goes to show that on a good day, our athletes are capable of delivering in any and every discipline of shooting."
