Shotgun national selection

Anantjeet Singh Naruka: Asian Games silver medallist and national champion Anantjeet Singh Naruka brooked no opposition in the men’s skeet national selection trials 1, even as Raiza Dhillon trumped national champion Ganemat Sekhon in the women’s skeet trials, here at the Dr. Karni Singh Shooting range on Friday.

Rajasthan’s Naruka and Haryana’s Raiza, both shot down 58 targets in the 60-shot final to register victories.

Naruka, who is running high on confidence after the Asian Games feat in Hangzhou, where he gave Skeet shooting legend Abdullah Alrashidi of Kuwait a run for his money, shot 24 early in the morning in the final qualification round, to finish on top of the 40-strong field with a score of 121 out of a possible 125.
