National Games Goa Shooting: The tiny coastal village of Mandrem in North Goa, is set to witness world-class Shooting action, as the first gold medal in the sport is decided a little after noon on Friday, with the conclusion of the men’s 10m air pistol final.

That will be the only final at the Yash Shooting Academy ranges, on day one of the National Games Goa 2023 Shooting competitions, which will see close to 325 shooters from over 30 States and Union Territories (UTs) compete till November 09, across the 15 Olympic Shooting disciplines.

Haryana’s Sarabjot Singh, just recently back from his bronze medal and Paris Olympics quota-winning exploits at the 15th Asian Shooting Championship in Changwon, Korea, will lead a field of 37 air pistol shooters vying for the first National Games Goa Shooting title.
