The inaugural edition of the Shooting League of India has been allocated a window by ISSF between November 20 and December 2. The tournament will take place at Karni Singh Shooting Range in New Delhi.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"Finally, we are going to get what we deserve. So many sports have started their leagues, I felt it was time for shooting to enter this space,\u201d Heena said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Talking about the technical side of the sport, Heena explained, \u201cThe biggest challenge in shooting is that it\u2019s all about micro-movements, which spectators can\u2019t always see. From the outside, it may look like shooters are just standing still, but in reality, there\u2019s constant movement - especially under pressure.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"With tools like SCATT, body sensors or cameras, we can showcase these details and help fans understand how a 9 or 10 is the result of preparation and movement. That kind of education will make the sport far more engaging.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
She added, \u201cSCATT uses laser technology to track the pistol\u2019s path - from the 8th ring to the 9th and finally into the 10th. Under stress, the increased movement becomes visible and can even be linked to heart rate or brain activity. It\u2019s a great way to show fans what\u2019s really happening inside the shooter.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The league will include mixed team events across pistol (10m, 25m), rifle (10m, 50m 3p), and shotgun (Trap & Skeet) categories. Shooters will be grouped into four tiers - Elite Champions, World Elite, National Champions and Junior & Youth Champions - ensuring a dynamic blend of experience and emerging talent.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The Arjuna awardee also highlighted how shooting builds mental strength, saying, \u201cShooting is unlike any other sport. It may look still, but every shot is different because the variable is always the athlete. It tests human psychology - how you handle stress, respond to your last shot, balance aggression with calmness. There\u2019s something in it for everyone.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u201cFor the first time, Indian audiences will get to watch us regularly at home. Earlier, they only saw us at World Cups or the Olympics. Now, I\u2019m eager to see how fans respond - not just to the stars, but to the sport of shooting itself,\u201d she concluded.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
