Madhya Pradesh State Shooting Academy: The 68th National Shooting Championship Competitions (NSCC) got underway here at the Dr. Karni Singh Shooting range, with a record 16,000 plus shooters qualifying to participate across categories in rifle, pistol, and shotgun events. The NSCC traditionally heralds the beginning of a new season for Indian shooting, and Group 5 Trap qualifiers in the Shotgun discipline were the first to fire.

The previous 67th NSCC saw 13,522 shooters qualify. All top Indian shooters have entered the fray and the schedule, spread over one month, has been finalised, keeping in mind the ISSF World Cup Finals, which will take place in Doha between December 4 and 9, and where 15 Indians have qualified to compete.

Along with Shotgun, the Pistol events will also be conducted at the Karni Singh Ranges, while the Rifle events will be held at Madhya Pradesh State Shooting Academy in Bhopal.
