When champions like Amanpreet Singh visit, our students do not just watch; they participate in live analysis and discussions about the specific mental triggers required during high-pressure finals. This direct exposure to international-level competition preparation is central to how we bridge the gap between being a serious shooter and a consistent winner. At Elite Shooting Academy, we understand that technical skill is only one part of the equation. Success on the range is built on mental fortitude and the ability to replicate performance under pressure. By situating our base at the Padukone-Dravid Centre for Sports Excellence (CSE) in Bangalore, we ensure our athletes are in an environment that demands excellence every day. ### The Value of Direct Mentorship We do not believe in ivory-tower coaching. We facilitate interactions where you can observe how top-tier athletes prepare their gear, manage their breathing, and handle the silence before a shot. Learning how a World Cup medalist approaches a warm-up or adjusts a sight during a simulator session provides insights that textbooks cannot offer. These visits are not staged; they are functional sessions where knowledge transfer is the priority. ### Integrating Global Standards Our mentors bring methodologies that have been tested at the ISSF World Cup and Olympic levels. Whether you are using the SCATT electronic simulator or preparing for a national qualification match, you are applying the same techniques discussed during our guest interactions. We keep our groups small to ensure that when a mentor is present, every athlete gets the opportunity to ask questions, verify their stance, and understand the nuance of their technique. This environment is built for those who treat shooting as a discipline, not just a hobby. ## About Elite Shooting Club I am Rakesh Manpat. My journey as a national and international medalist taught me that talent needs a specific environment to flourish. I built this academy to provide the exact coaching, technical insights, and high-level exposure I wished I had when I was starting out.
