About Our Champions & Achievements
When 13-year-old Tilottama Sen hits a 10.9 score during selection trials, it is not luck. It is the result of thousands of hours on the range, guided by granular technical feedback on electronic systems. If you are aiming for podium finishes, this is the environment where that precision is built.
Becoming a national-level shooter is about more than just owning a rifle. It requires a repeatable, disciplined process—what we call the 'Breathe, Focus, Aim, Shoot' mantra. At our Elite Shooting Club facility within the Padukone Dravid Centre for Sports Excellence, we move beyond basic instruction. We utilize SIUS electronic target systems to provide immediate, objective data on every shot fired. This technology allows us to break down individual performance, whether you are a beginner picking up a German .177 air rifle for the first time or a competitive athlete refining your stance for state-level championships.
Our athletes, including international medalists like Sriharsha Devaraddi, train alongside hobbyists, creating a culture where excellence is the standard. We also host high-stakes tournaments here, managing everything from score compilation to podium ceremonies, giving our students and local shooters regular, high-pressure exposure. Whether your goal is a sub-youth category medal or a spot on the Indian team, the training you receive is built on the same principles that have produced our recent medal haul at Karnataka State and National Shooting Championships.
