We periodically offer special programs like our Monsoon Dhamaka, providing an excellent opportunity to try our introductory courses in 10m and 25m Olympic pistol shooting at a special price. Advance booking is always recommended for these popular sessions.
Our introductory courses are available in two formats. The one-day course covers the 10-meter air pistol event, while the two-day course adds the 25-meter pistol event for a more in-depth experience.
About Start Your Journey: Introductory Courses
You do not need to own a firearm or have prior experience to begin. In our introductory sessions, we handle the technical logistics—providing imported Olympic-grade Steyr or Morini air pistols and professional safety gear—so you can focus entirely on learning the correct grip, stance, and sight alignment. We prioritize 1-on-1 instruction, meaning your first session on the range is built around your individual learning pace rather than a generic group lesson.
How Our Introductory Courses Work
We structure our introductory courses to mirror real training environments. You are not just 'having fun'; you are learning the discipline required for Olympic shooting.
- The 1-Day Intro: This 2-hour intensive session covers the absolute essentials: safety protocols, shooting physics, and basic grip and trigger control. You will fire 50 match-grade pellets using our imported Olympic pistols, giving you a clear sense of your natural aptitude.
- The 2-Day Intensive: We take you further by splitting your training. Day 1 is dedicated to the 10m air pistol (the foundation of all precision shooting). Day 2 moves you to the 25m range to experience the power and recoil management of .22 caliber live-fire pistols. This is the best choice if you want to understand the different disciplines within the sport.
Where You Will Train
We operate out of two major facilities, both built to international standards:
- Mumbai: Located at the Maharashtra Rifle Association (MRA) ranges in Worli.
- Pune: Located at the Shri Shiv Chhatrapati Sports Complex in Balewadi (Mahalunge).
Both centres are Khelo India accredited, featuring climate-controlled 10m and 25m ranges. We maintain strict safety protocols because, in this sport, safety is the first measure of a professional.
