ISSF approval for Dr. Karni Singh Shooting Range

The International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) has given its stamp of approval to Dr. Karni Singh Shooting Range and lauded the National Rifle Association of India for successfully hosting the Asia Olympic Qualifying Tournament recently at a short notice.
The tournament, which was the last qualifying event for Asian shooters, was held on the outskirts of the capital from January 25 to February 4.
"I hereby cerify that the 10m, 25m, 50m and final ranges as well as the technical equipment installed in the ranges are as per ISSF rules and regulations. Certain minor rectifications were carried out on my instructions. All matches including PET were conducted as per ISSF rules and regulations to my satisfaction," Yair Davidovich, ISSF Technical Delegate for rifle-pistol range, said in a statement.

The apex body was also pleased with the standard of the shortgun range.
"The skeet and trap combined shotgun ranges with 6 layouts were inspected and approved that they were properly constructed and installed with all necessary equipments according to the ISSF rules and regulation," said Bhattakraka Bunnang, ISSF Shotgun Technical Delegate.
NRAI president Raninder Singh spoke of the fact that the national federation had to organise the tournament at a very short notice.
"It is a matter of great pride for the country as well as the federation that we were able to stage a multi-nation sporting event of such scale and importance so successfully. To get the range to meet the stringent international standards as prescribed by the ISSF at such short notice was no mean feat.

"I would on behalf of the federation, like to thank the ISSF, SAI as well as the Government of India for supporting us throughout this challenging endeavor," Raninder said.
