Indian shooters ended the ISSF Junior World Cup Shotgun Championship on a disappointing note after failing to qualify for the final of the Men's Skeet event, here today.
It was a pathetic show by the Indians, who won only one bronze, courtesy teenager Shapath Bhardwaj's bronze in the Double Trap event.
In the Men's Skeet, Anantjeet Singh Naruka coming closest shooting 114, three short of the top-six qualifying mark.
Apart from Naruka, who was placed 16th, Hamza Sheikh finished 33rd shooting 109, Arjun Singh Mann 37th with 108 while Abinash Pratap Singh and Gurnihal Singh Garcha, both shot 101 to end in 49th and 50th place respectively.
The ISSF bandwagon moves next to Moscow, Russia for the Shotgun World Championships scheduled between 30 August- 11 September.
