NEW DELHI: The Shooting League of India (SLI) is gearing up for its much-awaited debut, and NRAI President Kalikesh Singh Deo sees it as a defining moment for the sport.
SLi is scheduled to take place in a window from November 20 to December 2. It will feature mixed team events across Pistol (10M, 25M), Rifle (10M, 50M 3P), and Shotgun (Trap & Skeet).
“I was very clear from the start, given the consistent success of Indian shooting, not just at the Olympics or the Asian Games, but also through strong performances at World Cups and World Championships over the past five years - a league was the natural next step. Especially since no franchise-based model like this exists globally, we knew we had to make it happen, ” he said.
