Background
Skeet shooting in India is administered by the NRAI, which is the national governing body affiliated to the International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF). Indian skeet shooters typically progress through state associations and national championships before representing the country at international ISSF World Cups, the Asian Championships, the Commonwealth Games, and the Asian Games.
Discipline
In ISSF skeet, competitors fire at clay targets launched from two trap houses — a high house and a low house — placed at opposite ends of a semicircular range. A standard qualification round consists of 125 targets, with the leading shooters advancing to a final. The event demands rapid target acquisition, consistent gun mount, and precise timing.
