Excitement grips Indian shooting fans as the country lands hosting rights for the 2027 Asian Rifle and Pistol Championship. The Asian Shooting Confederation’s decision means December 1-10 action at Dr. Karni Singh Shooting Range, complete with eight LA 2028 Olympic quotas on offer.
This isn’t just any meet—it’s a high-pressure qualifier where Asia’s best collide. India’s National Rifle Association gears up for a blockbuster, promising world-class execution.
Fresh from Paris 2024 glory, where 16 quotas (eight rifle, eight pistol) led to 21 athletes and three bronzes—beating Tokyo’s tally—India rides a wave of success.
Right now, Delhi’s range pulses with the Asian Shooting Championship (Feb 2-14). India’s record 118 shooters headline 311 from 20 countries, outpacing Kazakhstan’s 35 and Iran’s 28. Korea, Japan, Chinese Taipei, Vietnam, Hong Kong—all bring firepower to 564 events.
Expect fireworks: India’s home edge could yield medals galore, honing skills for 2027 and beyond. Back-to-back majors spotlight India’s infrastructure and talent pipeline, setting the stage for Olympic dominance.
