Shotgun shooting

International Shooting Sport Federation: The Indian skeet shooting squad has reached Cyprus for the year’s third International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) World Cup Shotgun stage, set to begin in the capital city of Nicosia from Saturday (May 3). The National Rifle Association of India (NRAI) had named a 12-member squad for the Nicosia World Cup back in February itself, including for both disciplines of Skeet and Trap.

Skeet competitions, which will continue for three days, begin first on Monday (May 05, 2025), where two Olympians, Mairaj Ahmad Khan in men’s skeet and Maheshwari Chauhan in women’s skeet, will lead an otherwise young and inexperienced side at this top international level.

A total of 350-plus athletes from as many as 54 National Olympic Committees (NOCs) have entered the competition, including some of the top names in Shotgun Shooting.
