Air Rifle Mixed Team: With the inaugural edition of the Shooting League of India just a few months away, Olympian Arjun Babuta believes the league will add even more momentum to the sport’s upward trajectory and explained the athletes’ enthusiasm for this format.

Indian shooters brought home three medals from the 2024 Paris Olympics, a testament to the country’s growing depth in the sport. This momentum was further bolstered recently when Arjun Babuta and Arya Borse clinched the gold medal in the 10m Air Rifle Mixed Team event at the ISSF World Cup (Rifle/Pistol)—a significant achievement reflecting India’s consistent excellence on the global stage.

“Everyone has a lot of expectations, and all of our imaginations are working. In my opinion, we have not been as excited for any international tournament as we are for this league. I think an event like this will further facilitate the growth of the sport across various levels. The game will get the recognition it deserves. Now we are just waiting for the next steps, and how this moves forward,” the 26-year-old said.
