New Delhi, Sep 4 (PTI) The Asian Games-bound Indian shooters will undergo preparatory camps at facilities in Delhi and Bhopal this month as they look to fine-tune their skills for peak performance at the quadrennial showpiece beginning September 19 in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan.
The camps have been divided between the MP State Shooting Academy in Bhopal and the Karni Singh Range in the national capital.
As per the schedule, the selected Asian Games pistol and rifle shooters will train in Bhopal from September 5 to 14.
The skeet camp commenced at the Karni Singh Range on Friday, while the camp for trap shooters will be held from September 10 to 18 at the same venue.
National Rifle Association of India (NRAI) High Performance Director Pierre Beauchamp said the focus of the camps would be on mental conditioning and technical refinement.
“At this stage, our focus shifts from volume to precision, mental conditioning, and technical refinement.
“The structure of these final camps allows our sports science and coaching teams to closely monitor each athlete’s performance metrics and ensure they peak exactly when they step onto the range at the Asian Games,” said Beauchamp.
The shooting events at the Asian Games are scheduled to take place from September 17 to October 3 at the Aichi Prefectural General Shooting Range.
