Meet a person with a skill you can use

Abhishek Mistry, 36 Rifle trainer
>>>
AVAILABLE FOR: Rifle training for children aged 11 and above
CHARGES: Rs 999 for a basic one-week rifle shooting course
CALL: 9322233555/ 7304467999

Mistry, a social worker by profession, learnt rifle training under Dhiraj Singh, director of Royal Sports Pan India Foundation and a national level player. “The basic training focuses on everything from stance to aim and safety procedures,” he says. This training allows them to gauge whether they have the skill to go ahead in the sport. “If they are good at it, we recommend them to take up the advanced training,” he says. Most basic rifle training camps are expensive, and run up to above '7,000 per class. We don’t want the cost to demotivate students. The hope is to encourage kids from families that might not otherwise be able to afford the sport”. Misty also funds advanced training for children from economically weaker backgrounds. Each session is an hour long.

RECOMMENDED BY: Shyam Singh Bisht, father of 16-year-old Vaibhavi, “The dedicated attention provided by the coach towards Vaibhavi’s training has made it a very enriching experience for her. She has now enrolled in the advanced course and wishes to pursue the sport professionally”.
