February 25th, 2010 - 9:34 pm ICT by IANSNew Delhi, Feb 25 (IANS) The renovated Karni Singh Shooting Range has got the thumbs up from all the shooters taking part in the ongoing Commonwealth Shooting Championship.
All national and international shooters taking part in the event rated the range as “world class”.
“The Championship was a very good preparation for the forthcoming Commonwealth Games. These ranges are at par with any other international range. International shooters who are participating in the championship are equally impressed with the world class facilities here,” said pistol shooter Samresh Jung, who was adjudged the best shooter in the 2006 Commonwealth Games.
