Undertakes ammunition testing

Ace Indian shooter Heena Sidhu undertook an ammunition test on Saturday in a bid to fine-tune her preparations for the upcoming ISSF World Cup here.

The most accurate Eley ammunition batch of the 19 tested at the Fellbach facility was identified, said coach Ronak Pandit.

“Heena thanked NRAI and Sports Authority of India for organising the camp for her and some of her teammates.

“This testing will help get even better results from the existing technical skill levels,” she said.

She also urged SAI to ensure that every year the top-5 ranked shooters across rifle and pistol are sent for special ammunition and pellet testing camps.
