Indian shooters compete at ISSF World Championship in Doha
Indian shooters are competing at the ISSF World Championship in Doha, Qatar, on November 10.
The championship features rifle, pistol and shotgun events at the Lusail Shooting Complex.
Neeru Dhanda, Manu Bhaker and Esha Singh are among the Indian athletes in action, alongside several other teammates.
Dhanda missed five of her first 25 trap targets, while Manisha Keer hit 23 of her first 25.
Trap shooters aim at clay targets launched at varying angles, and the qualification round sends the eight highest scorers to the final.
In the women’s 25m pistol event, the rapid stage helps decide who reaches the final: scores from it are combined with those from the precision stage, and the top eight advance.
TS Divya scored 584 overall and moved to eighth on the live leaderboard, while the day’s schedule also includes the women’s 25m pistol final and men’s 50m rifle elimination rounds.
