Tura, Oct 2: The West Garo Hills Shooting Association (WGHSA) on Tuesday organised a one-day free Sports Shooting Camp at the 10m Shooting Range, Don Bosco Higher Secondary School, Tura, as part of its initiative to promote the sport ahead of the 2027 National Games in Meghalaya.
The camp saw the participation of 30 youths aged between 12 and 30, who received hands-on training in Olympic shooting disciplines. A team of six experienced shooters guided the participants through safety protocols, fundamental rules of shooting, and practical sessions with the 10m Air Rifle, 10m Air Pistol, 25m Standard Pistol, 25m Sports Pistol, and 50m Rifle.

The camp aimed to introduce aspiring shooters to Olympic-style events while identifying and nurturing potential talent for future state and national-level competitions.
Looking ahead, WGHSA announced plans to hold more such camps across the region to expand grassroots participation and build a strong talent pool in shooting sports as Meghalaya prepares to host the 2027 National Games.
