Manavjit set to be disqualified from Olympic Qualifiers after his gun stock fails test
NRAI is considering the requests of several pistol and rifle shooters to compete in season-opening ISSF World Cup in Cairo in January a day after deciding not to send the contingent.
NRAI has contested the disqualification of trap marksman Manavjit Singh Sandhu, who was barred from competition at the Asia Olympic Qualifiers because of "faulty" gun stock.
In a bizarre incident, a national-level shooter recently lost his left thumb when the 10m air pistol cylinder he was filling exploded, at the Karni Singh Range.
NRAI termed the disqualification of trap shooter Manavjit Singh by organisers of the Asia Olympic Qualifiers in Kuwait as 'unjust and unfair'.
