The National Rifle Association of India (NRAI) had announced its intention to host the Shooting League of India in November last year and with it now getting ISSF recognition, the league promises to be a world-class Shooting competition, featuring top Indian marksmen take on the best in the sport.
Thrilled at the development, Kalikesh Narayan Singh Deo, President, NRAI, commented, “We are all very excited. With the ISSF now recognising the SLI and allotting a window for it in its official calendar, it is now officially an international competition.
With India’s already strong profile in the sport globally, this would help attract most top Shooters to the league, besides the unique nature of the league itself. A lot of work is going on behind the scenes, and this motivates us further to deliver one of the best-ever shooting sport spectacles ever witnessed.”
Last month, the NRAI had also announced Elena Norman as the Consultant for the SLI and New Horizons Alliance Pvt. Ltd. as its Commercial and Marketing Agency.
