Another emerging star in the pistol category is Shivam Shukla, who was also a part of the squad that won the silver in the 25m Standard Pistol category at the World Cup in Suhl last week.

The 19-year-old has had a good last 12 months, wherein he has won a double gold in both the individual as well as team events in the Junior World Cup last year, beating fellow countrymen Rituraj Singh by a solitary point in the former.

This may be early days for the Indian as far as his junior shooting career is concerned, but there is no doubting if he does continue to put in good performances, consistently then his stakes will only rise further in the shooting circle.
