Tughlakabad witnessed a stunning performance from Army's Himanshu Talan. The 22-year-old sealed a victory over current World Champion Rudrankksh Patil in the 10-meter air rifle final of the sixth National Shooting Selection Trials at Dr. Karni Singh Range on Monday, June 26.
Himanshu Talan had a day to remember as he led the reigning champion by 0.6 points right from the start. Himanshu was almost perfect in every shot.
