The National Rifle Association of India (NRAI) has officially announced the schedule for the final preparatory camps ahead of the highly anticipated Asian Games. This intensive training programme is designed to fine-tune the skills of the selected athletes and ensure peak performance across all shooting disciplines before they depart for the Games. The preparatory camps will be divided across two premier training centres: the MP State Shooting Academy in Bhopal and the Dr Karni Singh Shooting Range in New Delhi. The camps will ensure that athletes have access to the best facilities in the country, tailored to their specific events.

Camp schedule and locations

Rifle and Pistol: September 5-14 in Bhopal

Shotgun (Skeet): September 4-14 in New Delhi

Shotgun (Trap): September 10-18 in New Delhi

Speaking about the upcoming camps, NRAI President Kalikesh Narayan Singh Deo said, as per a press release, "The 2026 Asian Games represent a monumental opportunity for our shooters to showcase their exceptional talent on the continental stage. These preparatory camps are a critical step in our journey to the podium. We have complete faith in our athletes and remain steadfast in our commitment to providing them with the world-class resources they need to bring glory to the nation."

Pawan Kumar Singh, NRAI Secretary General, said, "Organising these camps concurrently across Bhopal and New Delhi ensures that our athletes can train in optimal environments specifically suited to their respective disciplines. The administrative team has worked tirelessly to seamlessly coordinate logistics, infrastructure, and support staff, allowing the squad to focus entirely on their final preparations."

Dr Pierre Beauchamp, NRAI High Performance Director (HPD), added, "At this crucial stage, our focus shifts from volume to precision, mental conditioning, and technical refinement. The structure of these final camps allows our sports science and coaching teams to closely monitor each athlete's performance metrics and ensure they peak exactly when they step onto the range at the Asian Games."

The shooting events at the 2026 Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya are scheduled to take place from September 17 to October 3 at the Aichi Prefectural General Shooting Range in Japan.
