The Nagaland Shooting Sports Association (NSSA), in collaboration with the Department of Youth Resources & Sports (DYRS), Government of Nagaland, is set to organize a free training and competition programme under the theme “Sports for All.” The event will be held from August 22 to 30, 2025, at the Temjen Toy Indoor Shooting Range, located at the NSSA Multi-Disciplinary Sports Complex in Duncan, Dimapur.
This inclusive initiative is open to participants from across Nagaland, including differently-abled and hearing-impaired individuals, with eligibility starting from 10 years of age and above. Participants will compete in the 10-meter Air Pistol and Air Rifle categories.
The programme offers hands-on training under an expert instructor from the Department of Youth Resources and Sports, who is also a former Assistant Professor (Shooting) at the Department of Sports Coaching, National Sports University, Manipur. The course will cover safety protocols, fundamental techniques, and the technical, tactical, psychological, and physiological aspects of shooting.
