a website for the shooters by the shooters

indianshooting.com is India's first website on shooting sports. This website was floated on 5th April 2005 by rifle shooter Shimon Sharif with an aim to promote and develop shooting sports in India. The website has all the information required by beginners, top shooters, media and anyone associated with shooting sports in India. It covers all shooting events with an Indian interest and keeps a track of the Indian Shooters. The website also helps the beginners to interact with the top shooters and coaches, through interactive chat sessions. The website has all the latest news, interviews, photographs, videos, results, upcoming events, rankings, rules, unmatched statistics etc.

Providing all this information the website hopes that shooters as well as shooting sport interested and enthusiastic fans, officials and the media will use our website to get closer to Indian shooting sports.

Mr. Shimon Sharif
The founder & editor of indianshooting.com, Shimon Sharif is an experienced rifle shooter and has been associated with the shooting fraternity since 1995, he represented India at the ISSF World Cup at Korea in 2003 along with Olympic gold medallist Abhinav Bindra and also at other international competitions, Shimon has won over 25 medals at various National level shooting competitions, a two times silver medalist at the National Games 2002 and National Games 2001 and winner of "Best Shooter Award" of Northern India in 2003.

Shimon has a vast knowledge of the sport. He has a vision to take this Olympic sport to new frontiers and make it available to the masses in order to encourage them to take up the sport. Since Shooting Sports in India has always been under wraps for a common man, he sorted the idea for a website so a common man has a first hand information to the sport and everything associated with it.
