Dr. Karni Singh Shooting Range
About
The Dr. Karni Singh Shooting Range is one of the largest and most renowned shooting complexes in India, located in New Delhi, in the Tughlakabad area, against the backdrop of the Adilabad Fort in South Delhi. The complex is managed by the Sports Authority of India (SAI) and is open to shooters of all levels — from beginners to participants in international competitions.
The shotgun disciplines are represented by six composite fields for trap and skeet, compliant with ISSF standards. The total number of shooting positions on the shotgun fields is 50. The fields are outdoors; each position has an individual shelter for the shooter, and the spectator stands accommodate 2,000 seats. The scoring system on the shotgun fields is electronic, produced by Laporte. This is where ISSF World Cup competitions and Commonwealth Championships in trap and skeet are regularly held.
In addition to shotgun disciplines, the complex includes an indoor range at 10 m with air conditioning and 80 firing positions for air rifle and pistol, an outdoor range at 25 m (50 positions) for pistol, and a 50 m range (80 positions) for small-bore rifle. A separate final range operates, capable of transforming between 10 m, 25 m, and 50 m formats within ten minutes. In 2017, an additional 10 m mini-range was opened for introductory training.
The infrastructure of the complex includes changing rooms, lockers, restrooms, accessibility for visitors with disabilities, lighting, a café, a fitness center, a sauna, and accommodation rooms for athletes. The shooting range hosts SAI training camps and regularly conducts ISSF-level competitions, including the 2024 World Cup Final and the 2025 Junior World Cup.
