In a move to meet the rising demand for high-quality shooting training centres, Topgun Shooting Academy has expanded its reach with the launch of a new branch in Sector 50, Gurugram.

Building on the success of its Sector 38 branch, which opened in 2022, this new location strengthens Topgun's already robust presence in Delhi, Raipur, and Jaipur.

The academy was founded in 2006 by former international shooter Shimon Sharif. With India's consistent success in global shooting competitions, including a standout performance at the Paris Olympics, the academy's role in nurturing future champions has become even more significant, according to Sharif.

Sharif, the first rifle shooter from Delhi to represent India at the ISSF World Cup, brings a wealth of experience to the academy.
