Five rounds, exactly
where you meant them.

Almost all of rifle shooting happens before the shot. Breathing, the position of your bones, the stillness you find between heartbeats. It is far quieter and far more mental than anyone expects walking in, and that is the part that hooks people.

Two hours, a small group, live ammunition and a proper 10-metre range. You leave with a scored target in your hand, which is a surprisingly hard thing to put down.

You’re not being handed
to a junior instructor.

Most people never get near a coach at this level. This is the part that is genuinely hard to replicate on your own.

Vishwajeet Shinde

Former international champion · Mumbai shooting coach

A former international rifle shooting champion — and, more to the point, a coach whose students have gone considerably further than that. Shooters he has trained have gone on to compete at the Olympics.

What that means for a beginner is unglamorous and good: he is almost uninterested in your score for the first hour. Position first, then breathing, then the trigger release — because that is what the people who get good actually spend their time on, and the target takes care of itself afterwards.

How it runs.

Two hours, coached end to end. Get there by 1:50 — we start on time, because the coach is on the clock.

1:50

Arrive

Ten minutes to find the place, drop your things and say hello, so the session itself starts on time.

2:00

Safety and the rifle

Range commands, how the rifle works, loading and making safe. Nobody points anything anywhere until this is done properly.

2:25

Position and breathing

Building a stance your skeleton holds rather than your muscles, finding your natural point of aim, and where in the breath cycle the shot actually goes.

3:00

Live fire

Sight alignment, sight picture, trigger pull — coached shot by shot on a ten-metre target. You start reading your own groups and adjusting.

3:45

The scored group

Five shots that count, filmed. Then we close, compare first targets to last, and talk about what surprised you.

Eight things,
properly.

Not a taster. We picked the few pieces that carry the most weight and drill those, in an order that builds — so two hours actually adds up to something.

✓

The rifle itself

Parts, loading, making safe, and range commands. Nobody shoots until this is done.

✓

Stance

Building a position your skeleton holds up rather than your muscles — because muscles shake.

✓

Natural point of aim

Setting up so the rifle points at the target when you relax, instead of fighting it there.

✓

Breathing

Where in the breath cycle the shot goes, and finding the still point between heartbeats.

✓

Sight alignment

Front sight, rear sight, target — in that order, and why that order matters.

✓

Sight picture

What “good enough” actually looks like, which is less perfect than beginners assume.

✓

Trigger pull

The squeeze that doesn’t disturb everything you just spent ten minutes setting up.

✓

Reading your group

What a scattered group tells you, what a tight-but-off group tells you, and what to change.

🎥 Filmed · end of session

Five shots, scored, on camera.

You finish on a ten-metre target with a scored five-shot group, filmed. Whatever the number is, it is yours.

Most people are startled by the gap between their first group and their last. That gap is the entire point of the afternoon, and it is why we put a scored attempt at the end rather than just letting you plink at paper.

You keep the target. Proof you did the thing, not just that you turned up.

₹1,800 covers
all of it.

No equipment rental on the side, no surprise add-ons at the door.

Questions.

Is it safe? I’ve never handled a gun.

Yes — this is a licensed range with strict protocol, and the first thing covered is handling and safety. Nobody touches a rifle until that’s done. Air rifles at 10 metres are the same discipline used at the Olympics, and it is a controlled environment throughout.

Do I need to be fit for this one?

No. This is the one on our list where fitness is genuinely irrelevant. Standing still and breathing well is the entire physical requirement.

I’ve never done this before. Will I be the worst one there?

No. The session is built to work whether you’re starting from scratch or you’ve done a bit before — the coach reads the room and scales it to the people in front of him. Nobody gets left behind and nobody sits around bored.

What should I wear and bring?

Comfortable clothes you can move in, and a water bottle. Everything else is provided.

What’s the early bird price?

₹1,800 instead of ₹2,000 — 10% off — if you book and pay by Friday 16 October. After that it goes back to ₹2,000. The price for two stays ₹3,500 either way.

We do it this way because we need to confirm numbers with the coach and the venue early. Booking sooner genuinely helps us, so it’s worth something to you.

How does the price for two work?

Pay ₹3,500 in one go for the two of you and send us both names on WhatsApp. We’ll keep you together on the day.

Two kinds of people are worth bringing: the one who’ll say yes in four seconds, and the one who’d never consider this in a hundred years. In our experience the second type has the better morning — they arrive with no expectations and leave having surprised themselves.

How do I book?

Fill in the booking form and follow the payment instructions inside it. Spots are first paid, first confirmed.

Is this one definitely running?

Yes. It’s full bar undefined places, the coach and the range are confirmed, and it goes ahead on Saturday, 24 October.

What if I have to cancel?

Tell us as early as you can and we’ll try to move you to the next one. We hold the coach on a fixed cost for the session, so last-minute cancellations are hard to refund — but talk to us rather than just not turning up.

Make things for an audience?

If you’re up for the
challenge, it’s on us.

If you make content around movement, fitness, or generally doing hard things on camera — we’d rather have you in the room than advertise at you. We’ll sponsor your spot.

You leave with proper photos and clips of yourself actually doing it. Say whatever you genuinely thought afterwards. We’re not going to script you.
