Shooting (Hunting) in medieval times originated as a means of survival, as it was practiced to hunt animals and birds to supplement food requirement.  As a result of Industrial Revolution and increased agricultural output, hunting for food became less necessary.  However, affluent people continued to hunt as part of recreation.  To preserve Wild Life and put an end to indiscriminate poaching, the Government has almost banned hunting.  Some of these people took to target shooting as a sport. 

 

Shooting in India got recognized as  a  sport  with the  establishment  of National Rifle Association of India (NRAI), the highest governing body of shooting sports, which was established on 17 April 1951. From then on India achieved some success in the Olympic Games.
