Expert Shooting Academy Delhi

Expert Shooting Academy (ESA) is a dream that coach Sabir Khan always wanted to live. With ESA becoming a reality now, Mr. Khan now aims to turn it into a launchpad to produce champions of the future for Indian shooting sport.
A national-level shooter with a coaching experience of more than a decade, Mr. Khan fueled his dream to coach by completing the National Rifle Association of India-accredited coaching course in 2010. Since then, he has gone on to produce innumerable national shooters, some of whom went on to play for India and win medals on the international stage.
A Pathan from the state of Uttar Pradesh, Mr. Khan is not just earning a living out of shooting but also providing young talented shooters the means and expertise to an expensive sport that was unapproachable for the masses not long ago.
He got his shooting DNA from his ancestors. They introduced him to shooting as a competitive sport with a makeshift shooting range at home back in 1998.
Mr. Khan went on to play the National Championships and then decided to take a plunge in coaching. He also played the 2019 National Championships in 50m Pistol.
Mr. Khan spent the most time as coach with the Sportzcraft Inc’s shooting academy at the Guru Harkrishan Public School in Punjabi Bagh from 2012 to 2020. He quit his job earlier this year to pursue the dream of his own coaching academy, but the coronavirus pandemic put his plans on hold.
While with Sportzcraft, Mr. Khan produced a number of international shooters as well. To name a few, rifle shooters Mandeep Kaur Popli and Mohit Kumar Agnihotri went on to play for India. While Mandeep participated in the 2015 Asian Shooting Championship in Kuwait, Agnihotri was part of the team that won gold at the 2017 Asian Airgun Championship held in Japan.
Besides, Mr. Khan’s student Pooja Agarwal, who is a para pistol shooter, won a silver medal at the 2017 World Cup in the UAE; and Yogita Lamba participated in the 2015 Asian Air Gun Championships held in Delhi.
In 2018, Mr. Khan’s shooters Rahul Chauhan and Ruhan Kapoor were selected for India trials; and in 2019, his noted students Naamya Kapoor, Khushi Kapoor, Lavanya Chopra and Mahima Sachdeva went on to play the National Championships and qualified for India trials.
