Dr. Karni Singh Shooting Range

Against the backdrop of the majestic Adilabad Fort sits the Dr. Karni Singh Shooting Range. This isn’t just any shooting range. It’s a testament to a Maharaja, an Arjuna Awardee, and the spirit of precision. Dr. Karni Singh Shooting Range hosted events during the 1982 Asian Games. The range was built to honor Maharaja Dr. Karni Singh. He was the first Arjuna Awardee in shooting in 1961. The Dr. Karni Singh Shooting Range isn’t just steeped in history. It’s a hub of activity, spread across a sprawling 72 acres. It’s divided into six distinct sections. These include a 50-metre range, a 25-metre range, and a 10-metre range. There’s also a final range, a skeet and trap range, and a state-of-the-art armoury building. The range underwent extensive renovations for the 2010 Commonwealth Games. Participants lauded it as one of the world’s best. The revitalization included massive plantations. This transformed Dr. Karni Singh Shooting Range into one of India’s most attractive shooting destinations. Imagine standing at the 10-meter range. It’s a centrally air-conditioned indoor facility, complete with power backup and a 500-spectator capacity. Or picture yourself at the trap and skeet range, an open-air venue with a covered seating area. Fifty firing points await. The Dr. Karni Singh Shooting Range is more than a sporting venue. It is a blend of history, nature, and cutting-edge technology. It stands as a tribute to a shooting legend.
