from BBC any one else knows about this amazing story..so much for Delhi courts decision and anti gun lobby
A 75 year old grandmother is an inspiration for girls and boys in a village in Northern India, who following in her steps have taken up shooting as a sport.
Parkaso Tomar's story is quite unusual.
She was attracted to shooting when she was in her sixties, and a good fifteen years later, still shoots with a steady hand.
She has won many regional and national shooting competitions
