Quick first impressions on Tenx book...

A GUIDE TO SPORTS SHOOTING - INDIAN CONTEXT

by Anand C K Shashidhar

I have only thumbed through it as I have just got it.

I only have praise, praise and more praise for this worthy and commendable effort.

This book should be in every library worth its name in this country. Especially the school and college libraries and it has a wealth of info on the sport, its equipement and personalities.

It is also a book for the budding shooting enthusiast.

With very few exceptions like hvj1 and Anand himself on IFG, TT forums and my distant coach Robin Carter of UK, I was always asking myself "what next" and then asked the same to those "I knew" in the shooting sport. The answers I got, when I got, were confusing, conflicting. People were too busy to coach me even when I was prepared to offer them "guru dakshina". There was always a distinct lack of info and systematic sharing of info. It appears that this book will not have another confused and lost fantumfan2003. The graphic on page 39 of the book tells me so.

I look forward to, time permitting, doing a detailed review of the book.

Anand, A Heartfelt Thank You for this special offering. Looking forward to many more with deep dives in to the various streams, especially the rifle streams.

And for all other IFG'ians who are still reading........

As an example of overcoming adversity, Karoly Takacs has few peers. He was part of Hungary’s world champion pistol-shooting team in 1938, when an army grenade exploded, crippling his right hand. Ten years later, having taught himself to shoot with his left, he won two gold medals in the rapid-fire class.

you bought it online?
where?
So many times, it happens too fast
You trade your passion for glory
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive

It's the eye of the tiger
It's the thrill of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge
Of our rival
And the last known survivor
Stalks his prey in the night
And he's watching us all with the
Eye of the tiger

Checked on flipkart - doesn't seem so. FF2003 has given the site URL. I have dropped a query - now awaiting the reply.
