What's the difference between KSRA and NRAI? I am from Bangalore but irrespective of that, which association should I aspire to join and on what grounds?
Thanks in advance!

If you wish to participate in competitions, then you need to join your State Association or a District unit/ club which is affiliated with them. State/ district units also (usually) provide ammunition/ pellets for practice at the range (against payment of course). They may also have firearms/ airguns for rent at the range.

If you wish to use the range in Bangalore, I believe that is owned by the Sports Authority of India (SAI), so you may need to take separate range membership as well (please check with them to confirm). If the SAI system works the same as in Delhi, the range membership would also allow you to rent SAI firearms for use at the range (if you have a valid license), but they will provide no ammunition.

NRAI membership only allows you to purchase some limited items from NRAI (see their website for what is available). Contrary to what some people believe, it does NOT confer upon you any right to use any shooting range/ any other such facilities (since they have none).
