Procedure for Pay and Play at Karni Singh shooting range, Tuklakabad

[veeveeaar]

Friends,
I request you to kindly provide guidance to get admission/permission for practice at Karni singh shooting range Tuklakabad
( KSSR ).
I have searched the web for the same but have not got a clear set of procedures/ fee structures etc.
I need to practice for the Shotgun Nationals December 2024- January 2025.
How to apply ( By post or online)
Whom to contact?, How to purchase ammunition?.etc.

This will benefit many shooters.
Jai Hind

you should be renowned shot in event that you want to practice at range. fee is minimal 200rs for a year afaik,
you have to download a form from SAI site,fill it and deposit at range with medical certificate. Karni sing range comes under sports authority of india.
but you will get only 70,80 days in year for practice, range remains closed for practice during ongoing matches. you needs to be a member of nrai and hold a valid license to purchase ammo from nrai shop and most of times ammo is out of stock.NRAI do provide ammo during matches on coopetitor card. get in touch with a coach from range.

Over the years the process has changed somewhat, as have the fees.

Before you begin the process, you will need the following:-
1. Scan of your address proof
2. Scan of your date of birth proof (if different from the above)
3. Scan of your arms license (if planning to shoot in a firearms discipline viz anything other than 10 metre air-rifle/ air-pistol)
4. Scan of medical certificate from a doctor (with his registration no. clearly mentioned) stating that you are not suffering from any contagious disease
5. Scan of your signed undertaking (download from here https://booksaistadia.gov.in/athlete/im ... ngform.pdf )
6. Scan/ PDF of your renowned shot certificate. This was made mandatory during the covid pandemic, as range use was severely restricted during those days, but they still ask for it. If you are not a renowned shooter (which I'm guessing would be the case, else this query would not have been posted here), I would suggest you write a letter to "The Administrator, Dr. KSSR, Tuglaqabad" seeking his exception/ indulgence to allow you to practice at the range. Upload a scan of this letter in the place of the renowned shot certificate and follow up offline. From what I hear, they are quite open to such follow ups.
7. A PP sized photo of yours in JPEG format

Current process is as follows:

1. Go to https://booksaistadia.gov.in/athlete/
2. If not already registered there (assuming you aren't), click on the "register" link in the top navigation menu (else click on login - duh!)
3. Once registered, return to the website and login. Upon login, you will seek a big link in the centre of the page saying "book stadia", clicking on this does NOTHING (at least on firefox, it may work in other browsers). Here you will once again need to click on one of the top navigation links, labelled "book now"
4. This will take you to an online form, wherein you will need to fill in your details, choose your stadia (KSSR in this case, choose your discipline (10m, 25, shotgun), choose your timings, etc. The form is pretty self explanatory, you'll be required to make the uploads on the next page.
5. There is a nominal INR 100 fee for registration, to be paid after your application is approved. This fee is valid for an entire financial year - so if you apply in April of the year, you just pay INR 100 till next year 31st March! To give credit where it is due, this massive reduction in fees was introduced by Shri. Kiren Rijiju during his tenure as Sports Minister.
6. Lastly, you will need to arrange for your own consumables at the range - ammo, targets etc. Target grade guns can be hired, but that is another offline process, which is probably not within the ambit of this question.

For more info, they also have their own user guide on how to go about this, you can download it from here - https://booksaistadia.gov.in/athlete/im ... Client.pdf

Shoot safe.

Cheers!
