In the world of sports, success is built on discipline, mentorship, and the right environment. At Gun For Glory Shooting Academy, we create that environment for every aspiring shooter. Founded by Olympic medalist Gagan Narang and Mr. Pawan Singh, ISSF Judges Committee Member, under the Gagan Narang Sports Promotion Foundation (GNSPF), Gun For Glory was built to provide world-class training to Indian shooters. As a Khelo India-accredited academy, we combine excellence, structure, and opportunity, redefining how shooting sport is taught and nurtured across India.
A Vision Born from Passion and Purpose
Gun For Glory was founded with a clear vision — to make shooting sport accessible, structured, and excellence-driven for all passionate learners. However, it’s not just about accessibility. Over time, it has grown into a nationwide network, thereby bridging the gap between grassroots participation and elite performance.
Furthermore, with a training philosophy rooted in Olympic-level expertise, Khelo India standards, and sports science, the academy ensures every athlete — from beginner to national-level — receives the right foundation to excel.
World-Class Coaching and Mentorship
Indeed, Gun For Glory’s strength lies in its exceptional coaching team — a blend of experienced mentors, former shooters, and sports science experts who know what it takes to excel. Specifically, with focused guidance on posture, breathing, trigger control, and mindset, athletes learn to master both body and mind.
In addition, under the mentorship of Olympians and national champions, young shooters refine their skills, build mental strength, and transform raw talent into world-class performance. As a result, they develop the technical precision and mental resilience required at the highest levels.
Sports Science: The Edge Behind Every Shot
While shooting may appear to be a still sport, it actually demands perfect harmony between the body and mind. Therefore, Gun For Glory integrates sports science into every stage of training — covering everything from physical fitness and nutrition to biomechanics and psychology.
Moreover, with the support of performance experts who analyze data, track progress, and design customized programs, athletes benefit from a scientific, evidence-based approach. Consequently, this enhances focus, precision, and endurance. As a result, each shooter is equipped not only to compete but to consistently improve throughout their journey.
Project LEAP — Elevating High-Performance Talent
Taking this commitment even further, Project LEAP (Learn, Experience, Apply, Perform) stands as a flagship high-performance program. Notably, it’s jointly developed by Gun For Glory and the Gagan Narang Sports Promotion Foundation (GNSPF) in collaboration with Olympic Gold Quest.
Since its inception in 2017, Project LEAP has conducted multiple specialized training camps, nurturing more than 300+ elite athletes. Impressively, shooters trained through this initiative have already secured 200+ international medals and 500+ national medals. Thus, it has proven to be a game-changer in Indian shooting.
Additionally, through Project LEAP’s structured, multi-phase camps in Rifle, Pistol, and Para Shooting disciplines, athletes receive advanced technical, physical, and mental conditioning. Furthermore, they train under the guidance of world-class coaches from Slovakia, Hungary, Australia, Norway, and Germany. Consequently, Project LEAP has become a cornerstone in India’s shooting success story, thereby building a clear pathway from potential to podium.
Early Talent Identification and Grassroots Development
At Gun For Glory, the journey begins early. As a Khelo India–accredited academy, we identify and nurture young talent through school partnerships and Talent Identification Drives across India. Moreover, our structured programs give students access to expert coaching, exposure, and scholarships. Therefore, we guide them from school-level participation to international competition, ensuring no talent goes unnoticed.
Life Skills Beyond the Range
However, shooting sport at Gun For Glory goes beyond medals. Instead, it builds discipline, patience, focus, and emotional control. Specifically, the calmness learned on the range helps athletes manage stress, make clear decisions, and perform under pressure. Thus, these are skills that benefit them in academics, careers, and life. In essence, we’re not just building shooters; we’re building well-rounded individuals.
A Community of Champions
With 9 Olympians, 390 international medals, and over 3,000 national-level shooters, Gun For Glory continues to shape India’s shooting landscape. Nevertheless, our true success lies not just in numbers. Rather, it’s in every athlete who gains confidence, focus, and self-belief — thereby embodying the spirit of excellence that defines our academy.
Furthermore, with expert coaching, sports science-backed training, and Project LEAP’s high-performance framework, the academy continues to nurture the next generation of Indian shooters. Therefore, at Gun For Glory, every athlete is encouraged to aim high — both on the range and in life. Ultimately, this holistic approach is what sets us apart and creates champions who excel in every arena.
