“To capture more talent, India have to build more facilities”: trap coach Peter Wilson

India secured three gold medals in trap shooting at the Asian Games, with Neeru Dhanda winning the women's individual title and Kynan Chenai winning the mixed team gold. Prior to these achievements, Zoravar Singh Sandhu claimed a bronze at the World Championships, followed by Dhanda's ISSF World Cup trap title victory. In an interview, London trap champion Peter Wilson discusses the team's progress, his coaching strategy, and the need for more shooting facilities in India.

Wilson emphasizes the importance of competitive training, mental preparation, and continuous improvement of the athletes' skills. While acknowledging Italy, the USA, and Australia as dominant powers in Olympic shotgun events, Wilson believes India has a wealth of talent waiting to be unleashed. He stresses the necessity of building more shooting ranges across the country to foster growth and ensure India's success in future Olympic endeavors.
