BHOPAL: Studying at Ambala's Bhagirath Public School, Sarabjot Singh saw a few kids wielding air guns at a makeshift range during a summer camp. He was 13 then and harboured hopes of becoming a footballer. But the sight of kids aiming at paper targets with pistols didn't leave his mind. He went to his father and said, 'Dad, I want to pursue shooting".
That was 2014. Sarbjot's father Jitender Singh, a farmer, told his son that the sport is pretty expensive. But eventually, after Sarabjot insisted for months, he agreed.
