ABOUT THE LEAGUE

Where Precision Meets Passion

The Shooting League of India (SLI) is the country’s first-ever franchise-based league for Olympic shooting, backed by the National Rifle Association of India (NRAI) and supported by the International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF). The inaugural edition will feature regional-based franchisees, thus giving fans a new way to connect with the sport.

Bringing together leading Indian and international athletes across rifle, pistol and shotgun disciplines, SLI combines top-level competition with entertainment, storytelling and fan engagement to create a modern sporting spectacle.

At its core, SLI aims to inspire the next generation, strengthen India’s shooting ecosystem and turn athletes into icons. The league has also inspired state-level initiatives such as the Shooting League of Karnataka (SLK) and the Shooting League of Maharashtra (SLM), helping expand franchise-based shooting formats and build the sport’s ecosystem across India.

SLI continues to be a key part of NRAI’s larger vision to take shooting to a wider audience and further strengthen the sport’s presence in India.
