The upcoming Asian Games, the world's biggest multi-sport event after the Olympics, will be Abhishek Verma's first brush with international shooting, but the thought and the task that awaits do not unnerve the lawyer-cum-marksman.
Optimistically preparing to shoot at the Games, air pistol exponent Verma, 29, is a late bloomer.
Daunting as it may sound for many but the strapping man from Rohtak told PTI: "I am very excited and confident of my prospects in Indonesia."
"I picked up shooting as a hobby about three years ago when my father was posted in Hisar. I used to go to a gym there and got to know that there was a shooting range nearby. That's where I first picked up a gun."
