Tejaswini, 29, used to do some 22 shooting as an NCC cadet in Kolhapur but when she wanted to turn professional, she realized she had no access to equipment and no means to acquire her own. In 1999, a coach, Jaisingh Kusale, spotted potential in Tejaswini and loaned her a 10-metre air rifle.

Near the temple

B
Where the beggar stood

C
