The Indian pistol shooters were bang on target, to warm up for the tough challenges ahead, as the team jumped to the top of the medals table with four gold, five silver and two bronze medals on the second day of the Junior World Cup in Suhl, Germany, on Sunday. Udhayveer Sidhu and Gaurav Rana won the individual gold in the 25-metre standard pistol and the 50-metre free pistol events. The Indian shooters also won the team gold medals to boost the tally.
