WELL KNOWN AS 'Shooter Dadi' "Revolver Dadi"
editParkashi Tomar is an octogenarian and sharp shooter from the village of Johri in the Bagpat district in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. She is also known as 'Shooter Dadi' ('Dadi' meaning: "grandmother" in Hindi).
How she started shooting?
editShe first visited the shooting range for her grandson, who'd expressed interest in the sport. Her grandson got her to the shooting range, and she showed a streak of beginner's luck that made her coach believe that she was a natural. On her regular trips to the shooting range for her granddaughter's practice, she began shooting with him. Soon, she was so good that her first few competitions saw her defeat a Delhi Police Deputy Inspector General (DIG). The cop was so embarrassed he left before the prize distribution ceremony!
