New Delhi: Uttar Pradesh's talented shooter Saurabh Chaudhary and Haryana's Manu Bhaker on Friday aced the T1 men's and women's 10metre air pistol trials, respectively, at Dr Karni Singh range here.

In the ongoing national shooting trials, both world No.4 Saurabh and world No.2 Manu topped their qualification rounds, before going on to win the finals as well.

Saurabh shot a sizzling 590 in the 60-shot qualification round, before smashing the finals world record to record a stunning 246.9 to annihilate the opposition.

A National Rifle Association of India official, however, clarifed that this record would not go into records books as it has come in trials. IANS
