Pakistan's Shooting Stars: A Dazzling Display at the British Open

In a testament to their skill and dedication, Pakistan's national shooting team has made a remarkable impression at the F-Class British Open 2026, held in Bisley, UK. Led by Lt Gen Ahsan Gulrez, the team of 12 shooters from Pakistan secured an impressive haul of 13 medals, comprising seven gold, two silver, and four bronze medals. This outstanding achievement is all the more notable given that the team was one of the smallest contingents at the event, which drew approximately 185 top-notch shooters from 24 countries. The F-Class British Open, which took place from August 3 to 8, provided a highly competitive platform for the world's leading marksmen to showcase their prowess. Pakistan's shooters rose to the challenge, demonstrating remarkable consistency and competitiveness across individual and aggregate competitions. As the team gears up to participate in the 7th F-Class World Championship, also being held at Bisley from August 10 to 16, 2026, their performance at the British Open serves as a significant confidence booster. The team's success is a testament to Pakistan's growing strength in long-range competitive rifle shooting and its ability to compete successfully at the highest international level.
