No contest, 78yr old Indian grandmother becomes world’s oldest professional sharpshooter

At 78, most pensioners are reliant on the glasses to even read a newspaper.

But not Indian grandmother Chandro Tomar.

With a £1,200 pistol in hand, and her sari draped over her long silver hair, it’s believed she’s the world’s oldest female professional sharpshooter.

She has entered and won over 25 national championships across India as well as raising six children and 15 grandchildren.

She said, “I wanted to do something useful with my life and show people my capabilities.

“As soon as I shot my first pistol I was hooked. And now I’ve shown everyone there are no disadvantages to my age. If you’re focused you can do anything.”
