The Tournament

Bengaluru has its runners. Bengaluru has its cyclists. Now Bengaluru has its Top Gun.

Uru Top Gun is Bengaluru's first proper amateur rifle shooting championship. Not a one-day taster. Not a corporate team-building afternoon. A full elimination tournament — qualifiers, quarter-finals, semi-finals, and a final — run across three weekends, with a single champion at the end of it.

It is built on the same idea behind Uru Night Run: take an experience that was previously locked away from regular Bengalureans and give them a real, structured, competitive way to enter it.

No licence required. No equipment to buy. Walk in, register, and see how good you actually are.

If you have ever held a rifle once at a fair and thought 'I could be good at this,' this is your tournament. If you have already taken a few shooting classes and want to find out where you rank, this is your tournament.

The leaderboard does not care who you are. It only cares what you scored.

Tournament Structure

The journey from 120 to 1.

Three weekends. Five elimination rounds. Every round is harder than the last, the format changes, and the pressure compounds. Here's the path the champion takes.

Weekend One · Qualifiers

120 shooters. Two days. One pooled ranking.

60 shooters Saturday, 60 Sunday. Same format both days. Six batches per day, ten shooters per batch, one hour per batch.

How the day runs

  • Six batches of 10 shooters per day. One batch per hour.
  • Within each batch, you split into two groups of 5 and shoot simultaneously across 5 lanes.
  • Five practice shots, then 30 scored shots inside a 30-minute window.
  • Saturday and Sunday scores are pooled into a single combined ranking.
Top 16 → skip the QF entirely, go straight to semi-final. Ranks 17–56 → enter the quarter-final heat. Bottom 60 are out.
02
Weekend Two · QF + SF

The format gets brutal. Two days, two cuts.

Saturday — Quarter-Final Heats

  • 40 shooters, 8 groups of 5.
  • Five practice + 10 base scored shots that lock in your starting score.
  • Then the elimination heat: 4 intervals of 5 shots each.
  • After every interval, the lowest cumulative scorer in each group is knocked out.
  • Only 1 shooter per group is left standing. Eight advance.

Sunday — Semi-Finals

  • 24 shooters: the 16 who skipped from qualifiers + the 8 QF survivors.
  • Six rounds of 4 shooters across 4 lanes.
  • Five practice + 20 base scored shots.
  • Then 5 bonus shots — each one worth 2× face value.
  • All 24 must finish before the cut. Top 12 by cumulative score advance.
Result: 12 finalists. Half the remaining field eliminated.
03
Weekend Three · The Final

Three stages. One day. The format changes at every stage.

Mental composure matters as much as marksmanship. The course is designed to test consistency, speed, and pressure handling — in that order.

Stage 1 — Scored Rounds   ·   12 → 9

  • 3 groups of 4. Five practice + 10 scored shots per shooter.
  • Once all 12 have shot, the bottom 3 scores are out.

Stage 2 — Reset the Spinners   ·   9 → 6

  • 3 groups of 3. Speed challenge.
  • Reset every spinner target on your lane as fast as you can.
  • Slowest in each group is out, immediately.

Stage 3 — The Time Trial   ·   6 → 1 Top Gun

  • 2 groups of 3. 10 scored shots inside a 6-minute window per group.
  • Highest score wins. Fastest completion is the tiebreaker.
Champion crowned. Final standings published on the leaderboard. Photos. Cold drinks. Until next season.

The Distance

Olympic standard. 10 metres.

The Target

Concentric scoring. Bull's-eye is 10.

Non-reflective paper, 170mm × 170mm. Standard concentric rings. The closer you are to centre, the higher you score. Simple.

Code of Conduct

The range is at zero tolerance.

These rules exist to keep every shooter safe and to keep every score honest. They are non-negotiable. By registering, you agree to abide by them in full.

01

Safety First

  • Mandatory indemnity. All participants must sign an Official Indemnity & Liability Waiver before stepping onto the firing line. Refusal = forfeiture, no refund.
  • Unsafe handling. Pointing the barrel away from the target, ignoring Range Officer instructions, or putting any other shooter at risk = immediate disqualification, no warnings.
  • Sobriety. Strict zero-alcohol and zero-substance policy. Anyone suspected of being under the influence is barred from the season.
02

Precision & Punctuality

  • The 15-minute rule. Check in at least 15 minutes before your assigned batch start time.
  • Late arrival. Miss your batch briefing, you forfeit the slot. The schedule is absolute — it has to be, to be fair to every other shooter.
03

Equipment & Fair Play

  • Standard issue. Everyone uses the provided competition-grade rifle and official pellets. This is what makes the tournament fair.
  • No modifications. Tampering with provided equipment outside of supervised zeroing sessions = disqualification.
  • No coaching from the side. Once a competitive round begins, external coaching or signaling from the sidelines is prohibited.
04

The Official Verdict

  • Scoring. All targets scored to official Olympic-standard metrics. Ties in qualifiers are broken by a shoot-off or by Inner-Ten count.
  • Finality. The Lead Judge's decision on scoring, conduct and eligibility is final and binding.
05

Image & Conduct

  • Sportsmanship. Trash-talking, disrupting other shooters, or being rude to staff = permanent ban from future seasons.
  • Media. By participating, you agree to be featured in Uru Top Gun media. Look sharp — you're representing the best amateur shooters in the city.
Before You Register

Frequently asked.

Do I need my own rifle?+
No. Everyone uses the same competition-grade air rifle, provided by us, calibrated by the range officer before each round. The whole point of the tournament is to find the best shooter, not the one with the best gear.
I have never shot before. Is this for me?+
Yes — in fact this tournament was built for you. Your first weekend includes a full induction and rifle calibration session. Coaches will teach you safety, stance, sight alignment and how to zero. You will fire qualifying shots only after you are ready.
What's included in my registration?+
Your induction session, rifle calibration slot, official competition-grade rifle and pellets, target sheets, practice shots in every round, your spot on the official Bengaluru leaderboard, and access to the eliminator and final rounds as a spectator if you don't make the cut. If you do make the cut, you keep going.
What if I get knocked out early?+
You'll have an official score and a ranking on the Bengaluru leaderboard. You're welcome to come back for the eliminators and the final to watch, learn, and prepare for next season. The tournament keeps running. So can you.
Why three weekends? Why not one day?+
Because a real tournament tests consistency. One day of shooting tells you who got lucky. Three weekends of qualifiers, eliminations and finals tells you who can actually deliver under pressure, repeatedly. We schedule across weekends so it fits around your work week.
What's the age limit?+
Minimum 16 to enter without adult supervision. There's no upper limit. If you'd like to enter someone under 16, contact us before registering and we'll work it out.
Can I just come and watch?+
Yes. Spectator slots will be opened closer to each weekend. Best viewing is the semi-finals (Sunday of Weekend 2) and the final stages (Weekend 3).
Where will it be held?+
At an official, licensed shooting range in Bengaluru. Exact venue and directions are sent to registered shooters one week before Weekend 1.
