They call him the "Goldfinger" after his exploits at the 2006 Commonwealth Games in Melbourne. After booking a place for the the Beijing Olympics next year, Samresh was at the first of a series of camps to be organised for young aspirants by indianshooting.com.
"There are certain things that you tend to forget over time. So when you go and coach and talk to people, those things come back to you which are just basic things that help you to develop," Samresh says.
Many of the young shooters at the camp have been taking the first steps towards the big league and exposure like this is always welcome.
"When international shooters come to you and teach you something, obviously it helps the juniors as we get to use some of tips, some of the secrets," says a shooting aspirant.
"He taught a lot of things to me, a lot of tips which will help me," adds another.
With nine Olympic quota places in the bag already, present Indian shooters have a great chance to win more than a medal in Beijiing. But to carry on their legacy in future, initiatives like this one will surely go a long way.
