Early life

From around 1995, Sheoran was coached by Mahboob Khan Pathan and entered state- and national-level events.

Coaching career

In 2009 he started a tin-shed shooting range with five students, one air rifle and an old air pistol.[3] The shed is named after a 1857 anti-British revolutionary.[3] In 2016 the father of an old student gifted a small parcel of land - sufficient to allow a marginally larger shed (16x12 sqm) with, for the first time, a pair of fans.[3] He later founded Aryan Gateways.
