Adolescent markswoman Shreyasi Singh stowed a silver in womens' double trap to give India their eighth award from shooting in the twentieth Commonwealth Games on Sunday.
The 22-year-old Shreyasi shot down an aggregate focus of 92 to sack the silver, two shots behind gold champ Charlotte Kerwood of England.
An alternate Englishwoman Rachel Parish won the bronze with 91 focuses, after a shoot-off with Cynthia Meyer of Canada.
A not really great first adjust of 22 focuses saw Shreyasi trailing at the third spot after the third and penultimate adjust yet the Delhi shooter recouped some lost ground in the last adjust to win the silver at the Barry Buddon Center at Dundee close here.
With Kerwood, in whose name the Commonwealth Games record of 106 focuses (at 2006 Melbourne) stands, battling in the last adjust, Shreyasi was in with an opportunity to strive for a shoot-off for the gold however missed the twofold target twice to settle for the white metal. Shreyasi had rounds of 22 24 23.
The other Indian in the brawl, 20-year-old Varsha Varman completed fifth with 88 focuses (22, 19, 24, 23).
Counting Shreyasi's silver, Indian shooters have won eighth awards as such (3 gold and 5 silver).
It started with one gold and one silver on the opening day of shooting rivalries on Friday, before the Indian shooters included two gold and three silver on Saturday.
