Her husband and coach, Ronak Pandit, heaped praise on his wife as he claimed that her determination and passion to always keep winning has helped her over the years.

“I wouldn’t use the word finicky. Shooters demand perfection. The margins are so close that when you take a shot from a distance of 35 feet, if your shot is half a millimetre closer to the centre, you could win. Obviously I will try and ensure that every variable is tested and controlled. This quest for perfection makes a shooter come across as demanding or finicky. It’s eventually to aid their performance. So when it comes to lighting or training under similar conditions or tuning their equipment or ensuring the correct ammunition that gets the most accurate results, shooters are demanding. Heena is very, very demanding. Without that, you don’t have a chance of winning,” Pandit told FirstPost.

“It’s a technical sport, so there are a lot of things that can affect you. If you don’t do the background work, then your performance will fall short somewhere. Shooters first take care of these things like the lighting or the quality of equipment or the range as these are the easiest to do,” Sidhu said.
