In Hyberabad, India, Vikram Manney was a competitive international trap and air-rifle shooter. Come 2022, though, when his job as a human-resources professional brought the Manney family to Issaquah, Washington, he was determined to have his daughters Yuthika age 15 and her 10-year-old sister Jeevika carry on his shooting legacy in America by acquainting them with the trap, skeet and deer hunting that are so widely available here.
“I think for me, being a competitive shooter, the opportunity came up with the local youth club to get my daughters into shotgunning and gun safety,” Vikram said. “And since there’s not much hunting in Inda, I was eager to get them into hunting. My wife and I want to support them in these endeavors.”
