After just completing the renovation and improvement project, I came here to play once. At that time, I feel very shocked! In the past, the conditions here were indeed relatively limited, and the facilities at the shooting range were relatively rudimentary. But now you can see that these equipments, electronic and laser, are really advanced and complete. I am especially envious that today's athletes can operate under such conditions. Training and competition will take place below.”
Shooting and archery tend to be "niche"
The venues benefit the people so that more people can discover the charm of these sports.
At present, many venues of the Chengdu Universiade are open to the public for free or at low fees. "Universiade Benefiting the People" has truly entered the homes of ordinary people.

Peng Xinyi also said: "Shooting is actually a niche and unpopular sport. In the past, it was not easy for the public to access this sport. If it weren't for my father being a shooting athlete and taking me to the shooting range, I may not be able to access it. Now we are taking advantage of the opportunity of the Chengdu Universiade venue to benefit the people, so that so many children can enter the shooting school, so that more people can understand the shooting sport, discover the charm of this sport, and also find good projects for the shooting project. seedling."
