Precihole Sports

What Precihole Sports does

Precihole Sports Pvt. Ltd. is an Indian sporting goods manufacturer founded in 2012 and headquartered in Thane, Maharashtra. The company was established when Dr. Y. P. Shirsat, a Medical Doctor and target shooting expert, partnered with Precihole Machine Tools, a deep hole drilling manufacturer with over two decades of barrel-making experience. Precihole Sports self-identifies as the number one air gun manufacturer in India and operates under the "Make in India" initiative, manufacturing air rifles, air pistols, and shooting accessories for the Indian shooting fraternity.

The company manufactures across three power-plant technologies — Pre-Charged Pneumatic (PCP), Nitro Piston, and Spring Piston — using in-house precision processes including CNC machining, sheet metal bending, injection molding, metal injection, barrel drilling, heat treatments, chemical plating, welding, and laser marking. The product portfolio spans entry-level break barrel models (VX100 Spartan Mark 2, SX100/SX200, SP60 Aries), mid-range Nitro Piston models (NX200 Athena series, NX100 Club Elite Plus, NP60 Draco), and competition-grade PCP rifles and pistols (PX100 Benchrest Pro/X3, PX120 Minotaur B-X3 bull pup, PX100 Achilles series, PP100 Chimera B-X3, PP75 Champion, PP55 Match Pro). Higher-end models feature match-grade adjustable triggers (down to 60 grams on the PX100 Match Pro Junior), integrated suppressors, magazine compatibility, and Picatinny rails. Six industrial designs are registered to Precihole Sports Pvt. Ltd. The supporting accessories range includes pellets, mounts, sights, cases, holsters, maintenance tools, targets, and the HP200 hand pump.

Revenue is generated through unit hardware sales via two channels: an authorized dealer network of 50+ partners across 28+ Indian states for break barrel rifles, and a direct-to-consumer e-commerce store (www.preciholesports.com) for PCP rifles, spares, and accessories, with free delivery on orders above Rs. 2,500 and pricing from Rs. 18 to Rs. 46,499. The company serves four primary segments: shooting enthusiasts, competitive shooters (including Olympic and Commonwealth-level athletes), authorized dealers, and 100+ shooting clubs and academies, the latter supported by the company's own Precihole Foundation Training Centre and branded events such as "Plink with Precihole." Precihole made its international debut at IWA Outdoor Classics 2024 and currently employs 11-50 staff.
