You don't want to mess with 75-year-old Parkaso Tomar. The "shooter granny" from Johri village in Uttar Pradesh, India, is a crack shot.
And she has inspired a new generation of young women to pick guns - her daughter, Seema, becoming the first Indian woman to win a medal at the Rifle and Pistol World Cup.
Indeed, there appears to be more than one granny in the village taking potshots at a male-dominated society.
"The grannies were so good," said their coach, "a lot of the regulars stopped turning up at competitions to avoid being humiliated at the hands of a woman."
