Rising Indian woman skeet shooter Sekhon won a silver medal at the ISSF Junior World Championship here.
This was India&rsquo;s fifth medal of the day.
The Chandigarh shooter, who picked up her first senior ISSF World Cup stage medals in New Delhi earlier this year, went down in a shoot-off to American Alisha Fayth Layne, after both were tied on 46 hits in the 60-shot final. Sara Bongini of Italy won bronze.&nbsp;

The second Indian in the women&rsquo;s skeet final, Raiza Dhillon could not get going and finished sixth after hitting 14 of the first 20 targets.
