Born as a younger son of journalist parents Rajesh Kumar Sharma and Swati Sharma since his childhood Shapath was very energetic and bright. In almost everything he always followed elder brother
Shrey , who is six year older to him .
He had an affection for toy guns since his childhood, which grew stronger with passing time.At that time his parents had never
imagined that one day he would own a real gun
and shooting from this gun he would shot to worldwide fame.
Surprisingly enough Shapath got the first medal of his life in his play school when he was only four year old and that was in hymn singing . He participated in
every activity such as dance , drama , oration from play school to higher school and won many medals . He was also appointed as Assistant head boy of primary wing of St Mary's Academy in Meerut when he was in class V.
The thing which distinguished Shapath from others right from his early childhood was his desperation to win . He never wanted to loose even while playing gully cricket . Things however took a twist in his life when Shrey started Shotgun
shooting . As hardly eight years of age Shapath wanted to accompany brother Shrey to the shooting range in Delhi . One day he managed to convince Shrey's coach Mr Sheikh to take him along. He was given a chance to shot a moving target
of trap shooting and it was a bull's eye. Amazed coach could see a shooter in him. Since than he used to travel to Delhi at weekends with brother to fire those two-three shots as he could not be given a shotgun at such
a tender age .
Realising his love for shooting father parents decided to give him a chance . He was taken to district riffle association of Meerut office where Shapath was taught to handle the gun.
Shapath started shotgun shooting with double trap event in the year 2013 at the age of 11. In the very first year he won a bronze medal in North zone . Thereafter in 2014 he became the state Champion of Uttarakhand in Junior category
and won three medals. Shapath did not had either a gun of his own or the ammunition at that time . Neither was he professionally trained . But his talent and an eye to kill targets was spotted by former World Champion and a star
of Double trap shooting Ranjon Sodhi.
Sodhi who is known as Shapath's mentor not only arranged for his training by Yogendra Pal Singh 'Yogi' but also gifted him some targets to kickstart his training . Since than there has
been no stopping . Shapath made it to the junior double trap team of India in 2015 and than senior double trap team at the age of 15 , making it a national record . Shapath has won nine international medals including
wordcup and worldchampionships .
He however have now changed his event to trap as double trap which he has been shooting has been removed from Olympic games .
His best world ranking was 18 and Asuan ranking
8 in Double Trap event at the age of 15 years
