In every event four shooters have been selected which include the Olympic Quota winners. But the same does not apply to Men’s 25m Rapid Fire.

India is yet to win a quota in the Rapid Fire event but has hopes of getting the quota based on World Rankings. Anish Bhanwala has a good chance to make it through the World Rankings route if he performs well in World Cups next year. However, for now the NRAI has selected Anish Bhanwala and Vijayeer Siddhu for training for this event.

Additionally, the NRAI has selected Manu Bhaker (Pistol – 10m and 25m) and Anjum Moudgil ( Rifle – 10m and 50m 3P) for two events keeping their record in consideration. It was Chinki Yadav who had won the quota in the 25m pistol event.
