However, as per the stated policy, the National Rifle Association of India (NRAI) will take the final call on selection, based on the aggregate scores of shooters (in international tournaments and selection trials) leading up to the Olympic Games.
A total of 503 shooters from 58 countries are in the fray for top honours with eight of the ten events offering Olympic quota places.
