The NRAI has made a list of 50 shooters each in air rifle and air pistol, both in the men’s and women’s sections, keeping in mind the selection criteria of the shooters being born on or after January 1, 2003.

The national federation will keep the score of the shooters in the last national championship as the base score and add the qualification scores of the two trials to form the rank. There will be no finals in the trials.
