Parinaaz Dhaliwal (106) and Asees Chhina (101) placed 18th and 23rd respectively, in a field of 27 shooters.
In men’s skeet, Sheeraz Sheikh shot 25 and 24 on the second day of competition, but a total of 119 proved four points short to make the final, and placed him 37th out of 130 shooters.
"I missed the last target today. Otherwise, it would have been 50 out of 50’’, said Sheeraz.
In fact, Sheeraz was shooting with a borrowed gun, as his own had got damaged before competition as the barrel burst. He had shot 70 out of 75 overnight with rounds of 23, 23 and 24.
Olympian Mairaj Ahmad Khan shot 118 as his rounds ranged between 23 and 24, while Anant Jeet Singh Naruka also had the same total as he shot all the scores between 22 and 25. They placed 48th and 49th respectively.
