According to indianshooting.com, the Pakistani squad for the Asian Olympic qualification competition will be declared soon.
Earlier, Pakistan skipped the 8th Asian Airgun Championship held at the same venue in October due to the availability of no quota places on offer. Meanwhile, a 12-member contingent team was sent for Asian Shooting Championship last month that was held in Kuwait.
A total 500 shooters from 44 countries will be participating in the contest for obtaining 35 Olympic Quota places.
