The Indian shooting contingent at the Tokyo Olympics 2020 will begin their campaign on 24th July 2021. India will send a strong team to the quadrennial event in Japan, boasting several medal-winners at the international shooting events.

The 15-member Indian shooting team is the second-largest contingent of the country after hockey (16 each in men's and women's teams). The Indian shooters have been training in Croatia for over a month now and participated in the Croatian leg of the 2021 ISSF World Cup in Osijek, where they won four medals. They are slated to leave for Tokyo on 17th July 2021.

Considering their success on the global stage in recent years, Indian shooters are expected to hog the spotlight at the quadrennial event in Japan. Shooting is definitely one of the medal prospects for India at the Tokyo Olympics 2020.
