Shooting at the 2015 European Games

Shooting competitions at the 2015 European Games in Baku were held between 13 and 19 June 2015 at the Baku Shooting centre.

Nineteen events were included with 330 athletes taking part. The programme featured several non-Olympic Mixed team events. The winners of the fifteen Olympic events gained automatic entry to the Rio 2016 Olympic Games.^[1]

Qualification

The bulk (295 from 330) of qualification quota places will be awarded based on European rankings as of December 31, 2014. The quota places can be attributed to athletes who are among: - 33 top-ranked in Men's Trap and Skeet; - 30 top-ranked in all individual Pistol and Rifle events of either gender; - 18 top-ranked in Women's Trap and Skeet, and Men's Double Trap.

The maximum number of athletes per country is 2 in each event. In case there are more than 2 athletes among the top ranked then the exceeding places are added to the pool of Universality places, awarded to ensure a larger number of nations enjoy representation. In addition, regardless of ranking, as hosts. Azerbaijan are guaranteed 9 host quota places, 5 for men and 4 for women.^[2]

There will be no separate quota places in respect of the mixed events. Rather, only nations with entries in both the relevant men's and women's events will be able to compete with existing shooters.
