World champions since the 2016 Games have been Daniele Resca of Italy (2017), Alberto Fernández of Spain (2018), and Matthew Coward-Holley of Great Britain (2019).

Great Britain has earned qualifying spots and is expected to make its 21st appearance, most of any nation.

To compete, a shooter needs a quota spot and to achieve a Minimum Qualification Score (MQS).

[5] The COVID-19 pandemic delayed some of the events for qualifying for shooting, though many had been complete before the effects were felt.

The competition will not continue to use the format introduced in 2016, with a qualifying round, semifinal, and finals.

The final round consists of 25 targets, after which a shooter with lowest number of successful shots is eliminated (placing 6th in the overall competition standings).
