Six India shooters - Gagan Narang, Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore, Manavjit Singh Sandhu, Avneet Kaur Sindhu, Abhinav Bindra and Anjali Bhagwat - have already booked their Olympic berths.
Other top shooters like Tejaswini Samant and Samresh Jung, who won five gold medals in the Commonwealth Games last year, will be looking to bag their seats for the Beijing Games through the World Cup.
The second World Cup will be held in Sydney from April 25 to May 3 followed by the third in Bangkok from May 3-11. The last World Cup this year will be held in Munich, May 28-June 4.
