Before the Olympics, each shooter required a Quota Place and Minimum Qualification Score. With invitations from the Tripartite Commission, Quota Places were given to Hamed Said Al-Khatri and Wadha Al-Balushi. To qualify for the men's 50 metre rifle three positions event, shooters needed at least 1135 points. Al-Khatri reached his requirement by scoring 1149 points at the 2014 ISSF World Shooting Championships in this division. For the women's 10 metre air pistol Olympic event, qualifiers needed 365 points or more. During the 2015 ISSF World Cup, Al-Balushi accumulated 381 points and reached her score requirement.
