Akash, the other Indian in action, was unable to make it to the final. He finished 27th in qualifying.
The pistol can only be held with one hand, so athletes in the SH1 category may have an impairment that affects one arm or both legs.
P4 is the classification for mixed 50m air pistol competition.
Some shooters compete from a seated position while others aim in a standing position.
