Eastern region (red)

The Eastern regional qualification groups were held in Belgrade on 30 and 31 May. Russia, Serbia, Croatia and Bulgaria had entered teams in both events, Bosnia and Herzegovina only in air rifle, and Romania only in air pistol. Thus, no teams had to be eliminated prior to the qualification stage. Romania and Bulgaria withdrew before the qualification stage.

Serbia and Croatia advanced in air rifle, while the Russians won both their air pistol matches 3–0 and advanced together with Serbia.

Finals

edit

The finals were held in Helsingør, Denmark, on 3–4 October. They were originally scheduled for Copenhagen but had to be moved because of weapon regulations surrounding the 13th Olympic Congress, held simultaneously in the capital.

The top two teams from each region qualified for the finals, where they were divided into two groups of three teams each. Round-robins were held in these groups on Saturday. The next day, the group runners-up faced each other for the bronze medals, and the group winners competed for the gold medals.
