The ultimate responsibility for who is able to represent England at the Commonwealth Games for all sports lays with Commonwealth Games England (CGE) who need to be satisfied that anyone selected has realistic potential of winning a medal. CGE seek a recommendation for who is selected for all shooting disciplines represented at the games from the English Target Shooting Federation (ETSF). The ETSF in turn seek a recommendation for the 2 individuals chosen for the full bore events from The English Twenty Club.
