from the Arab World
— "from an Arab country"?- Why is the fourth-round "43" struck out in the table?
- It meant the result did not count towards his final position MWright96 (talk) 10:11, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
- Why didn't it count? Probably worth mentioning in the paragraph above. --Usernameunique (talk) 17:27, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

Shooting
- How did the quota spots work?
a four-way shoot-out
— Was this required because only the top seven were to advance?- The top six were allowed to advance to the final MWright96 (talk) 10:11, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
- So he tied for sixth; lost the shoot-out; and ended up placing seventh? From the way it is worded ("he took part in the qualifying round of the men's double trap, placing seventh... Ahmad Al-Makotum subsequently lost a four-way shoot-out"). If he indeed tied for sixth, perhaps something like "he took part in the qualifying round of the men's double trap, tying for sixth... Ahmad Al-Makotum subsequently lost a four-way shoot-out... Ultimately he was ranked seventh." --Usernameunique (talk) 17:33, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

Saeed Al Maktoum
— Any relation to Ahmad Al Maktoum? Looks like they're cousins.- Yes but am not able to find a specific source that states all of this. MWright96 (talk) 10:11, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
- Source 27 says the shooters are cousins. --Usernameunique (talk) 17:33, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

Shaikka Maitha Al Maktoum
— Any relation to the shooters?- See response to the third point in the shooting section. MWright96 (talk) 10:11, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
- Source 41 says she's a cousin of Saeed Al Maktoum. That means she's a cousin of Ahmad Al Maktoum as well, which this article confirms. --Usernameunique (talk) 17:37, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
