It's hard to compete with a million rupees. That's the value of success for India's professional shooters after they outgunned the Australians on the medals table for the first time.
India, their shooters inspired by the promise of one million rupees ($44,300) for each gold medal, ended the competition with 14 gold, seven silver and three bronze.
Every member of the team is a professional, sponsored by the country's largest corporations to do nothing but shoot.
