The US region received 25 slots on the first distribution of slots for the 2024 Rifle World Shoot. An 8 person committee consisting of Leighton Oosthuisen, Jake Martens, Becky Yackley, Jeremy Gresham, Adam Maxwell, Josh Froelich, Reuben Aleckson, and Yee-min Lin was formed to determine slot allocation, with precedence given to division and category teams and the first alternates for those teams. After the initial down-select meeting, a blind ranked choice vote was taken by each committee member, with the weighted average of votes used to determine the final team and alternate selections.
