South Korea clinched another shooting gold at the Asian Games on Wednesday, this time in the men's 25-meter rapid fire pistol.

The trio of Jang Dae-kyu, Kim Jun-hong and Song Jong-ho combined for 1,747 points for gold at Ongnyeon International Shooting Range in South Korea's western port city of Incheon. The golden victory came minutes after the female squad claimed the top podium finish in the 50ｍ rifle prone.

China's Li Yuehong, Hu Haozhe and Zhang Jian won silver with
1,746 points, followed by Vietnam with 1,704 points.

In the team component, the combined scores of three shooters for each country in the individual qualification round determine the medalists.

This second gold of the day brought the total number of the medals South Korea has earned from the shooting range at the ongoing Asiad to 12.

The individual final in this distance slated for later in the day will be a rival match between South Korea and China. The three shooters from each country claimed all six spots in the final.  (Yonhap)
