Amber’s three rounds of 24 totalled 72ex-75 to secure a place in the top six where she hit 12 and narrowly beat China’s Meng Wei into the bronze-medal match against her compatriot Ning Wei.
After 16 more targets in the final, Amber once again tied with a Chinese shooter and had to endure another 18 targets of sudden death before finally fending off her foe.
