Chaudhary's performance on Monday was better than the 587 he shot in New Delhi's World Cup in March.
"This competition is the best possible start for our final preparations for Tokyo Olympic Games. Some shooters like Apurvi have recovered from Covid-19. With more training, they would do better," said rifle coach Deepali Deshpande.
Abhishek Verma, however, scored a modest 579 in men's 10m air pistol.
In women's 10m air pistol, Yashaswini Singh Deswal and Manu Bhaker shot 572 and 573 respectively.
