Heena, who had finished 12th in her maiden Olympics in london 2012, failed to recover from a poor start and became the fourth shooter to be eliminated in day two of the competition.
The cut for the eight team finalists was applied at 384 with seven closest to the centre circle which was shot by Sonia Franquet of Spain.
The 2010 Commonwealth Games gold medalist Heena began with a poor 94 in the first series. She improved her scoring by one point to finish with a score of 95 in the second series but only to lie lowly at 26th position.
On Saturday, the duo of Apurvi Chandela and Ayonika Paul failed to qualify in women's 10m air rifle event. It was Jitu Rai who could make the final in 10m air pistol but finished eighth.
