Although America’s Fred Hird won the gold medal with 194 points, the next five positions and six of the top ten were taken by British shooters. Hird won three Olympic shooting medals in 1912, the individual gold in this event and bronze medals in the two team small-bore events. He competed in Olympic shooting in 1920 as well, but did not fare as well.
