Results edit
A maximum of three competitors per nation were allowed.
The competition was held over 15 series of two shots, so every shooter had 30 shots. The maximum score was 300. The shot-off was again a compete series. No ties were shot-off after the first three places.
Antal Barát-Lemberkovits missed one shot when he fired on the target of Gustavo Huet. This ten rings would have given him the gold medal.
After the original competition Bertil Rönnmark gave the rest of his rounds of ammunition to other marksmen not thinking about the possibility of a shoot-off. So he had to borrow the rounds for the final shoot-off to win the gold medal.
Zoltán Soós-Ruszka Hradetzky set the best performance in the bronze medal shoot-off with 296 points, but, according to the IOC's report, the Olympic record was credited to Bertil Rönnmark and Gustavo Huet for their 294 points in the final.[2]
