Early American shooters Lones Wigger and Tommy Pool posted scores of 597, a world record, and 593, respectively. Late in the day, Hungary’s László Hammerl equaled Wigger’s world record mark with 597. After the official scores were posted, with a re-read of the targets, Pool’s score was upgraded to 596 and he won the bronze medal for that effort. Wigger and Hammerl also tied with 15 X’s, but Hammerl had a higher score on his last 10-shot string, to win the tie-breaker for the gold medal. Four days later, Wigger would win gold in the small-bore three positions.
