Shooting at the 1908 Summer Olympics – Men's 1000 yard free rifle
Sports shooting at the Olympics
The men's free rifle at 1000 yards was one of 15 events on the Shooting at the 1908 Summer Olympics programme. Each shooter fired 20 shots with a rifle at the target 1,000 yards away (914 m; 0.57 mile). A bulls-eye was worth 5 points, so the maximum possible score was 100.[1] Each nation could enter up to 12 shooters.[2]
