- For the team running deer, single shots the IOC medal database lists also Hans Nordvik and Oluf Wesmann-Kjær as gold medalists for Norway; and Karl Richter and Karl-Gustaf Svensson as silver medalists for Sweden, but all these shooters never participated in this competition.
- For the team running deer, double shots the IOC medal database lists also John Faunthorpe and John O'Leary as gold medalists for Great Britain; Hans Nordvik and Oluf Wesmann-Kjær as silver medalists for Norway; and Edward Benedicks and Karl-Gustaf Svensson as bronze medalists for Sweden, but all these shooters never participated in this competition.
