A shoot off was held, in the shoot off 1970 world champion, Konrad Wirnhier of West Germany hit all 25 birds to claim the gold. Earlier in the competition co-world record holder Yury Tsuranov of the Soviet Union disagreed with a ruling on a lost bird, and walked off the field. For his actions he penalized three birds. This brought his score down to 192, exactly three birds short for the shoot off for the gold medal.^[1]
