Denmark earned its first medal in the men's 300 metre team free rifle with bronze.

Ole Sæther had been a member of Norway's two prior teams as well, so became the first man with three medals in the event.

He had been the only man with multiple medals; five others (Albert Helgerud, Gudbrand Skatteboe, Einar Liberg, and Olaf Sæther of Norway and Gustaf Adolf Jonsson of Sweden) each earned their second in 1912.

This was the third appearance of the men's 300 metre team rifle event, which was held 4 times between 1900 and 1920.

Denmark, France, and Norway each made their third appearance, having competed in each edition of the event to date.
