Shooting
Seventeen shooters represented France in 1920. It was the nation's fifth appearance in the sport; France was one of three nations (along with Denmark and Great Britain) to have competed at each Olympic shooting contest to that point. France took a single medal: Johnson's silver in the 300 metre military rifle prone position.

Famous quotes containing the word shooting:
“After a shooting spree, they always want to take the guns away from the people who didnt do it. I sure as hell wouldnt want to live in a society where the only people allowed guns are the police and the military.”
—William Burroughs (b. 1914)
“Her eyes the glow-worm lend thee,
The shooting stars attend thee;”
—Robert Herrick (15911674)
“Writing or printing is like shooting with a rifle; you may hit your readers mind, or miss it;Mbut talking is like playing at a mark with the pipe of an engine; if it is within reach, and you have time enough, you cant help hitting it.”
—Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (18091894)
