Shooting
Six sport shooters represented Canada in 1924. It was the nation's fourth appearance in the sport. The six-man clay pigeon teams finished second to earn Canada's first medal in shooting since 1908. The three members of the team who competed in the individual trap all finished in the top six, with Montgomery finishing outside the medals only because of a tie-breaker.

“I’ll tell you one thing. If a little green man pops out at me I’m shooting first and asking questions later.”
