Angus began his shooting career with school target rifle in Edinburgh, going on to shoot for Scotland and tour with the Athelings and NRA Channel Islands teams. On joining the Army he switched to service weapons events, winning HM Queen’s Medal in 1990, as well as shooting on numerous GB Service Rifle teams and touring with Army teams to Australia, Canada and the US. He switched back to TR events in the mid-‘90s, shooting for the Army and Scotland with further overseas representation in the US, Canada, South Africa and the 2010 Commonwealth Games in New Delhi, where he won a Silver Medal along with his teammate Ian Shaw in the full-bore Pairs event.

As someone who has always been interested in the technology of the sport, Angus took up Match Rifle in the 2000s and has notched up 2 Hopton wins since. He has also regularly represented Scotland in the Elcho and shot for GB in the Woomera Match.

Angus left the Army in 2013 after 28 years’ service as an Infantry Officer and now works as an ‘Experimental’ Engineer for QinetiQ Land Systems in Farnborough. Non-ballistic down time is spent trying to gain altitude by running, cycling or flying.
