Angus McLeod

Angus began his shooting career with Target Rifle whilst at school in Edinburgh, going on to shoot for Scotland, Athelings and NRA Channel Islands Teams. On joining the Army he switched to service weapons events, winning HM Queens Medal in 1990, with outings with the GB Service Rifle Team and touring with Army Teams to Australia, Canada and the US.

He returned to the Target Rifle discipline in the mid-90s shooting for the Army and Scotland, with overseas representation in the US, Canada, South Africa and the 2010 and 2014 Commonwealth Games Teams, GB touring team to Canada and the US in 2014 and the GB Palma Team in 2015.

Having always been interested in the science behind the sport, he took up Match Rifle sometime in the 2000s representing Scotland in the Elcho and GB in the Woomera Match versus Australia, and very recently toured with the GB Match Rifle Team to Tasmania in February and March this year.

He left the Army in 2013 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.
