He represented Scotland at the Commonwealth Games in 1974 where he won a bronze medal in the 50m Rifle Prone event; in 1978 where he won a gold medal in the 50m Rifle Prone event; in 1982 where he won gold medals in the 10m Air Rifle Pairs and 50m Rifle Three Positions events and a bronze medal in the 50m Rifle Three Positions Pairs event; in 1986 where he won silver medals in the 50m Rifle Three Positions and 50m Rifle Prone events and a bronze medal in the Smallbore 50m Rifle Three Positions Pairs event; and in 1994 where he won a silver medal in the 50m Rifle Three Positions Pairs event and a bronze medal in the 50m Rifle Three Positions event.[3]

He was made MBE in 1989 and inducted into the Scottish Sports Hall of Fame in 2002.[4][2]
