Commonwealth Games
Shooting has historically been a highly successful sport for England at the Commonwealth Games, with England placed third in the all-time medal table for Shooting at the Commonwealth Games - after India and Australia. Shooting has been contested at every Games since Kingston in 1966, with the exception of Edinburgh in 1970 and Birmingham in 2022.[5]
At the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, England shooter Michael Gault won his eighteenth medal - matching the record for most-medalled Commonwealth athlete in any sport. The record was jointly held with Australian shooter Phillip Adams.[6][7][8]
