Donald McIntosh

Born and brought up in Elgin, Donald started shooting at the age of 12, but was finally hooked on the sport at Edinburgh University in the mid 1980s, where he won the British Universities 3P Championship.

Following many of his fellow EU Alumni club members into International Shooting, he gained his first Scottish "cap" at the 1989 CSF(ED) Championships, is currently the forth most capped Scottish smallbore rifle shooter and was inducted into the Scottish Smallbore Rifle Associations's Hall of Fame in 2007.

Other than a couple of CSF(ED) medals, international success took a little longer to come than Shirley's, but arrived in the form of 3x40 Pairs Gold at both the 1999 and 2001 Commonwealth Championships. Donald also represented Scotland at the 2002 Commonwealth Games, and has represented Great Britain in the Dewar, Wakefield and Roberts matches, and attended a number of World Cup matches in 2002 and 2003.

Donald retired from International shooting in 2003, and is now holds an ISSF 'B' coaching license, working with the both Scottish and British International squads and has attended Commonwealth Championships and Games with Scotland, World Cups, European & World Championships with Great Britain. He also coached the British team in the 2005 Pershing Match. He completed a Master's Degree in Performance Psychology in 2004, and continues to represent Scotland in Home Countries matches.
