He was a soldier, competed in CISM (military Olympic style) matches during his prime, and set some world records. The difference between CISM and ISSF (Olympics) matches is that CISM matches are fired with centerfire guns, wheras Olympics have slowly watered down to .22 rimfire and. 177 air guns since the 80s
