OA Jonathan Hammond (88-94) is celebrating success on the rifle range at the Commonwealth Games in Delhi.  Jonathan has won gold in the Mens' 50m Rifle Prone (defeating the current World Champion) and gold in the Mens' 50m Rifle Prone Pairs.   He has also won a silver medal in the Mens' 50m Rifle 3 Positions and a bronze medal in the Mens' 50m Rifle 3 Positions Pairs. Jonathan started shooting at Ardvreck at the age of 9 under the tutelage of Tim Verlander who has been the shooting coach at Ardvreck since 1986.  In 1988 Jonathan became the World Junior (U21) Champion at the age of just 17. In 2008, he represented Great Britain in the Olympic Games in Beijing. Tim Verlander continues to inspire and coach young Ardvreckians on the school's indoor shooting range.
