Isle of Man shooter Tim Kneale set a new world record for the double trap event at the Munich World Cup in Germany at the weekend.
The 31-year-old, who won a bronze medal at the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi, recorded a massive score of 148 out of 150 targets.
He said "I can't believe it, a new world record! I must thank everyone who has helped me achieve this."
Kneale will again represent the Island at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.
British Shooting tweeted that Kneale broke the current double trap world record by two targets.
In Delhi he finished third in the same event after a tense shoot-off with Indian pair Ronjan Sodhi and Asher Noria.
The shooter from Jurby said he is looking to improve on his bronze in Glasgow, hopefully by bagging the gold.
