In the individual events, Hamilton placed fifth in the open 50 metres free pistol, 10th in the open 10 metres air pistol, and 16th in the open 25 metres centre-fire pistol. Four years later, at the 1986 Commonwealth Games in Edinburgh, Hamilton teamed up with Barry O'Neale to win the bronze medal in the open 25 metres centre-fire pistol pairs, and Greg Yelavich in the open 50 metres free pistol pairs, finishing fifth. Hamilton placed fourth in both the open 25 metres centre-fire pistol and 50 metres free pistol individual events. Hamilton was born on 6 October 1928, and worked as a carpenter. He died in Hamilton on 30 December 2010, and his ashes were buried in Taruheru Cemetery, Gisborne. References
