About Neville Holt

Lived 1912 – 2008 (aged 95). Neville Holt was an Australian athlete and sport shooter.

Neville Holt (9 March 1912 – 6 February 2008) was an Australian sports shooter. His father introduced him to the sport, and before World War II he joined the Australian Militia, from which he borrowed guns to practise; he never served in the war. He competed in the 50 m rifle event at the 1948 Summer Olympics, where he came 47th; despite primarily being a full-bore shooter, he competed in a small-bore event.

He worked as an electrician in Sydney, where he died on 6 February 2008.
