Malcolm Douglas Cooper, MBE, (20 December 1947 – 9 June 2001) was a British sport shooter and founder of Accuracy International.

He also shot and practised at HMS Collingwood, a naval training establishment at Fareham in Hampshire, alongside Andy (Dusty) Miller, the 1968 Far East Services small-bore individual champion.

[1][2] Having won most of his matches in 1980, the 1980 Summer Olympics boycott prevented Cooper from competing in Moscow, where he was a favourite to win a medal.

[citation needed] Cooper represented England at four Commonwealth Games between 1974 and 1990, winning twelve medals: four gold, five silver, and three bronze.

[6][7][8][9][10] Cooper was born in 1947 in Camberley and learned to shoot whilst attending the Royal Hospital School[11] at Holbrook in Suffolk, UK before his family moved to New Zealand where he attended Westlake Boys High School and learned the art of shooting small bore rifles.
