Morris Fisher

Morris "Bud" Fisher, born on 4 May 1890 in Youngstown, Ohio, was an American sport shooter and a United States Marine Corps shooting instructor. He enlisted in the Marine Corps in 1911 and competed while on duty, taking five gold medals in the 300 to 800 metre rifle events at the 1920 and 1924 Summer Olympics. He ended his Olympic career in 1924 because shooting was not part of the 1928 programme and the long-distance rifle events returned only in 1948. Besides his Olympic titles he won six world titles and held five world records. He retired from competition in 1934, coached shooters at the Marine Corps and at the Toledo police department, and retired from military service as a gunnery sergeant in 1941. He was recalled as an instructor during the Second World War, retired for good as a Chief Warrant Officer in 1946 and died in Honolulu in 1968.
