At the 2006 Commonwealth Games, he won the individual 25 metre rapid fire pistol competition as well as the pairs competition in the same event together with Pemba Tamang. The same year, he won a bronze medal in the Asian Games despite actually finishing fourth because of a rule that prevented China from winning all three medals. [1] The next year, he finished second at the Asian Championship in 25 metre center-fire pistol.
