Eight years after competing in his first Olympics, Moore qualified for his third Australian team, as a 54-year-old, at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, by placing second in the men's free pistol from the 2007 Oceania Shooting Championships, coincidentally in his home city Sydney. He scored a total of 571 targets in the preliminary rounds of the men's 10 m air pistol, by one point ahead of Trinidad and Tobago's Roger Daniel from the final attempt, finishing only in thirty-sixth place.{{cite web|title=Men's 10m Air Pistol Qualification |url=http://www.2008.nbcolympics.com/shooting/resultsandschedules/rsc=SHM203901/index.html |publisher=NBC Olympics |accessdate=29 January 2013 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120816053200/http://www.2008.nbcolympics.com/shooting/resultsandschedules/rsc%3DSHM203901/index.html |archivedate=16 August 2012 |df=dmy }} Three days later, Moore placed thirty-fifth in his second event, 50 m pistol, by one point behind French sport shooter and five-time Olympian Franck Dumoulin, with a total score of 546 targets.{{cite web|title=Men's 50m Pistol Qualification |url=http://www.2008.nbcolympics.com/shooting/resultsandschedules/rsc=SHM201901/index.html |publisher=NBC Olympics |accessdate=29 January 2013 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120816054005/http://www.2008.nbcolympics.com/shooting/resultsandschedules/rsc%3DSHM201901/index.html |archivedate=16 August 2012 }}
