He was treated at the scene and taken to hospital in a serious but stable condition, with police establishing a crime scene and beginning an investigation.
That led to the arrest of a 23-year-old man at a Thurgoona home around 2.45pm on Sunday.
His injuries are not considered life-threatening, police said on Monday.
Investigators were combing the home and searching the surrounding area on Monday morning, including a specialist search and rescue team looking on the roof of the nearby TAFE for a weapon.
The 23-year-old man is due in court today after he was charged with shooting with intent to murder, discharging a firearm with intent to cause grievous bodily harm, using an unregistered prohibited firearm and possession charges for having an unregistered prohibited firearm and having a loaded firearm endanger life in a non-public place.
He was refused bail.
Anyone with information that may assist investigators is urged to contact Albury Police or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
