Emergency services were called to Warral Road in West Tamworth at 3am on Sunday and found the victim injured.
He was taken to a local hospital in a stable condition as detectives set up a crime scene.
About seven hours later, a 53-year-old man was arrested leaving a home on the same road, police said.
Police charged the man on Sunday night with two offences - shoot at with intent to murder and possess shortened firearm (not pistol) without authority.
He was refused bail and is set to appear at Tamworth Local Court on Monday.
