Modern Optical of Middle Street, Cummingsburg will sponsor Sunday’s Inter Services Pistol shooting championship billed for the Timehri ranges.
The team event organized by the Smallbore (handgun) Section of the Guyana National Rifle Association (GNRA) will feature some of the top handgun shooters locally.
The competing teams are Guyana Police Force, Guyana Defence Force, Bank of Guyana Security, Presidential Guards, US Embassy Regiment Security and GNRA handgun shooters.
Smallbore captain Joseph Chin disclosed that over 40 shooters will participate in the one-day tournament that will be run under International Practical Shooters Confederation (IPSC) rules.
