Former Caribbean shooting champion Ransford Goodluck fired his way to victory in the second recorded shoot as the National rifle shooting squad continued preparation for the regional championship in October last Sunday.
The Timehri Full Bore Rifle Range proved to be its usual self with dauntingly hot weather conditions combined with challenging winds severely challenging the shooters skills.
The experienced Goodluck dropped only four points, but the low v bull scores even by this veteran shooter was indicative of the severity of the conditions experienced by all.
He recorded 131 points with 4 Vs out of a possible 135 with 17 v bulls at 300, 600 and 900 yards ranges.
Lennox Braithwaite placed second with127 points with three V bulls with last week’s winner Dylan Fields taking third position with 120 with 3 Vs.
Four shooters – Richard Fields, Dane Blair, Charles Dean and Everard Nelson, did not complete the shoot for various reasons.
Full Bore Captain Mahendra Persaud and Paul Slowe both missed Sunday’s shoot due to overseas duties, while Lt Col Terrence Stuart did not shoot.
Meanwhile, the Guyana National Rifle Association (GNRA) is appealing for the corporate sector and government support in hosting the championships in October at the Timehri ranges.
Guyana are the reigning Long range champions and will be seeking to regain the short range title the lost last year in Antigua and Barbuda.
