The Guyana National Rifle Association staged a 3 stage practical pistol shooting competition last Sunday and the event was sponsored by North American Resources In. Ltd, for its second year running.
Considered by all the competitors as very exciting and challenging when compared with previous practical pistol events staged by the Association, Dr. Johan DaSilva, dominated the event’s A Class shooters, while Captain Rawle Stephens came first in the B Class, James Singh won the C Class and Ms. Vidushi Persaud taking the top
spot in the D Class.
DaSilva proved his “Eye of the Tiger” accuracy, by shooting his way to first place in all three stages. In a remarkable display of speed and accuracy DaSilva took charge of the event from Stage 1; winning the all steel stage in front of David Dharry and Ian Rogers third.
Stage 2 saw the shooters starting seated behind a desk, with a computer in front of them and their fingers on a keyboard to get up into a shooting position and hit the target. DaSilva again came out on top in front of Handgun Captain Ryan McKinnon second and David Dharry third.
In Stage 3, another all steel challenge, DaSilva again fired his way to first place ahead of Lawrence Lain second and David Dharry who came in third.
Ryan McKinnon, in opening remarks stated that the event was the first ever event for the GNRA to be run under the newly adopted, I.P.S.C. Guyana Rules and Regulations, which will serve to govern future practical pistol matches in keeping with Regional and International standards.
In closing he thanked Ray Beharry and the management of NARIL who kindly donated the steel falling plates.
Mr. Ray Beharry on behalf of NARIL expressed the company’s willingness to continue to make the event an annual one, especially seeing that everyone enjoyed this year’s event and deemed the competition a success.
Several beautiful trophies were handed out by NARIL staff to the outstanding performers.
Overall scores and positions gained for these prizes are as follows:
A Class – 1st Place Johan DaSilva 200.00 points, 2nd Place David Dharry 157.32 points, 3rd Place Lawrence Lain 152.97 points.
