On a very challenging day which brought with it switching winds on multiple occasions during the 900 and 1000 yards shoot, the Guyanese Pair of Lennox Braithwaite and Ransford Goodluck managed to hold their own and hold on to the 11th position when the Commonwealth Games Fullbore Championships – Queen’s Prize Pairs Finals concluded, yesterday at the Belmont Full Bore Range.
Such was the challenge on the final day that neither of the shooters, which include the best marksmen in the world, was able to secure a possible; just two persons shot a 74.
Guyana’s final total after the final two ranges were shot was 563:48 which was also the best Caribbean score, the Guyanese pair finishing just ahead of the Falkland Islands which ended on 547:34 for 12th.
Jamaica was 13th (530:18) followed by Barbados (524:25), Antigua and Barbuda 524:23 and Trinidad and Tobago 500:20 in 16th place.
The gold medal was taken by the English pair of Parag Patel and David Luckman (584:61) with silver going to Chris Watson and Gareth Morris of Wales (582:58) and bronze to Scotland’s Alexander Walter and Ian Shaw (582:49).
South Africa placed 4th (581:53), New Zealand 5th (581:50), Australia 6th (580:54), Northern Ireland 7th (579:49), Canada 8th (579:47), Guernsey 9th (575:45), Jersey 10th (572:36).
