Guyanese marksmen turned in a sterling performance led by the indefatigable Ransford Goodluck who owned the Individual X-Class to ensure that the title stays in Guyana as 2017 champion Mahendra Persaud was not able to defend his title due to him still recovering from illness.
Goodluck’s performance which saw him dominating from the first day to the end of the 3-day championship, tallying a commanding 390 points and 27Vs after 9 competitive ranges, brought the curtains down of the 2018 edition of the West Indies Fullbore Shooting Championships Individual competition yesterday afternoon at the Paragon Ranges here in the Land of the ‘Flying Fish’, Barbados.
Lennox Braithwaite (379.26) ensured a Guyanese one/two finish by taking the 2nd place, while countryman Leo Romalho ended 5th, Fullbore Captain Dylan Fields 10th, Sherwin Felicien 11th and Roberto Tiwari 18th of 22 shooters in the marquee, X-Class battle.
In the O-Class, Peter Persaud had to settle for the 2nd place with 355 points and 16Vs behind Jamaica’s Karen Anderson who shot her way to the top position in this class with a total of 370 points and 19Vs.
The Guyanese USA based duo of Sigmond Douglas and John Fraser ended 5th and 8th, while Ryan Sampson, Dane Blair, Terrance Stuart and Paul Slowe placed 10th, 15th, 19th and 20th of 27 shooters.

Jamaica dominated the top three spots in the T (Tyro or First Timers) category. Goodluck, commenting on the win which was his first in eight years said he finally has found back the form that he knows he is capable of. He is dedicating the win to his main motivator, Mahendra Persaud whom he has credited for the role he has and continues to play in him still being in the sport.
