HANDGUN captain Dale Hing ended the 2013 shooting programme on a high when he was declared winner of the three-day Industrial Safety Supplies-sponsored year-end pistol championships which ended last weekend at TSU range, Eve Leary.

Hing amassed 658 points to take the top spot despite a final day rally by Dr Johan DaSilva who took top honours in the Action Pistol Shoot on Saturday.
Dr DaSilva finished the day with 250 points followed by Lawrence Layne second with 240 points while Hing placed third with 225 points, vice-captain Gordon Richards was fifth with 206 points while sixth place went to Ryan McKinnon on 203 points.
Hings’s consistency throughout the competition paid off as he recorded a grand aggregate of 658 points with Richards securing the second spot with 602 points while third place went to Dr. DaSilva with 590 points.
McKinnon was fourth with 581 points while Layne was fifth with 571.
Officials of the Guyana National Rifle Association (GNRA) thanked Industrial Safety Supplies for sponsoring the tournament which attracted some of the nation’s top handgun shooters.
The handing-over of prizes will take place shortly and will form part of the GNRA Annual presentation ceremony at a date and time to be confirmed.
