GUYANA copped the 2017 Milex/Crown Mining Long range title by outclassing the competition at the Timheri Rifle Ranges yesterday.
The team amassed 712 points and 31 V Bulls to take the top accolade with Captain Mahendra Persaud marking 95 with 5 V’s as the top shooter in the class.
Leo Romalho (92, 5V’s) was also a top contributor to the side, with newcomer Roberto Tiwari shooting 4 V Bulls in his score of 92.
Other members of the Guyana team were Sherwin Felicien, Peter Persaud, Vice Captain Dylan Fields, Ransford Goodluck and Lennox Brathwaithe.
Second place was picked up by Barbados who lost by 5 V’s after also scoring 712, but with only 27 V’s.
Jason Wood, Lancelot Trotman and Marlon King each shot in the 93’s but the Bajan team could not score as many V’s.
Third place went to Ireland with fourth place going to England.
Meanwhile, the Guyana NRA 150th anniversary Shoot was won by David Calvert who closed off the shoot at 198 and 18 V’s.
Local ace Ransford Goodluck was good enough for second with two points and 6Vs short but will still share the spotlight. Today will feature the WIFBSC short range championship which begins at 09:00hrs
