PETER Persaud returned to the winners’ circle of the Guyana National Rifle Association (GuyanaNRA) following last weekend’s Record shoot.

The Fullbore shooters continued to do battle with the elements at the Timehri Rifle Ranges and Persaud returned a score of 81.5.

He returned to the winning row, having won the season’s opening Record Shoot.
Persaud shot 34.2 at the 300 yards and 47.3 at the 600 yards. Sherwin Felicien was close by with 79.6, shooting 32.2 at 300 yards and 47.4 at 600 yards.

Veteran shooter Leo Romalho was third with 78.5. Having won the 300 yards with 34.4 he was unable to hold the lead on the 600 yards range, shooting 44.1 out of 50.
The 600 yards proved to be very challenging as only two shooters were over the 45-point score line.

Other scores were as follows: Ransford Goodluck 78.1, Dylan Fields 76.1, Lennox Braithwaite 75.5, Dane Blair 70.1 and Lt. Col Terrence Stuart 60.2.
The Timehri Ranges is presenting varying conditions each week, which the sharpshooters are trying to overcome.

However, this makes the shooting more challenging and interesting for them.
These conditions will certainly work well for the shooters who will be attending the international shoots in a few months.

This weekend the sharpshooters will compete for the Spoon Shoot prize.
