Goodluck on song ahead of regional c/ship as shooters face cash crunch

Apr 27, 2011 Sports

Ransford Goodluck won the final warm up shoot ahead of Guyana’s participation in the West Indies Fullbore championship which will fire off next week in Antigua/Barbuda.
Goodluck, who is the reigning Caribbean individual champion, dropped just one point in recording 119 points with 13 V-bulls in competition at the 300, 500 and 600 yards ranges in last Sunday’s Recorded shoot held  at the Timehri rifle ranges.
He shot 49 points with 6 V-bulls at the 300 yards and two possibles (the maximum 35 points) at 500 and 600 yards with 5 V-bulls at 500 and 2 at 600 yards.
Former national champion Lennox Braithwaite was also impressive in claiming the second position with 114 points with 7 v-Bulls edging out Fullbore captain Mahendra Persaud who also had 114 points with 5 V-bulls.
Vice Captain Dylan Fields was fourth with 109:4 while Claude Duguid placed fifth with 107:4.
In ‘O’ Class, Peter Persaud with 109 points and four V-bulls edged out Lt. Col. Terry Stuart who recorded 107:6. Meanwhile, Captain Mahendra Persaud said that the team is still short of funds to make the trip to Antigua/Barbuda.
According to Persaud, the team needs a further $800,000 the Guyana National Rifle Association is making a final push to acquire the funds.
Persaud said should there be a shortfall in funds the GNRA may be forced to leave out one or two shooters with the expectation that the US-based Guyanese shooters fill in to make up the eight-man team to shoot the regional team competition.
Guyana is the reigning short range champion and will be going for a fifth successive short range title.
