West Indies Fullbore Rifle Shooting C/ships Individuals – Day 3…Rain curtails rivalry, 3 ranges to be contested on today’s final day
By Franklin Wilson in Barbados……
Heavy mid afternoon showers ensured that the 900 Yards Range was not a possibility on the penultimate day of action at the 2013 edition of the West Indies Fullbore Rifle Shooting Championships being held at the Paragon Ranges, Christ Church, Barbados.
Guyana shot with Trinidad and Tobago, Jamaica, Antigua & Barbuda and the Channel Islands and the only range that the elements above allowed them to shoot was the 500 Yards Range

and even that range was disrupted for about 30 minutes.
Given the fact that the ranges were complete for the day, no scores were available. Based on reports from the Guyanese shooters, defending reigning Individual Champion Lennox Braithwaite dropped one point at the 500 Yards Range recording a score of 49 Points with 6 V-Bulls.
Ransford Goodluck recorded 48-2, while Dylan Fields and Peter Persaud had similar scores of 47-2.
At the end of the second day of rivalry, the Great Britain shooters were, as expected, large and in charge of proceedings with Braithwaite in charge of proceedings from a Caribbean perspective and well on the way to retaining his title as the King of Individual shooting.
However, it is not over as yet, today’s final day will of course be the defining moment for all. But what is sure according to the experienced shots, the Long Range (900 & 1000 Yards) will separate the men from the boys.
It is anticipated that the day, which will start at 08:00hrs to make up back time that was lost yesterday, will start with the 900 Yards move to 600 Yards then to the 1000 Yards.
