Goodluck retains title on hard fought final day of GNRA shooting championships
Ransford Goodluck retained his title on a hard fought final day of competition at the Guyana National Rifle Association (GNRA) Fullbore Shooting championships, sponsored by Crown Mining, Queensway and Industrial Safety Supplies Inc. which ended Sunday at the Timehri ranges.

Goodluck amassed a grand aggregate of 343 points with 29 V-bulls to claim championship honours edging out day three winner, National Captain Mahendra Persaud, who recorded an overall 341 with 24 V-bulls for second position.
Rain had curtailed competition on Saturday in which Lennox Braithwaite shot two possibles with scores of 35.7 and 35. 3 shooting at 500 and 600 yards ranges, followed by Goodluck with 69.11 (34.6 and 35.3), Persaud with 68.7 (33.4 and 35.3) and Dylan Fields 68.5 (35.3 and 33.2) being the ‘X’ Class leaders.
Sunday’s shooting was intriguing with Goodluck, Fields and Braithwaite all locked on the same score at 1000 yards but Persaud in a pugnacious move bounced back into contention by winning the range with 144 points and nine V-bulls.
He was followed by Goodluck with 142.9, Fields 138.9 and Braithwaite 134.9.
Fields finished with an overall aggregate of 338.22 to claim third position, while Braithwaite was fourth with 332.29.
Lt. Col Terrence Stuart was the winner of the ‘O’ Class competition with 309 points and 14 V-bulls followed by Inspector Dane Blair finishing second with 277 points and 12 V-bulls and Sherwin Felicien third with 299.4.
Ryan Sampson, Secretary of the GNRA said the presentation of prizes will take place next month at the planned GNRA Annual Presentation Ceremony.
He expressed sincere gratitude to Crown Mining, Queensway and Industrial Safety Supplies Inc. for sponsoring this year’s championships.
