The Fullbore marksman, who finished fourth in the just concluded National Senior Rifle Shooting Championships, racked up 293 points in the .22 Precision Pistol event last weekend at the TSUR and will start the second stage with a six-point advantage over experienced hand gunner Hemant Narine, who recorded 287 points in a fiercely fought first round of competition.
Female shooter Vidushi Persaud is holding down the third position on 277 points. The shooters will now focus their attention on the Practical Pistol Shoot set for the Timehri Ranges tomorrow firing off at 09:00hrs.
The third and final leg of the competition is set for December 7 and will be the Action Pistol contest back at the TSUR, Eve Leary.
The presentation of prizes for the Handgun and Fullbore Championships will be held during the GNRA Annual Presentation Ceremony to be held during December at a date and venue to be confirmed.
