Guyana are defending champions and National Captain Mahendra Persaud will lead his charges into battle confident of not only retaining the Milex Cup, but will also be gunning to re-claim the Short Range Cup when the nations face off tomorrow.
Persaud will be supported by Vice Captain Dylan Fields, Lennox Braithwaite, Ransford Goodluck, Leo Ramalho, Sigmund Douglas, Ryan Sampson and debutant, Sherwin Felicien. John Fraser has been named as standby.
The area of Coaching is handled by the very experienced Persaud, Goodluck, Braithwaite, Fields, Dane Blair and Paul Slowe all combining their expertise for the Guyanese.
The Long Range match will be contested over 900 and 1000 yards, while tomorrow’s Short Range match will see the shooters facing off at the 300, 500 and 600 yards ranges.
Host nation Jamaica, Guyana, Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Trinidad and Tobago, Bermuda and Canada are competing.
