Jul 29, 2015 Sports

Azad Hassan and Vyvian Crandon were declared winners in the senior and junior divisions when the Guyana National Rifle Association (GNRA) smallbore section ran off a .22 Precision Pistol shooting competition over the weekend at the Tactical Services Unit (TSU) ranges.
Hassan recorded 180 points to win the senior category beating into second position Surujballi Persaud who amassed 175 points while third place went to Joshua Ramlakhan who recorded 171points.
Crandon amassed 184points to triumph in the junior division. In second spot was Devindra Persaud with 180 points, while Sean Austin was third on171points.
The seniors shot from the 10 and 12.5 meters distances while juniors shot from five and 10 meter distances.
Handgun captain Dale Hing who supervised the competition stated that Precision Pistol shooting has always been the foundation for marksmen and women to develop.  He said whether they continue in that category or move on to other fast paced shooting disciplines like practical pistol and action pistol shooting their foundation will remain strong.
“With this foundation and the basic marksmanship and safety principles combined with practice, discipline and the right attitude a shooter’s performance will improve,” Hing added.
Meanwhile, the next Practical Shoot will be the annual Modern Optical Cup team competition set for the end of August at the Timehri ranges.
The competition will attract teams from the Guyana Police Force, Guyana Defence Force, Presidential Guards, Bank of Guyana Security and the Guyana NRA.
