the Timehri Rifle Ranges, Yarrowkabra, Linden Soesdyke Highway.
Shooting in the Limited Division which required the use of 9mm or higher caliber pistols, Mc Kinnon once again ruled the roost with a score of 56.75 to take the top prize. Occupying second place was GSSF President Ms. Vidushi Persaud with a score of 72.53 while third place went to Shawn Smith (79.43).
Copping the special trophy for the Highest Law Enforcement competitors was Naresh Samuels with a score of 192.48.
Shooting commenced on the Roundabout stage, followed by Showdown, and finally the most
popular Smoke & Hope stage which consisted of the largest targets thereby allowing the shooters to really exercise their trigger fingers in the fastest display of the day.
In every stage competitors were required to shoot five different steel targets set out at various
angles and distances, one of which is designated as a “stop plate” which is shot last. Registering a hit on the plate stops the time.
The total time it takes to hit all five plates is used for the score (Your time is your score.) Misses and penalties add 3 seconds to the time for each. Scoring is done using a digital timer which records times according to shots fired.
The competitor’s best four scores out of five strings of fire on each stage were then added together for collective score. The lowest total time/score for all stages wins the overall match, in the case of Mc Kinnon and Samuels.
Match Director, Mr. Peter Hugh presented the awardees with their Trophies. The federation is extending gratitude to Mrs. Dawn Oditt of Jus Waters Inc. for sponsoring the exciting event. Appreciation was also extended to Chief of Staff of the GDF, Brigadier Phillips, Colonel Doodnauth, GPF Commissioner Persaud, Asst. Commissioner Ramnarine, Commander Hicken and OC TSU Superintendent Dehnert and the ranks of TSU.
