The men’s division was heavily contested but Umasankar Madray emerged victorious, while Jeewanram Persaud finished second to take the silver medal and Fabian Ramdatt came in third to cop the bronze medal.
For the Barebow men’s competition, Persaud bettered his earlier performance to secure gold ahead of Nicholas Hing who was second and bronze medalist Sean Duncan.
The competition was successfully conducted under supervision of the Director of Shooting, Ryan McKinnon and the competition’s committee, along with the Chair of the Judges that included Robert Singh and his team of nationally certified judges.

The annual tournament that was sponsored by Seven Seas had their archers fully hydrated, compliments of Oasis Water.
Seven Seas, the major sponsor, has been around for generations becoming a household name over half a century ago. Its products are the culmination of a continuous, rigorous, and intense research and development processes resulting in formulations that are known for their excellent quality and high standards.
Seven Seas products help families live their #TRUE AGE through their range of products built on the science of OMEGA-3. In this regard, the branded masks and special packages presented to the respective winners were deeply appreciated by Archery Guyana.
Also made available to participants and spectators at the event was Guyana Beverages Inc’s new Sports Drink, Altitude, which contains sodium, potassium and magnesium and comes in 3 flavours – Fruit Punch, Grape and Blue Frost. This product offered the participants the ability to replace electrolytes lost through sweat.
Archery Guyana wishes to express their gratitude to the Management of Massy Distribution (Guyana) Inc. and all the other partners who played a crucial role to assist in the successful staging of the event.
Meanwhile, as the association focuses on the development of the sport, their next competition scheduled is the Outdoor Championships which is set for Sunday, March 6, at the Guyana National Stadium, Providence.
