GNRA National Championships…
CAPTAIN of the Guyana National Rifle Association (GNRA) Fullbore Section, Dylan Fields is holding a slim lead after one day of competition in this year’s edition of the national championships taking place at the Timehri Rifle Ranges.
Set to continue on Sunday and end next Sunday, Fields is just three points ahead of Sherwin Felicien and veteran Lennox Braithwaite, the latter two separated by v-bulls. Following the opening day of action which saw the riflemen and lone female competing at the 300-, 500- and 600-yards ranges, Felicien and Peter Persaud were the other two shooters to record possibles.
Both accomplished it at 500 yards, 35.1 and 35.3, respectively. The lone female, Kay-Ann Ghanie is competing in the junior class.
On Sunday November 23rd, competition will be at the 500 yards (two sighting shots and 10 rounds), 600 yards (two sighting shots and seven rounds) and 900 yards (two sighting shots and 10 rounds). The championship will end on Sunday November 30.
This competition has effectively commenced the nation’s preparations for the 2026 edition of the West Indies Fullbore Shooting Championships which will be hosted in Antigua & Barbuda from April 25 to May 1.
Additionally, a 20-member English Rifle Team will be visiting one week before the West Indies Championships to compete against the Guyanese.
