Guyana’s marksman, Lennox Braithwaite turned in creditable performance to accumulate 200 points with 16 V Bulls to lead the points table when action on the second day of the West Indies Fullbore Shooting Championships concluded at the Timehri Rifle Ranges on Wednesday afternoon.


Braithwaite assumed the lead from Jamaica’s John Nelson who was leading at the conclusion of the opening day on Tuesday with 116 points with 10 V Bulls. It was a remarkable overall performance for the local shooters as Captain Mahendar Persaud recorded 199 points with 20 V Bulls, Dylan Fields, 198 points with 15 V Bulls and Ransford Goodluck, 198 points with 14 V Bulls sealed off the top 4 positions.
