The pair, who left Guyana last Friday and arrived over the weekend, wasted little time in getting in much-needed practice ahead of the competition, which has two components – Pairs and Individuals.
Guyana National Rifle Association (GuyanaNRA) Fullbore Captain Mahendra Persaud was originally part of the team, but, unfortunately, fell ill during January and is presently recuperating in the USA. With Persaud not being able to attend, Goodluck was drafted into the team.
Official practice is set for April 5 with the first match (Pairs) to shoot off on April 9. The first stage of the Individual competition is on April 11.
