Promising signs being showcased in preparations – Fields

Preparations ahead of the defence of Guyana’s respective Short and Long Range titles at the West Indies Fullbore Shooting Championships (WIFBSC) are almost complete ahead of this year’s championships, which will be hosted in the land of the Flying Fish” at the Paragon Ranges, Christ Church, Barbados from May 20. Guyana National Rifle Association (GuyanaNRA) Fullbore Section Vice Captain Dylan Fields has disclosed that practice session have been going well over the past few months and he was very pleased with the way things have been progressing. Fields stated that adjustments would have had to be made to the team set-up given the sickness of Fullbore Captain Mahendra Persaud, who is on the mend following a brief period of illness.

“But what I am seeing with the team is positive and the morale is quite high at the moment. We have been shooting all ranges in the last few months, but we have been doing team match simulations for the past two weeks,” he indicated.
Fields also disclosed that there was one more session remaining based on the preparation plan and that was set for this Sunday at the Timehri Rifle Ranges.
