Sponsored by Secure Innovations and Concepts Inc. of Durban Backlands Georgetown, Braithwaite on Friday shot in the Third Stage of the Queens Final, where the best at the Imperial Meet face off.
This, the 150th competition, makes Braithwaite’s achievement even more satisfactory, because this is his 8th participation in this competition, which is popularly known as Bisley.
The last time he had participated in this competition, he had made the Queens Final.
He ended 91st in the Grand Aggregate out of a total of 200 shooters; while, in the St. George’s competition, he narrowly missed out on the third stage, which had a cut off of 147.19; Braithwaite’s score was 147.15.
Meanwhile, the Guyanese quartet of Lennox Braithwaite, Dylan Fields, Sigmund Douglas and John Fraser, which is also part of the West Indies Team, competed yesterday (Friday) as a nation in the NRA, the Junior Overseas Junior Kolapore Match, and won gold.
They recorded a total of 372.15v, having shot 126.6v at 300 yards, 124.3v at 500 yards, and 122.6v at 600 yards.
