Daniel on target at National Championships

Daniel again dominated in the 25m Standard Pistol class with a tally of 558 ahead of Anderson (490) and Thomas (488). Gowkeran Ali (449) and Marchand (414) were fourth and fifth. In the Standard Pistol category, marksmen competed in three stages where the time allotted to compete is shortened in each consecutive stage.

Thomas was aiming to finish ahead of the field after his triumph in the Precision Masters competition at the Tobago Rifle Club-hosted Nationals on October 30. Mohammed took the Production honours in Tobago.

Thomas and Mohammed will have a chance to get the better of Daniel at this Top Gun competition set for Saturday at the Tucker Valley Range.

The ISSF National Championships was hosted by the Trinidad Rifle Association and carried out in keeping to the International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) rules and regulations.
