Dr. Johan DaSilva was third with 96.
The second stage (stationary shoot) saw Hing on 50 points edging out Ryan McKinnon who recorded 49.5 points with small-bore captain Joseph Chin finishing third with 36.5 points.
There were also creditable performances from Ian Rogers, Gordon Richards and John Ferreira.
In the overall points standing Hing scored 160 points followed by Dr. Da Silva with 130 while Ian Rogers came in third with 123 points.
According to Chin, last weekend‘s competition served as a warm up for the GNRA team in preparation for the Modern Optical shooting championships which will take place on July 11 and will involve at least seven teams including GNRA, disciplined services and the security services.
Over 40 shooters are expected to compete in the one-day shootout at the Timehri ranges.
