Modern Optical of Middle Street, Cummingsburg will sponsor Sunday’s Inter Services Pistol shooting championship billed for the Timehri rifle and pistol ranges.

The team event organized by the Smallbore (handgun) Section of the Guyana National Rifle Association (GNRA) will feature some of the top handgun shooters locally.

The competing teams are Guyana Police Force, Guyana Defence Force, Bank of Guyana Security, Presidential Guards, US Embassy Regiment Security and GNRA handgun shooters.

Smallbore captain Joseph Chin disclosed that over 40 shooters are expected to participate in the one-day tournament that will be run under the International Practical Shooters Confederation (IPSC) rules.

Chin said the tournament will be shot in three stages and shooters will be divided into three categories.

Managing Director of Modern Optical Dr. Jose Da Silva on Tuesday presented the sponsorship cheque, trophies and medals to Secretary of the GNRA Ryan Sampson.
