The 13th stage of the ongoing 60X ISOL Remote Shoot Virtual Competition highlighted strong competition among three of Archery Guyana’s members in the Recurve 30m category.
Last Sunday, during the world’s ongoing lockdown for the Covid-19 pandemic Guyana’s Samira Duncan scoring 541 points, Umasankar Madray 522 points and Nicholas Hing 518 points.
Sunday’s showing marked the second appearance of all three archers in this series of matches.
According to a press release, the exciting match took place in rather wet conditions with the local archers competing throughout the rain which cleared up only after the event was completed.
Duncan’s performance was much improved over her last appearance and she was able to find the 10 ring ten times during her 12 ends. The competition between Madray and Hing was fierce with Hing having a 22 points lead after six ends. However, Madray produced a masterful performance in the final 6 ends to overtake Hing final score by 4 points.
On the previous Sunday (June 21, 2020), the 12th stage of this competition had Madray competing against fellow Archery Guyana member Robert Singh. Madray performed well with excellent groupings but then experienced a problem with his equipment.
Singh came in 1 point ahead of Madray, the final scores being Singh 531 and Madray 530.
The interest in this virtual competition continues to grow with archers from around the Caribbean participating regularly along with representatives from Europe, Africa, India, Korea, Australia and the USA.
The competition continues next Sunday, 5th July with stage 14, as Archery Guyana urges its members with access to safe home facilities to participate.
All archers are mandated to observe our National health and safety requirements and the PAHO/WHO guidelines for the prevention of COVID-19.
Archery Guyana wishes to thank Mr. Robert Singh for his input and facilitation of this Novel competition here in Guyana.
