Guyana’s Peter Persaud shot his way to the top spot amongst his Caribbean peers at the just concluded 2025 West Indies Fullbore Shooting Council Individual championships, which took place at the Paragon Range, Christ Church, Barbados.

Competing against some of the Caribbean’s best fullbore marksmen and women and others from Ireland, United Kingdom and the United States, Persaud who has been improving with every regional championship finally broke through the ranks to claim the coveted prize of being the best in the West Indies.

Persaud’s accumulated score which earned him the top Caribbean spot was 349 and 25 V-Bulls following competition at eight of nine ranges, bad weather negating the other on the first day of the three-day individual showdown.

Four of the top five shooters hailed from Ireland with the fourth place going to USA’s Jerry Iliff (350.28).

First was Nick Healy (355.34), second Gary Alexander (351.26), third David Calvert (351.24) and fifth Rebecca Laird (350.26).

Antigua and Barbuda’s Anderson Perry (342.21) was the Caribbean’s second place finisher followed by Guyana’s Lennox Braithwaite and Leo Romalho.
