Over 40 of Jamaica’s top gunners took on the world’s best shooters recently and came back happy with their exploits in the Jack Links Cup at Quail Creek Sporting Ranch in South Florida, USA.
Geoffrey Ziadie topped the trio of podium finishers in the main event, winning the “AA” Class after picking off 175 birds in the 200 Bird shoot.
Jordan Thwiates – 153 bagged second place in “C” Class, while Craig Davis came second in “D” Class with a score of 147.
Zaidie entered the event on a high after narrowly missing the highest overall in the recently held PWD Sporting Clays Tournament here at home at the Tru-Juice Estates.
This after taking lessons from 19-time World Shotgun Champion Ben Husthwaite who he credited for making him a better shooter.
Ziadie also credited national coach Khaleel Azan for teaching the local shooters to be highly competitive among the world’s best shooters.
