Sports shooting won its first medal at the Central American Games in Santo Domingo in the team trap event in which Mario Soares, Leonel Martínez and Gabrielle Evangelista finished in third place at the El Higüero Polygon.

Soares led the goal of the Venezuelans with rounds of 42, 46 and 19 (107), followed by Martínez with 45, 37, 18 (100) and Evangelista set a record of 37, 37, 18 (92) to count 299 units and break the record of 201 for this test set by Salvadoran shooters at the San Salvador 2023 event, the Ministry of Popular Power for Sports detailed in a press release.

However, the Guatemalan brothers Hebert, Fernando and Jean Brol, the latter bronze medalist in the Paris 2024 Olympic Games in this modality, set the new record for the CAC Games with a total of 320 and won the gold, followed by the Dominicans Henry Tejeda and Domingo and Eduardo Lorenzo, silver with 303.

The action for Venezuelan sports shooting continues on Sunday with the men's and women's 10-meter air gun tests individually and by team.
