JAKARTA (JP): Some 200 sharp-shooters are expected to compete
in the Minister of Defense/Armed Forces Commander Cup to be
held in Jakarta from March 20 to March 25.

Secretary-general of the Indonesian Target Shooting and
Hunting Association, Anthony Sunarya, said yesterday that the
individual competition would be used to help select the national
women's double trap quartet team for the 13th Asian Games in
December.

He said squad members Sylvia Lumi Silimang, Supadmi, Rini Dwi
K and Tintin would have to fight for the three places in the
Asian Games shooting team.

The markswomen will be tested again at the World Clay Pigeon
Shooting championships in Brunei in May.

Anthony complained about the high cost of preparing for the
Asian Games. The association has had to spend Rp 2 million
(US$200) on bullets for each practice session held.

The association plans to increase the number of practice
session held each week from three to five. (yan)
