Young Jungsher Virk joined Olympian Kynan Chenai at the top on the second day of qualification in the 63rd National Shooting Championship Competitions for Shotgun events here on Thursday.
Two perfect rounds of 25, put Virk right on top with one more round of qualification to go at the Dr. Karni Singh Shooting Range on Friday.
Hyderabad's Kynan followed up his perfect score of 50 on day one with another round of 25, but ended with a 23 to be tied with Virk on 98.
