Thiruvananthapuram: Ace pistol shooter Vijay Kumar (right) fired a golden double for the second time to end his campaign with a rich haul of five gold and one bronze even as the Services Sports Control Board remained on course for a hat-trick of overall titles on day seven of the 35th National Games on Saturday.
