Local practical shooters will participate in a Practical Pistol Match which has been exclusively sponsored by P&P Insurance Brokers and Consultants Limited and hosted by the Guyana Sport Shooting Federation. This much anticipated competition will be held at the GDF’s Timehri Ranges this weekend.
President of the Federation Ms. Vidushi Persaud, in her remarks said the match will usher in the Christmas season and hopefully brings lots of cheer to the members and local pistol aces as they compete in the final competition for the GSSF’s calendar year. Competitors will be separated into two divisions based on their firearm setup: Production Division (for out of the factory firearms) and Standard Division (where some add-ons and higher end aftermarket parts are allowed.)
She went on to note that local Regional Director for IPSC, Mr. Harold Hopkinson has been instrumental in encouraging local shooters and the attendance of a number of practical shooters of Guyana will be facilitated to test their ability to balance the three elements of practical shooting: Speed, Power and Accuracy. Built around safety, the sport simultaneously measures the ability of the competitor to shoot rapidly and accurately with a full powered gun in a fun, fair, and competitive environment.
Match Director Mr. Ryan McKinnon noted with sponsorship from P&P Insurance Brokers &
Consultants Limited, excellent prizes for the Top Three Overall Shooters in each division will be made available. He also indicated that the stages for the match were designed to be dynamic and free style, in that there is no set arrangement of the targets, thus the shooter will have to choose their order of engagement as targets become visible. Safety for all will come first and will be monitored by several experienced range officials and ranks of the Guyana Police Force.
At the small ceremony at P&P Insurance Brokers and Consultants Ltd’s office located at Lot 35 North and King Streets, Georgetown, President of the GSSF, Ms. Vidushi Persaud, in accepting the kind sponsorship, conveyed thanks to the Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Bishwa Panday, who un-hesitatingly came on board to support the sport shooting fraternity. She commended him for his support of various sporting disciplines in Guyana and thanked him for helping to promote sport shooting.
