Members of the Guyana Sport Shooting Federation (GSSF) will be hosting its first competition for the year, the Muneshwers Travel Service Steel Challenge Shooting Match which is eagerly anticipated by members.
Shooters will contest the two SCSA Divisions: Wildcat and Limited, with prizes up for grabs going to the top three overall shooters in each division. Wildcat Division will have competitors using .32ACP and any other calibre lesser than a 9mm, while those in the Limited Division will shoot 9mm or higher calibre hand guns.
To add to the excitement of this first Match for the year, Mr. Colin Changur, renowned Travel
Consultant of Muneshwers Travel announced that a Special Prize of Electronic Ear-muffs will be presented to the shooter with the best time in two of the stages to be announced by the Match Director.
At the simple handing over ceremony at Muneshwers Travel Service located at Lot 45 Water Street, Georgetown, GSSF President Ms. Vidushi Persaud in accepting the kind sponsorship, conveyed thanks to Mr. Colin Changur and the Management of the company.
She noted that, “Steel Challenge is the perfect way to introduce new shooters to the safe sport of steel shooting because of the easy to understand rules and scoring coupled with the satisfaction gained from the instant audible “ping” heard when the bullet hits the steel plate.”
The upcoming competition promises to be an exciting one which will consist of four (4) different stages where competitors will shoot at 5 individual steel targets per stage. Shooters will be scored using an electronic timing device, penalties of added time are applied for any misses after the designated stop plate is shot and the total time taken is the score: all while being closely monitored by the Federation’s Range Safety Officers.
The shooter with the lowest time to hit all the plates overall in the match will be declared the winner. Steel Challenge Shooting is considered to be the fastest practical shooting competition in the world.
