MUNESHWERS TRAVELS SPONSORED GSSF STEEL CHALLENGE MATCH GEARED FOR TAKE-OFF THIS WEEKEND
The Guyana Sport Shooting Foundation announced that it is all geared up for take-off this weekend when they will be hosting the First Competition for the New Year: a Steel Challenge Shooting Match which has been sponsored by Muneshwers Travel.
The Match Committee reported that this first match is an eagerly awaited one by members anxious to return to the Range to compete against fellow shooters in two SCSA Divisions: Wildcat and Limited. The prizes up for grabs will be awarded to the top three overall 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 2 of the stages to be announced by the Match Director at the start of the Match.
As an affiliate of the Steel Challenge Shooting Association, a sister body of the United States Practical Shooting Association, the GSSF over the eighteen months, has been organising matches following their strict safety policies. This simple, yet action-packed shooting sport attracts Guyanese pistol shooters from all around the country on a regular basis.
Steel Challenge Shooting is considered to be the fastest practical shooting competition in the world. 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 Foundation’s Range Safety Officers. The shooter with the lowest time to hit all the plates overall in the match will be declared the winner.
At the small ceremony at the Head-office of Muneshwers Travel Service located at Lot 45 Water Street, Georgetown, President of the GSSF, Ms. Vidushi Persaud, in accepting the kind sponsorship, conveyed thanks to Mr. Colin Changur and the Management of the company and 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”.
