Kaieteur Sports – The Guyana Sport Shooting Foundation (GSSF) hosted its Steel Challenge Tier 1 Match at Camp Stephenson Range, Timehri on April 7.
The event not only showcased the skill and precision of seasoned shooters but also celebrated the presence of new participants who added excitement and diversity to the competition.
The match kicked off with opening remarks from Match Director, Dr. Pravesh Harry, who warmly welcomed participants, including newcomers eager to test their skills.
Following Dr. Harry’s remarks, Range Master Ryan McKinnon provided essential safety briefings, ensuring that all shooters, both experienced and new, understood the importance of safety protocols.
Featuring three challenging stages – Accelerator, The Pendulum, and “We Own Ting” – the competition provided a thrilling experience for shooters of all levels.
As shooters were organized in a shooting order and took turns on each stage, spectators and competitors alike were treated to tense moments and exciting displays of marksmanship.
The competition requirements were straightforward, allowing shooters to focus on their performance.
