The recent ceremony was highlighted by commitment from P&P Insurance Director Vikash Panday who said his company stands committed to continued support of the Federation and sport shooting in spite of the slow economic conditions that presently exist.
The Match is open to all experienced Practical Pistol Shooters of Guyana and advised competitors to pre-register. President of the GSSF Vidushi Persaud-McKinnon noted that the match will usher in the New Year of practical pistol matches; as local pistol aces compete in the first competition for the GSSF’s calendar year.
She noted that for January, members have thus far completed two practice sessions at the GDF Range to help sharpen shooting skills and training. A lot of focus was given on training in this regard and the usual monthly safety shooting course duly completed.
Competitors in the upcoming Match will be separated into two divisions based on their firearm setup: Production Division (for out of the factory firearms) and Limited Division (where some add-ons and higher end aftermarket parts are allowed.)
Chairman of the Practical Shooting Committee and Match Director David Dharry, noted with sponsorship from P&P Insurance Brokers & Consultants Limited, prizes for the Top Three Overall Shooters in each division will be up for grabs. The Federation expressed appreciation to Chief Executive Officer, Bishwa Panday and P&P Insurance, who un-hesitatingly came on board to support the sport shooting fraternity for the third year making this an official event on the shooting Calendar.
