The GSSF, an affiliate of the Steel Challenge Shooting Association (SCSA), continues to promote this simple yet action-packed shooting sport to local pistol shooters by organising such matches on a regular basis.
Steel Challenge is considered to be the fastest practical shooting competition in the world. All matches comply with all rules and regulations stipulated by the SCSA. Match Director Captain Gary Sahai reported that two exciting stages are being planned, wherein competitors will be shooting at 5 steel targets which are arranged in preconfigured positions.
Scoring will be done using a timer which records the time taken for a shooter to complete engaging all five targets. The shooter’s time is his/her score, with time added for targets not hit. Scores are entered into a specialised software, and the shooter with the lowest overall time wins the match.
Participation in this Steel Challenge match would fall under three divisions: Limited, Production and Wildcat, and prizes would be awarded to the top three shooters in each division.
Special medal allocation would be given to the shooter with the fastest string/stage for each division.
At a small handing-over ceremony held at the head office of the Praetorian Executive Protection Services at Carmichael and Quamina Streets, Chief Executive Officer Dallas Thomas indicated his delight at sponsoring what promises to be an exciting match.
Gratitude has been expressed by the Directors of the GSSF to the principals of the PEPS for sponsoring this Steel Challenge tournament. Those in attendance at the launching of this tournament were Capt. Gary Sahai, Mr. Andrew Phang and Dr. Pravesh Harry, who all indicated they look forward to this being an annual event on the GSSF’s Shotting calendar.
