FOR the second consecutive year, B.M Soat Auto Sales has pledged its support for the Guyana Sports Shooting Federation’s (GSSF) Costume Steel Challenge shooting match.The competition is expected to be keenly contested, as the inaugural match last year was a hit, with members turning out in their costumes and there were appearances from Pocahontas, The Joker, Superman, Cowboys, Hondo, and even Magic Mike.

According to a release, the organisers anticipate an even more exciting tournament, with more shooters participating.
Participants invited are expected to don costumes of their liking. Hats, wigs, paint, garb are welcome, but will have to be within the safety confines of the sport.
The GSSF, through regular hosting of Steel Challenge competitions and via its international affiliation with the USA-based Steel Challenge Shooting Association (SCSA), is seeking to give pistol shooters an opportunity to hone their shooting skills in order to be able to select a team to represent Guyana in World Ranked international matches due soon.
Thus, in keeping with strict firearm safety rules, all other rules of competitive shooting stipulated by the SCSA are followed.
Steel Challenge is a fast-paced handgun shooting sport which attracts Guyanese pistol shooters from all around the country. It is easy to follow, and enables shooters to work on their accuracy while simultaneously being tested and scored against the clock. Your time is your score; it is as simple as that.

Three exciting stages are expected to be set up under stringent security at the GDF ranges at Timehri. Competitors would be shooting at five steel targets which would be arranged in preconfigured positions.
Participants will fall under two divisions: Limited and Wildcat, as stipulated by the SCSA Rulebook, and prizes will be awarded to the top three shooters in each division.
