RYAN McKinnon was declared winner of the Guyana Sports Shooting Federation/ B.M. Soat Costume Steel Challenge shooting competition which was held last weekend at the Timehri Rifle Range, Timehri.
According to a release, Ryan finished first with an average of 66.19 percent to finish ahead of Mohamed Qualander (74.58) and Vidushi Persaud-McKinnon (97.66) in the Limited category, while in the Wild Cat category, Jagmohan Bassoo (34.82) was first. Second was Rajiv Latchana (160.58). Placing third in this division was Roberto Hochand (281.46).
The release stated that the competition was once again safely staged and was organized by the GSSF.
The GSSF said in its release that it is committed to continuing to promote the safe use of firearms in the sport for its members as well continuing to host such competitions following international sport shooting regulations while upholding all regulations for firearm use in Guyana.
The annual costume match seeks to give local shooters a chance to experience the sport from a fun based outlook while at the same time being competitive and upholding stringent safety rules. There is something about dressing up in a costume and undertaking any serious task which results in laughter.
The recent match was no different, shooting three stages simultaneously setup on the range with steel plates,with competitors enjoyed the afternoon in cloudy skies over the Timehri range,
breaking the silence repeatedly with the sound of gunfire and metal hitting metal to make the musical pings on the various steel plates.
The GSSF wishes to thank Chief of Staff of the GDF, Brigadier George Lewis, GDF Colonel Doodnauth, GPF Commissioner Seelall Persaud, GPF Asst. Commissioner David Ramnarine, GPF Commander Clifton Hicken, GPF OC TSU Senior Superintendent Dehnert, GPF Corporal Dunn and the ranks of the GPF Armoury and TSU. The Federation also expressed sincere thanks to Mr. Bashair Mohamed, Mrs. Vimala Priya Mohamed and Mr. Rameez Mohamed of B.M. Soat for their usual kind support of the event.
