Local sport shooters will be given an opportunity to participate in a match sponsored annually by P&P Insurance Brokers and Consultants Limited. For the eight consecutive year, this match marks the start of the year's shooting calendar for matches hosted by the Guyana Sport Shooting Foundation.

One of the Match Directors, Captain Roul Bhudu of the Guyana Sport Shooting Foundation, noted that shooters will be competing under two divisions: Production and Limited. The match will consist of three stages, with each stage being shot five times. Times are recorded and the worst one is discarded, leaving the shooter with four recorded times, the total of which is their score for the stage. At the end of the match, the scores are tallied and prizes will be awarded for the top three performers in each division.

Local practical shooters displayed their speed and accuracy as they competed for top honours at the Guyana Sports Shooting Foundation’s year-end match last Sunday, 20th November. The Competition at the Camp Stephenson, GDF Timehri shooting Range was sponsored by El Dorado Security Service of Lot 136 Young Street and comprised of four challenging but fun stages. The match was conducted by Match Director Mrs. Vidushi Persaud-McKinnon who declared it open.
Shooters participated in 3 divisions, namely the Limited, Production and Open divisions. Each division had its unique requirements and restrictions, as prescribed by the USPSA (United States Practical Shooting Association). Since each division has its own regulations, the shooters do not directly compete with each other across divisions. As such, prizes were awarded for 1st to 3rd place in each division.
As is customary with a G.S.S.F. event, strict adherence to firearm safety was followed.

Slovakian manufacturer, producer and exporter to more than 60 countries worldwide recently expanded with their Grand Power Line Firearms now officially in Guyana with El Dorado Security Service of Lot 136 Yong Street, Kingston, Georgetown given the exclusive dealership.

The X-Calibur is their top of the line “sport” pistol aimed at the IPSC/USPSA and general practical shooter. Like many of the guns for this market, it’s a DA/SA full-frame 5″ slide 9mm with a 15+1 capacity. It looks and feels like many of the High Power/ CZ-75 guns currently vying for the competitors’ trophies at sport shooting events.
