GUYANA SPORT SHOOTING FOUNDATION CLOSES OFF 2019 AND USHERS IN CHRISTMAS WITH A PRACTICAL SHOOTING COMPETITION SPONSORED BY WOODPECKER PRODUCTS

Last Saturday 7^th December, 2019, local practical shooters braved the rainy weather and headed to Timehri Rifle Range to participate in what would be Guyana’s last Practical Shooting Match for 2019.

By way of reminder, Practical shooting is regarded as any type of sport shooting that involves engaging targets while having to move with the firearm. Scoring takes into account three elements – speed, accuracy and power. Saturday’s Match which was sponsored by Woodpecker Products located at Lot 40 Fourth Street, Alberttown, Georgetown, did just that with the 5 (five) exciting stages that sought to measure the shooters’ ability in all three elements and coordinated under strict safety guidelines.

Owner and Managing Director of Woodpecker Products located at Lot 40, Fourth Street, Alberttown, Mrs. Luana Ferandes, recently generously donated to the Guyana Sport Shooting Foundation several Trophies for their upcoming Practical Pistol Competition to be held at the G.D.F. Timehri Ranges.

At a simple hand-over ceremony representative of Woodpecker Products, Ms. Maria Samaro, presented the Trophies to G.S.S.F.’s Asst. Secretary/Treasurer, Mr. Andrew Phang, who accepted the prizes on behalf of the G.S.S.F. and thanked Woodpecker Products for the support given to local sport shooting.

Local practical shooters were for the second year given an opportunity last weekend, on Saturday 29^th June, 2019, to participate in a Sport Shooting Competition which was exclusively sponsored by Dental Imports Guyana Inc. (DIG Inc.) and hosted by the Guyana Sport Shooting Foundation.
