Steel Challenge

Steel Challenge Matches worldwide are a speed shooting competition governed by the Steel Challenge Shooting Association.  This gives the G.S.S.F. an SCSA affiliate organisation the ability to pick from eight standardized stages with steel targets, ranging in size from 10" (25 cm) round plates to 18x24" (45x60 cm) square plates. Competitors are scored solely by the time it takes them to complete each stage, and the match winner is the competitor with the lowest overall time.

The Guyana Sport Shooting Foundation introduced Steel Challenge in Guyana and has been hosting these matches on a regular basis with the assistance of eager sponsors such as Publik.

Publik, a popular name in the food industry, known especially for their tasty wings and burgers, assisted the G.S.S.F. in serving to local steel shooters a “Phenomenal” competition to end the year 2017. This match saw shooters competing in the Limited and Production Divisions (9mm or higher caliber pistols are required). Trophies were up for grabs for the Overall 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd place winners in both divisions and special category medals for those in Law Enforcement who were competing amongst themselves within the divisions. 

The Annual B.M. Soat Costume Steel Challenge shooting competition was once again safety completed at the Guyana Defence Force range in Timehri last Saturday. The organistion of the match was facilitated by Steel Challenge Shooting Association affiliate: the Guyana Sport Shooting Foundation. The G.S.S.F. continues to seek to promote the safe use of firearms in sport for its members and commits to continue hosting such competitions following international sport shooting regulations while upholding all regulations for firearm use in Guyana.

For the second year in a row, BM Soat Auto Sales backed the Guyana Sport Shooting Foundation in what has now become an annual costume Steel Challenge shooting match. The themed competition has once again been exclusively sponsored by B.M Soat Auto Sales and is expected to be a keenly contested one. The inaugural match last year was a hit, as members turned out in their costumes, with appearances from Pocahontas, The Joker, Superman, Cowboys, Hondo and even Magic Mike. This year the match is bound to be even more exciting with more shooters taking part in the competition.  Participants invited are expected to take part donning costumes of their liking, hats, wigs, paint, garb are welcome but will have to be within the safety confines of the sport.
