Handgun tourney dubbed SA IPSC sendoff trial match took place on Saturday at the Kirigiti shooting range in Kiambu county.
The International Practical Shooting Confederation (IPSC) match brought together approximately 80 participants comprising of members of the disciplined forces and civilians.
The aim of the match which was sponsored by Solution East Africa was for team members to fine tune their skills in preparation for the much anticipated Level 3 handgun championships scheduled to take place in February in Limpopo South Africa.
“In February we are flying to South Africa for the Limpopo Level 3 Championships, which will be held in Polokwane [sic],’’ said GSU’s Belinda Akoth.
“Today’s tournament was just a pretrial match of the stages- we are supposed to shoot in South Africa, just to see where we are in terms of performance and preparedness,” she explained.
Belinda added that the participants in the Saturday match were mainly the Kenyan team members travelling to Limpopo and a support team of the rest of the usual shooters from the DFs and civilians.
Top shooters from the disciplined forces that will represent Kenya in Limpopo include Belinda Akoth (GSU), Peter Muli (GSU), Agnes Muchiri (ATPU), Irene Wanjiku (GSU) and Mike Kiptanui (ATPU) among others.
Several civilian shooters will be taking part in the tourney as well.
“I've seen a higher level of preparedness in the team and I'm optimistic about many wins, in South Africa,” concluded Belinda.
