The championship has been designed to improve sporting communication, support meetings and gatherings of public authority officers, celebrate the 45th National Day, develop cooperation between the participants and support shooting development efforts and the national industry; i.e. Caracal gun manufactured by Remaya.
The championship witnessed fierce competition at different stages. The Authority’s men’s and women’s teams passed the preliminary round in 10-m shooting while the women’s team came at the top of teams that advanced to 15-m semifinals. Then the men’s and women’s team convincingly beat their respective opponents in 15-m competition to qualify for the final (20 meter shooting).
