3 day
Championship culminates in exciting display of professional shooting
The finals of the Fazza Championship for Shooting in the Schuetzen rifle
category saw some skilled display of shooting in both the men’s and women’s
categories, thus bringing the curtain down on another successful edition of the
shooting championships in Nad Al-Sheba in Dubai. A mix of Emirati and Arab
contestants vied for the top spots over 3 days, but superior marksmanship
earned the Kuwaiti men and women shooters a position in the finals.
The Fazza Championship for Shooting
was organised by the Hamdan Bin Mohammed Heritage Center under the patronage of
His Highness Sheikh Hamdan Bin Mohammed
Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai.
Kuwaiti shooter Mansour Al Rashidi
won first place with 115 points in the men’s category and was impressed with
the overall level of the competition. He said: “The Fazza Championship for
Shooting is very exclusive and contestants displayed a high level of
professional skill over the course of 3 days. Clay shooting is a challenging form
of shooting and I was pleased that the competition tested my abilities as a
shooter.”
Kuwaiti woman shooter Shahad Al Hawal
who has been shooting professionally for eight years and is a regular at the
Fazza Championship for Shooting, emerged victorious in the women’s category. “I
enjoyed participating in the Championships especially since shooting clay with
the Schuetzen rifle is no mean feat. This is my third season at the Fazza
Championships and I look forward to another exciting edition next year.”
The Barak Team emerged victorious in
the competitive team challenge while the Nad Al-Sheba (NAS) won the second
place. Sheikh Ahmed bin Mohammad bin Hasher Al Maktoum, Olympic shooter and the
head of the organising committee of the Fazza Championship for Shooting
congratulated the winners of the Championship for displaying precision and
accuracy during the competition.
He said: “We witnessed an
overwhelming response to the Championship this year. The competition between
the Emirati and Kuwaiti shooters made it a more thrilling contest and we hope
for more local participation in the future.
“I would particularly like to
congratulate the UAE’s very own NAS team for making the second place. They have
worked hard and despite being fairly new have produced some very skilled
shooters. I would like to congratulate all the winners and we hope to see them
compete professionally again soon.”
