National shooting team intensifies training for IDPA

The Kenya National Gun Owners association team has intensified its training in preparation for the IDPA (International Defensive Pistol Association) shooting competition.

The event will be held in Kenya at the Kirigiti shooting range between April 4-9 with teams from Europe, USA and South Africa expected to attend.

The Kenyan competition and training captain Sammmy Onyango has said they are ready to host the championship.

A team that will represent the country will be selected from the local league matches by the Kenya Sports Shooting Federation (KSSF).

“We are welcoming every Kenyan, especially the licensed firearm holders, to be able to come and converge for the competition because all the other countries will be here and it's good when a good number is coming from Europe.

“I was in the USA three weeks ago and had good meetings with some of the clubs and I can see around twenty participants coming from there and Kenya being on the map. We will make sure we lead Africa,” Onyango said.
