The ladies training comprised of civilians who are Licensed Firearm Holders and members of the disciplined forces;
The event was organized to commemorate the International Womens Day and in line with that, guest ladies were invited to come watch, learn and experience what it takes to be a sports shooter.
The ladies also had an opportunity to shoot in support of the lady sports shooters and also for the newly launched Pink Target initiative, which is a CSR project run by the lady shooters in the country.
Noting that It is the second time Kenya is hosting the African Champs, which has traditionally been held in South Africa, NGAO-Kenya Secretary General Ahmed Shamsuddin said a good number of International teams from Russia, Slovakia, Romania and USA are expected to take part in the event.
"6 times IDPA Africa Champion Ian van der Bank from South Africa who has been away for the last 2 Championships will be back to defend his title," he said.
