The Guyana Sport Shooting Federation (GSSF) in partnership with World Archery Americas will be hosting its inaugural archery development seminar in Georgetown, which will be conducted by international archer/coach Diego Torres of Columbia.
According to a release, Susan Isaacs, General Manager of Pegasus Hotel Guyana, at a handing over ceremony last Friday held at the hotel, pledged its commitment to the support of Archery Guyana.
Torres is expected to be in Guyana for a period of 10 days in August 2015 to conduct the seminars for members of the Federation. The focus will be archery safety, the fabrication of PVC bows and the correct form in archery.
This will give participants the knowledge as to how to further develop this longstanding Olympic sport by making these low cost bows which will then be used for training and local competitions, while shooting practice sessions will be arranged to ensure that members learn the fundamentals of the sport of Archery early on.
