Hey people, looks like we'll have to wait a bit longer for the report. But in the meantime we've received pics from some of our shooters. That'll keep you busy until we finish the official report. I've uploaded them for your viewing pleasure.

Here's a special report from our sassy reporter on scene live in Curacao. None other than the team captain's wife, mrs. T. That'll keep you busy while we wait for the captain's blog. It's from a woman's point of view, so put on your pink glasses, sip on a cocktail with a flashy exotic paper umbrella, and read on...

It's nearly time. After months of preparation and training, 15 of our shooters will be heading off to the island of friendly sua's. It's the island of beautiful white beaches and scarcely clothed men and women. It's "die mooie eiland van Korsou met palmbomen in die oceaan naast de zee". It's the island of Curacao where our shooters will undoubtedly show their skill and brush up on their Papiamentu with the local "dushies".

Got a mail yesterday from Ronnie Jamal. One of our shooters who left for Holland. Good to hear from old friends. Ronnie apparently has done really well in sporting skeet competition in Holland. He finished third in both Club and in the Dutch Nationals in Class B and will be attending the international Grand Prix Olympic Skeet from June 11th till 13th 2009. We wish you best of luck and looking forward to hearing from you. He writes:

Happy Easter, people! I know most of our esteemed members are probably out in the jungle hunting easter bunnies, for their eggs that is... Painted..., made of Chocolate even... Sorry for the apparent nonsensical comments, but I'm enjoying a free quality time with my computer that was long overdue AND I couldn't think of an easter song. I'll crawl back into my hole once I finish this report, so you can go about your business. Here's a tip for you guys for easter:

No, it's not the "So Very Sexy, Makes You Angry" day. That would be november 7th.. But that's another story so for now bear with me while I go rambling on about the SVS "Move Your Ass" day. Yes folks, it was an historic moment yesterday March 4th 2009 as asses, that were long believed to be immovable, were moved. What happened was our pilot sporting event for SVS clubmembers and family at the NGVB sport center. We were expecting 7 to 8 people but at the end there were more than 20 asses moved that day.

Howdy folks. Yesterday, despite the rains we've had the second SVS Shooter of the Month match for 2009. You can download the results here and read the following excellent report by Mark "leChef" Jie.

Yes folks,
Gunclub Suriname is now officially affiliated with the Steel Challenge Shooting Association, SCSA.

The Steel Challenge is the pistol shooting championship with the biggest prize table of all shooting sports.

It's back. Our Shooter of the Month monthly match. After a full year of absense, we're back on a monthly basis. Not that we ever stopped, mind you Anyway, enjoy the following excellent report by Mark "le Chef" Jie. Shoot safe.

Last weekend we've had the first SVS IPSC practical shooting championships of 2009 on the ranges of the gunclub Suriname at Marina Durga. You may download a Dutch version of the report by clicking here. It's been exactly two weeks after our last tournament: the End of the year 2008 Championships.

Most interesting in this first match of the year was a stage by Rabien Chotkan to demonstrate how easy it could be to break the "180" rule during a course of fire. It was by no means a stage to generate DQs, merely to stress the importance of safe gun handling.
