The 2011 Force Annual Shooting Competition proved as popular as ever on May 28, attracting nearly 200 regular and auxiliary police shooters, as well as participants from other disciplined services, including ICAC, Immigration Department, Fire Services Department, Correctional Services Department and Customs and Excise Department.
As in previous years, the competition was held on the 12/F indoor shooting range at Police Headquarters, with the Multi-purpose Hall on the 10/F used for a reception and the prize presentation. Former Deputy Commissioner, Mr Fung Siu-yuen, Director of Personnel and Training Ma Wai-luk and Senior Superintendet (Hong Kong Island Auxiliary) To Ming-yin presented prizes to the winners and runners-up.
The competition comprised distance shootings (10m, 15m, 20m), position shootings (single-handed, two-handed, kneeling) and barricade shooting. Contestants competed for awards for categories of Uniform Branch (Team/Individual), Crime (Team/Individual), Open Revolver (Team/Individual), Open Pistol (Team/Individual), Auxiliary (Team/Individual), Fung Siu Yuen Cup and Inter-Disciplined Services Competition.
Apart from enjoying a fair and open contest, the shooters were able to share with each other the knowledge and skills of the shooting sport.
At the end of the event, the Chairman of the Police Shooting Club, Mr Fan Sik-ming, thanked the volunteer workers of his club, as well as officers from the Force and other Disciplined Services for their support and contribution to the competition.
