KUWAIT CITY, July 16, (KUNA): President of the Kuwait Shooting Club, Duaij Al-Otaibi, affirmed that the club’s organization of a training course at the Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Olympic Shooting Range, in cooperation with the Public Authority for Sports, aligns with its strategic goal of expanding the shooting community and identifying promising Kuwaiti talents.

Speaking to KUNA yesterday, Al-Otaibi revealed that the course will host more than 1,000 male and female participants, covering all Olympic shooting disciplines — shotgun, rifle, and Olympic archery. The two-month program aims to develop participants' skills using the latest training methodologies under the supervision of internationally accredited coaches.

Al-Otaibi highlighted the importance of collaboration with the Public Authority for Sports, emphasizing the club’s commitment to supporting youth passionate about the sport by helping them improve their technical abilities and productively utilizing their time during the summer break. He commended the Authority — particularly acting Director General Bashar Abdullah and his deputies — for their support in facilitating the program’s success.

He also praised the strong commitment and skill shown by the young shooters in the course, noting it as a promising sign of a new generation of Kuwaiti champions. These athletes, he said, are well-positioned to continue the country’s legacy of achievements in Olympic, international, continental, and regional competitions.

Al-Otaibi concluded by expressing his gratitude to Kuwait’s political leadership for its ongoing support and encouragement of shooting sports, reaffirming the club’s dedication to fulfilling its mission and achieving continued progress.
