Crown Paints Sponsors NGAO Kenya’s Shooting Competition

The National Gun Owners Association (NGAO-Kenya) is an independent, non-profit and non-political outfit made up of over 500 members who are law-abiding licensed firearm holders within the Republic of Kenya. Their primary purpose is to promote legal and responsible use of firearms by offering its members frequent training and workshops on safe firearm handling, lessons that serve as a core element of enhancing proficiency.

Recently NGAO acquired an outdoor shooting range, 14 km from the city in Kiambu Kirigiti , a first of its kind in the region. Crown Paints proudly sponsored the inaugural shooting competition that was held on 29TH July at the Kirigiti Shooting Range. The competition attracted more than 100 civilians, Kenya Prisons, Kenya Défense Forces, Kenya Police & Kenya Wildlife Services officers. Crown Paints partnered with NGAO with the aim of demystifying guns and promote shooting as a sport.
