Bahrain’s Ministry of Interior Shooting Team turned heads at the 43rd Annual Police Shooting Championship in the UAE, held from February 17 to 27, 2025, proving once again that precision and grit run deep in the kingdom’s ranks. Competing against top-tier talent under the banner of the UAE’s Police Sports Federation, the team walked away with a haul of medals that’s got the nation buzzing.
Men’s Team Fires Up the Podium
The men’s squad delivered a masterclass in the Tactical Shooting event, clinching second place and a well-deserved silver medal. It’s the kind of performance that demands respect—cool-headed, calculated, and right on target. They didn’t just show up; they showed out, proving they can hang with the best when the pressure’s on.
Women’s Team Speeds to Bronze
Not to be outdone, the women’s team tore through the Speed Challenge, nabbing third place and a bronze medal with a display of lightning-fast reflexes and steely focus. It’s a finish that underscores their rising star power on the international stage—proof that Bahrain’s shooters, regardless of gender, are a force to be reckoned with.
A Nod from the Top
Brigadier Khalid Abdulaziz Al Khayat, the man steering the Public Security Sports Federation, didn’t hold back his pride. He tipped his hat to the Minister of Interior for the unwavering support that’s fueled these athletes, calling it the backbone of their success. “This isn’t just about medals,” he said, “it’s about the dedication from the top down—especially the Chief of Public Security’s hands-on guidance—that’s pushing us to new heights locally and beyond.” It’s a sentiment that rings true: Bahrain’s shooters aren’t just competing—they’re building a legacy, one bullseye at a time.
