ds1 Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 Last week was the annual CZ international military sniper comp. Over the last 5 years or so it has grown and developed into a very well organised comp. This time for 4 days. International representation came from GB, Slovinia, France, Germany and Finnland....maybe more countries. I did my best to piss the Finns off by wearing Russian camo.....In all 68 competitors (34 teams). Events were quite physical, half day ghillie crawls, running 400m with a 10kg sand bag and a 100m tunnel crawl (someone got stuck ). Shooting from 50m to 600m, known and ukd. Food was army canteen and accommodation in army tents on site. Hope a couple of the UK lads who came will chime in........sorry I did not take any pics but will see if I get any sent to post.

John MH Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 Was this a Military only event? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ds1 Posted April 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 About 90 % of competitors were military plus about 5% police and 5% special invites, the Brits fell into the last category. The event was hosted by the Czech Army 7th Mechanized Brigade, awards were presented by the Minister of the Interior . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ds1 Posted April 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 No, Longshot is in Poland as far as I know..........I would like to go there too as some Czech lads did very well there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TC Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 I was lucky you enough to be able to compete and the would echo ds1's comments, what a great event. I learned a huge amount about myself and my shooting and hope to be invited back. Most of the cuts have healed over and the bruises are fading but I have some great memories - apart from the last night which is very vague for some reason! As for that bloody tunnel, anyone over 6'6" need not apply.... Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DW58 Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 There have been quite a lot of photos on FaceySpaceyBook over the past week, some were posted by Accuracy International among others. The environment looked very sandy, a couple of Finns of my acquintance said they shook enough gear out of their kit on their return home to create their own beach. Looked like a great event.

ds1 Posted April 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 sandy....very and to contradict urban myth the DTA mags worked fine and the AI mags in at least my AWP which I loaned and an AI AXMC sucked with the sand. In truth there is a much more physical mil comp this week, but being a lazy b*stard I passed on it amongst other reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two Finns were good lads, hope to get to shoot with them again. They may be the most talkative Finns I have ever met :-). One of them sent me some photos this morning but I have not had chance to go through them yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friend is pretty talkative, but its never boring travel with him. Hope we get another change to shoot together, you should come and take part to our competitions like Finnsniper and Häyhä.
