How and at what age did you start with sport shooting and competing in the IPSC?
I started with IPSC at 12 years old.

What do you like best about the IPSC?
I like IPSC because it combines the art of the sport with the excitement of every match, and the rewarding journey of constant practice—both on the range and in the gym. 

Why did you choose CZ?
I chose CZ because it offers firearms tailored to the shooter’s needs, and I can rely on its performance anytime due to its proven reliability.

How and why did you join the CZ Shooting Team?
I joined the CZ shooting team because I believe in the brand’s quality and performance. Through my dedication, hard work, and consistent results in competitions, I was given the opportunity to represent a team that shares my passion for excellence in the sport.

How do you prepare for a competition?
I prepare for competition by staying fully committed to the sport. I train consistently working out in the gym and going to the range 4 to 5 times a week, where I shoot around 500 to 1,000 rounds per day to maintain and improve my performance.

What is a best advice you were ever given?
The best advice I’ve ever received is that your only real opponent is yourself it’s always you vs. you. Focus on improving, and everything else will follow.

What is your biggest success in the IPSC?
My biggest success in IPSC isn’t just about trophies or titles it’s about the progress I’ve made as a shooter and as a person. Every competition, every win and loss, has helped me grow, stay disciplined, and push my limits. Representing my country, performing under pressure, and continuously improving my skills are what I consider my greatest achievements in the sport.

How would you rate your weapon? (Handling, Accuracy, etc.)
I would rate my CZ Shadow 2 very highly in terms of handling and accuracy. It has excellent balance and a smooth, stable recoil, which makes follow-up shots fast and controlled. The ergonomics fit my hand perfectly, giving me confidence and consistency on every stage. Its accuracy is outstanding, and combined with its reliability, it’s a pistol I can fully trust in competition.
