How and at what age did you start with sport shooting and competing in the IPSC?
A quarter of a century ago, I began target shooting with my father and brother. The IPSC came a few years later and, at the age of 15, I started competing.

What do you like best about the IPSC?
Shooting “on the edge” with maximum speed and accuracy. I also enjoy the diversity of this discipline and the development of the sport in general.

Why did you choose CZ?
I started shooting the CZ 75 pistol when I was 15, and later moved on to the Tactical Sport. Everything else I saw or tried seemed like a dead end.

How and why did you join the CZ Shooting Team?
The door to the team was opened when I won the Junior gold medal at the 2004 European Championship and one year later at the World Championship in Ecuador. Besides shooting, I enjoy contributing to the development and improvement of CZ firearms.

How do you prepare for a competition?
Mainly by shooting and dry training, but there is also a lot of physical and technical preparation for both me and my equipment.

What is a best advice you were ever given?
Shoot A’s!

What is your biggest success in the IPSC?
In addition to the junior achievements mentioned before, I won two bronze medals at the 2016 and 2019 European Championship, as well as Australian-Asian medals and first place in several Extreme Euro Open events.

How would you rate your weapon? (Handling, Accuracy, etc.)
I would love learning to shoot my gun to its full potential.
