Participants’ Comments
K.K:
“The first competition was tough: each exercise of 10 shots was limited to 90 seconds, and the distance from the start position to the shooting position was significant. In DLR, we usually managed 7–8 shots, and rarely all 10. There was often not enough time for precise aiming. These competitions helped me understand which mistakes to work on, what to improve, and which skills can be applied in real military situations.
Chief Judge of the SFC (Sniping Federation of Kyrgyzstan):
“On September 12–14, the Kyrgyzstan Sniping Federation team visited Livorno, Italy, to take part in the competitions. On September 12, the KAHLES 2025 Cup final took place, bringing together top shooters from nearly 20 countries. The match was exciting and dynamic, and the organizers created a real shooting festival for everyone. In the Military category, our shooter A.B took second place, and two of our athletes entered the Top 10.
On September 13–14, the PRS Italian Championship Final was held, featuring more than 70 shooters from across Europe, including top-ranked athletes. Participants completed 16 challenging stages, and our shooters showcased their best skills. In the Military category, K.K won third place.
Undoubtedly, this was an invaluable international experience, including organizational aspects. We also established contacts with foreign shooters who are planning to visit Kyrgyzstan and take part in our competitions. Once again, we express our gratitude to the organizers for this true celebration of marksmanship!”
