1st ShooterSIS/SIG SAUER Cup

AT CH

1st ShooterSIS/SIG SAUER Cup – Malakasa, Řecko Greece isn´t only a country full of monuments, beutiful sea and Metaxa. It is also country where IPSC are favourite, it has a great number of shooting ranges, lot of good shooters and mainly enormous potencial of people willing to organize high quality matches.When I took part in Créte EHC 98, and in 2001 final round European league and above all in XV. World Shoot 2011 on Rhodos Island. I became totally conviced about all that. And this fact confirmed in May this year when i participated in the match Shootersis SIS Cup in Malakase nearby Athens. The shooting range in Malakase is situated in mountainous country obout 40km from the centre of Athens. It is easy to get there. Shooting range has several shooting boxes for shotgun events, four covered boxes and mainly twenty various boxes for IPSC. There is a central building and parking place. All this is set among the hills covered with pines and various shrubs. What else could a shooter wish ?

18 stages were built for this match and each of them in the individual box. Match was intended for 305 rounds minimum. I was a little bit afraid that due to frequently mentioned crisis in the news the quality of the match will suffer - but my worries were useless. The match was prepared perfectly. Every stage design found inspiration in Greek history and was perfectly described in match book.

The stages were built in a less complicated way, nevertheless they were very demanding from the point the view of shooting. What was positive about this match its smooth run. In this match On-line scoring system was tested only unofficially at simultaneous usage of paper scoresheets. Next year On-line system should be already used officially. Time schedule worked almost precisely and awarding ceremony was held around 4 p.m.on Sunday. It was little bit noisy and confusing but done in a good mood in typical greek atmosphere.

In my opinion, it was very good match with 218 competitors from 10 countries.
