Excellent performance of CZ Shooting Team
More than 1,800 shooters from 50 countries gathered at the starting line and completed 30 challenging shooting stages. The performance of French shooter Eric Grauffel, a legendary member of the CZ Shooting Team, attracted the most attention at this year’s world championship. He achieved a historic milestone – becoming world champion for the tenth time in a row. He won his first title as a junior and has since managed to win every world championship. In Matlosana, he triumphed in the PRODUCTION OPTICS division, thus definitively entering the history books of sport shooting, while his son Robin Grauffel won his first world championship title in the Junior category of the same division.
Both shooters were aided in their outstanding performances in the PRODUCTION OPTICS division by CZ SHADOW 2 ORANGE OR pistols.
