The CZ Shooting Team delivered an exceptional performance at the renowned CZ Extreme Euro Open, an IPSC practical shooting competition held June 26-28, 2025, at the Hodonice shooting range near Znojmo, Czech Republic. This year’s event also doubled as the Czech National Championship, crowning national champions in each division.
Widely recognized as one of the largest and most challenging shooting competitions globally, the CZ Extreme Euro Open drew 1,138 competitors from 59 countries, including some of the world’s elite shooters. Participants faced 30 demanding stages, testing their speed, accuracy, and tactical skills under varied weather conditions, from scorching heat to sudden thunderstorms.
The CZ Shooting Team secured a total of 13 medals, six gold, four silver, and three bronze, demonstrating once again their standing among the best competitive shooters worldwide.

In the PRODUCTION division, Argentine teammates Juan Pablo Duran and German Romitelli earned silver and bronze medals, respectively. Serbia’s Ljubisa Momcilovic defended his Senior category title, while Italy’s Camilla Almici topped the Ladies category. All CZ competitors in this division used CZ Shadow 2 Orange pistols.
The fiercely competitive PRODUCTION OPTICS division saw France’s Eric Grauffel claiming victory, while CZ shooter Martin Kamenicek earned bronze and the Czech national champion title. Junior competitor Robin Grauffel secured gold in his category and placed seventh overall, with both shooters utilizing CZ Shadow 2 OR pistols.
