Shooters competed at the 7th Coast defence Brigade scope in Słupsk. This time, the shooting championship did not take place along with the championships in overcoming obstacles in the physical fitness center and patrol run. – This solution was met with a good reception from the players and their coaches. The gunmen felt more appreciated due to the fact that everyone's attention was directed at them only, not on representatives of other, more spectacular disciplines – explained Lt. Paweł Łępa, head of the Department of Physical Education and Sports of the General Staff of the Polish Army.
According to observers, the Słupsk championships were held at a advanced level. – The shooters didn't make it easy. variable aura.

During this year's championship a rerun of a year agoWhen the 2 best players gained identical results during the firearm shooting. In 2024 representatives of the 12th Mechanized Division (Slawomir Pobiedziński and Mateusz Kosidlak) 13 out of 20 shots hit "10", six in "9" and 1 in "8". With these results they both secured gold medals. To prevent akin draws after last year's championship, the rules were amended. “A higher place with the same number of ‘10’, ‘9’ and ‘8’ is determined by the better consequence obtained in the second series, and for the same one, an additional series will be conclusive and possibly shooting until 1 of the shooters gets a better result,” informs Commander Lypep. This year's spit. Paweł Kamiński from 12 DZ and spit. Maciej Daszkiewicz from the Black Division gained 194 points each – both noted 14 "10" and six "9" each. And since Kamiński won the second series with 1 point, he won the championship title. Daszkiewicz was unlucky due to the fact that he was better, but in the first series.
The advanced level of the championship is demonstrated by the fact that last year's individual gold medalists in firearm shooting this year with 192 "eyes" would not stand on the podium. Interestingly, no of last year's medalists in long-gun firing managed to catch the top 3 players this year. On the another hand, only the st. chor. staff retained the place on the podium in the firing of a military gun. Andrzej Jarocki from 11 DKPanc – last year he was the first, including the second.
In the squad classification of the gold medal pistol, however, the larger number of hits "10" decided. 68 perfect shots were fired by representatives of the 16th Mechanized Division, and 4 little on the account were obtained by gunmen from the air force. The level in the firearm was besides leveled. The bronze medal in the squad classification was determined by the larger number of hits "10". In the squad classification, the Black Division took first place due to the fact that it was better than the Air Force crew by just 1 “eye”!
