How and at what age did you start with sport shooting and competing in the IPSC?

I have known about this sport since I was 21, when my Dad and I started going to the shooting range together for fun.

What do you like best about the IPSC?

I like competing at their events, as they always force me to confront my limits and overcome them. I enjoy the combination of shooting accurately, speed and concentration. The shooting range is a place where I can fully express myself.

Why did you choose CZ?

It was love at first shot! I never thought of switching to a different firearm. It’s a gun that’s ready for any competition, without the need for any modifications. It never lets you down.

How and why did you join the CZ Shooting team?

I showed up at the CZ stand during the World Shoot in Thailand and received a phone call from the Bignami company afterwards, the importer of CZ firearms in Italy. I joined the CZ shooting team because it’s a great opportunity for me to grow and learn from the best shooters in the world.

How do you prepare for a competition?

I train almost every day at the shooting range with my shooting coach. We have both shooting and physical fitness sessions.

What is a best advice you were ever given?

Believe in myself, in my abilities and in the people who support me.

What is your biggest success in the IPSC?

My biggest success was becoming the World Champion in Production Lady at the 2022 IPSC Handgun World Shoot, in Pattaya, Thailand.

How would you rate your firearm? (Handling, Accuracy, etc.)

I consider my current firearm, the CZ SHADOW 2 ORANGE, to be reliable, safe, precise and suitable for my needs.
