The Russian Federation of High-precision Shooting held a sniper competition on June 18. This is not the first time that the landfill in Solnechnogorsk district has been used for this purpose. The shooters competed for the Federation Cup.
Before the formation of participants, after raising the flags, the President of the Federation S. V. Sumarokov presented certificates to the new members of the association. A member of the Club of Mountain Hunters Sergey Mazurkevich, who took part in the fight for the cup, was among them.
It was not easy to win this competition, because there were very experienced shooters of high qualification. The exercises that the shooters had to perform were far from simple. They required not only accurate, but also high-speed shooting with a change in the production, line and target. Some shooters had trouble finding the target. These competitions required long-term attention and physical endurance. In addition to the group of five exercises included in the "Qualification", there were nine special exercises, and the total time for shooting work was approaching eight hours. The competitions were personal and team competitions. Each team consisted of two shooters.
The best team was the pair of Gennady Kholod 610 points and Ivan Petrov 360 points (total -979). Alexander Kravtsov 484 and Valery Shits 483 (total -967) were on the secon place. In third place Alexey Kim 350 and Innokenty Kornyushin 526 (total -876). The prize, approved by the CMH, was awarded to the second-place team. In addition to the high team result, this pair had the closest individual achievements.
Gennady Kholod won the individual competition with 610 points. The second was Innokenty Kornyushin - 526 points. Alexander Kravtsov was third – 484 points
Alexey Kim (350 points) took the 16th place, and Sergey Mazurkevich, who competed only in the individual competition, with a result of 287 points-the 23rd place.
Sergey Mazurkevich was awarded a special prize "For the Will to Win", as he took part in such a difficult competition for the first time and passed it with honor.
Everything was organized on the very high level.
