The history of the Pszów Riflemen's Association KALIBER dates back to the beginning of the current decade. It is an organization that brings together shooting enthusiasts, which engages in numerous thematic initiatives and activities. Its main goal is promotion of safe handling of firearms, developing shooting skills and integrating the community associated with this passion.
Since this year, the organization has a club license of the Polish Sports Shooting Federation, becoming a full member of the national structures of sports shooting. On May 31, 2025 at the recreational and sports shooting range in Pszów, the association organized the Hanys Triathlon - its first competition included in the calendar of the Silesian Sports Shooting Association. As a representative of the WMASG.com editorial team, I decided to check how the organizers managed this debut.
Hanys Triathlon is a competition with a dynamic formula, inspired by the mechanics of 3Gun competition. Prior online registration was preferred, but it was also possible to pay for participation on the day of the competition. The registration point opened at 8:30, and thanks to the intimate nature of the event (about 30 people, including staff and judges), everything went smoothly. After half an hour, a briefing for the participants took place.
The competition included shooting with a rifle at paper targets placed at a range of up to 100 meters, as well as knocking down poppers and metal plates - also moving - from a closer range using a shotgun and a pistol. The participants had to move between subsequent stations, and the time passed had a direct impact on the results. It usually took a little over 3 minutes to complete the course.
Waiting for one's turn was made more pleasant by refreshments prepared by the organizers - in the shaded gazebo you could rest and eat cake or grilled sausage. The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly, and participants - regardless of their experience - could count on support and good advice from their colleagues.
The competition ended a bit earlier than planned. Thanks to the constantly updated results, immediately after the last completed run, the awards were presented in two categories: STANDARD and OPEN, as well as the drawing of small gifts among all competitors, which were funded by the event sponsor, JB Tacticals.
We thank Pszów Riflemen's Association KALIBER for the opportunity to participate in this successful debut!
