How did you first hear about IPSC?
I heard about IPSC shooting when I was 6 years old since my dad used to be an IPSC shooter back in 1989. He used to take me and my older brother to his competitions and that’s when I really got to see it in action.
For how long have you been shooting?
After being a spectator for a long time, I decided to give it a try, a lot of friends have been telling me how cool the sport is and I have been now shooting for more than 2 years.
What Division do you shoot and why?
I shoot Open Division because my dad taught me with his Open firearm how to grip and how to control recoil, this is why I find Open Division very comfortable for me; it’s fun to shoot this challenging Division that always lets me develop myself and improve all the time and to make me ready for a bigger match in Thailand or a future International match.
What is the coolest about IPSC shooting?
IPSC is a unique sport that always tests your skills in adapting your shooting style to the particular courses of fire. In addition, every match is different and challenging and I love the different courses of fire, and the competitive aspect of shooting with other athletes, make new friends or meet old ones from around the world.
What do your friends and family think about you shooting IPSC?
My family always has been encouraging and supportive of my IPSC shooting and they are very happy for me, and they were surprised when I told them I wanted to start competing in IPSC shooting.
Some of my friends are from the IPSC world but also I have many friends that have never heard of IPSC and they get very excited when I tell them all about this.
