30m Match Crossbow World Cup for the first time in Czech Republic

After an intensive search for World Cup organizers at the end of the 2024 season, the shooting club in Sezemice (CZE) took the challenge to host a double issue of the 30m Match Crossbow World Cup for the year 2025. As usual, you can find the necessary documents for download in the calendar section.

The preparation works are up and running; the range and the target equipment are expected to be ready by the end of the month. For those who knew the somehow limited parking opportunities around the range, the final good news – a new parking area was already finished and put into operation.

Another exciting news is that the Capapie company agreed to become a partner of the competition and to provide prizes for the winners.

So, after some final arrangements, Sezemice is looking forward to welcome the world elite shooters in the Match division between 3rd and 6th July 2025. Come and taste the famous local gingerbread!
