A smiling hunter and ballistics expert - that's Václav Cibulka!
Václav Cibulka got into guns as a child thanks to the family tradition of hunting. He has been involved in hunting since 1991 and in sports shooting since 2014. He now works as a ballistics expert for STV Technology.
Václav Cibulka was introduced to weapons at an early age thanks to the family tradition of hunting, which has been passed down in his family for several generations. Hunting has become an integral part of his life. At the age of six, he first helped his grandfather reload bullets, which was the beginning of his relationship with shooting and weapons. This interest gradually grew into a real passion, and since 1991 he has been fully dedicated to hunting. Experience with hunting weapons and their use in nature has shaped him not only as a shooter, but also as a weapons expert.
A fundamental change in his life came in 2014, when his wife introduced him to sports shooting. This moment opened up a new world for Václav – the world of dynamic shooting disciplines and competitions. Together they became members of the Moravská Třebová Armed Sports Association, focused on practical, sports and defensive shooting. While his wife specialized in short weapons, Václav expanded his shooting arsenal with a long rifle and a shotgun, developing his skills not only in the field of accurate shooting, but also in shooting at longer distances.
In 2017, Václav joined the Active Reserves of the Armed Forces of the Czech Republic, where he serves as a machine gunner. This experience allowed him to combine his civilian skills with weapons with military training and contribute to the defense of the state. The Active Reserves provided him with the opportunity to use his many years of shooting experience in demanding conditions and at the same time develop his tactical skills. It is in this role that he applies not only his knowledge of hunting and sport shooting, but also the accuracy and endurance that are necessary when handling heavy weapons.
