On October 13, the winners of the second All-Russian Long-Range Shooting Tournament dedicated to the memory of Hero of the Soviet Union Fyodor Okhlopkov were determined in Yakutsk. The closing ceremony of the competition was held by Deputy Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation – Plenipotentiary Representative of the President of the Russian Federation in the Far Eastern Federal District, Chief Judge of the tournament Yuri Trutnev, Head of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) Aisen Nikolaev and Hero of Russia, Guards Major, Deputy Chief Judge Yaroslav Yakubov. The total prize fund of the tournament was 18 million rubles.
Over the course of two days, more than 140 shooters from different regions of the country, including participants in the special military operation, competed in night and day shooting. Among those who went to the firing line were active military personnel, employees of law enforcement agencies and special forces, as well as civilian shooting enthusiasts.
“Next year we celebrate the 80th anniversary of the Great Victory of the Soviet people in the Great Patriotic War. The tournament we are holding is directly related to this anniversary. The competition is held in honor of the memory of Hero of the Soviet Union Fyodor Matveyevich Okhlopkov. And those who are now standing on the site, put on camouflage not only at the tournaments. We will do everything possible to make the competition interesting, objective and fair, so that through your work and joint efforts our country becomes stronger. I am sure that we need to continue this work. We have chosen a good place: Yakutia – a republic with good traditions of sniper skill. Competition creates opportunities to grow and move forward. Thanks to this tournament, among other things, more high-class shooters will be trained in our country, young guys will become interested in military-sports training, which means the level of sniper skill will grow and our Motherland will become stronger,” said Yuri Trutnev.
“I think the tournament was a success. Many more people came than the first time. The organizing committee headed by Yuri Petrovich Trutnev did a tremendous job to ensure that the best shooters of our country met at the competition. But there is no limit to perfection, we are already starting to prepare for the next tournaments, we will make every effort to ensure that they are held at an even higher level. The results that the participants of these competitions showed, despite the weather, indicate that our Yakutia and all of Russia have traditions of great ancestors, which are continued by their descendants,” noted Aisen Nikolaev.
The third place in the “Night” stage of the tournament was taken by a sniper with the call sign Kolpachok and a spotter with the call sign Vokha. The second place in the “Night” stage went to the pair Hunter and Creed. The first place in the “Night” stage was won by the pair with the call signs Brat and Kos.
