Andrew Wilson emerged victorious in the Pistol Caliber Carbine (PCC) Class, trailed by Shaquille Liauw Kie Fa and Will Liu. Suriname’s Justin Heidanus, Alex Stuger, and Nicholson Zheng dominated the Production Optics Class. The Production Class saw Bruce Djosetiko claim the title with ease, followed by Nigel Sloot and Marc Loor, completing another all-Surinamese podium. Five prestigious IPSC President’s Medals were awarded to Ronald Brown (twice), Justin Heidanus, Tamani Stuger, and Régis Lemaitre.
