The Surinamese shooting sports community showcased exceptional talent at the Hong Wei Nationals 2025, a Parcours shooting tournament organized by the National Firearms Association Suriname (NFA). Held at the MTC Shooting Range in Rijsdijk, the event marked the largest tournament ever hosted by the NFA, featuring 56 skilled Surinamese marksmen competing across seven challenging stages. The competition was fierce across five categories, with standout performances in each. Darren Tjon Kon Joen claimed victory in the Standard class, followed by Roderick de Bye and Andy Liu. Marcel Tjon Kon Joen dominated the Super Senior class, with Roy Lee and Erik Kharagjitsingh securing second and third places, respectively. In the Lady class, Tamani Stuger emerged triumphant, with Margery van Dijk Amatdas and rookie Raisa Moertabat rounding out the podium. The Open class saw a surprising win by Mingpei Gao, who capitalized on a weapon malfunction that derailed favorite Desmond Chang’s chances. Gao’s victory was complemented by Guilliano Alleyne’s second-place finish and Chang’s rare third-place result. Other notable winners included Jair Liauw Kie Fa in the PCC class, Justin Heidanus in the Production Optics class, and Nigel Sloot in the Production class. Special awards were given to the youngest participant, 12-year-old Damon Cheung Yo Ho, and the oldest, 71-year-old Roy Lie. The NFA hailed the event as a resounding success, signaling the growing popularity and quality of shooting sports in Suriname. The organization expressed plans to make the Hong Wei Nationals an annual fixture, further cementing its role in fostering the sport’s development.
