The Surinamese IPSC Shooters Association culminated its sporting year with the successful Tanfoglio Exhibition Match, a Level 1 competition sponsored by Tanfoglio-Tomahawk. Held at the NorthISH shooting range in Weg naar Zee instead of the usual Rijstdijk venue, the event aimed to enhance public awareness of dynamic shooting sports while providing athletes with a celebratory season finale.
The competition featured three stages across five classifications, maintaining a spirited yet relaxed atmosphere despite intense competitive rivalries. Hongan Bai emerged as the standout performer, securing victory in both the Standard class (ahead of Andy Liu and Stanley Lau) and Senior class (followed by Liu and Marcel Tjon Kon Joe).
Tamani Stuger claimed top honors in the Ladies’ category while achieving an impressive fourth-place overall ranking. The Open class witnessed Bruce Djosetiko demonstrating superior skill against Mingpei Gao, with Andrew Wilson completing the podium. Will Liu dominated the PCC classification ahead of Calvin Baank and surprise contender Damian Chung.
Additional category victories included Alex Stuger’s Production Optics win over Darren Tjon Kon Joe and Jeff Yang, while Nigel Sloot triumphed in Production class with Lin Feng as runner-up.
A notable event feature allowed spectators to experience newly introduced Tanfoglio competition firearms under IPSC association supervision. This interactive initiative generated substantial interest and appreciation among attendees, potentially expanding the sport’s participant base.
With this successful season conclusion, IPSC Suriname anticipates an even more dynamic competitive calendar in 2026.
