Crewkerne, England — SHIELD Sights is proud to congratulate all athletes who competed in the European Handgun Championships 2026, one of the premier events on the IPSC competition calendar.

Hosted under demanding conditions, this year's championship challenged competitors with difficult stage designs and unpredictable weather, rewarding consistency, precision, and mental focus throughout the match.

Team SHIELD was well represented across multiple divisions, with competitors delivering strong performances against one of the deepest fields of talent in international practical shooting.

SHIELD Sights congratulates Denny Rossetto, the reigning Ladies Open World Champion, on successfully defending her Ladies Open European Championship title with another outstanding performance. Among the championship highlights, Miroslav Zapletal captured the Men's Senior Production Optics European Championship, demonstrating exceptional skill throughout the match.

While podium finishes are always the goal, the European Handgun Championships once again showcased the remarkable talent and dedication of the athletes competing with SHIELD optics. We are proud of every member of Team SHIELD who represented the brand with professionalism, determination, and sportsmanship throughout the event.

SHIELD Sights extends its congratulations to every competitor who took part in this year's championship and thanks our shooters, partners, and supporters for their continued trust in the SHIELD brand. We look forward to following their success throughout the remainder of the 2026 competition season.
