The air pistol draw at the Swedish Cup brought a moment of genuine surprise for Krister Persson of Klippans PK — an experienced shooter who certainly wasn’t expecting to walk away with one of the competition’s most prestigious prizes.

When Krister’s name was announced as the winner of a Walther LP500 Expert, the initial reaction was disbelief. The surprise quickly turned into joy, as winning a top-level air pistol is something any shooter would appreciate — regardless of experience.

Krister wasted no time making plans for his new equipment. The pistol was set to be weighed and prepared the very same evening, with its very first shots coming the following morning during competition on the final day of the Swedish Cup. What impact it will have on his shooting remains to be seen, but the anticipation is clear — sometimes the best way to get to know a new pistol is simply to step onto the line and let it speak for itself. 

This is Krister’s first experience with a Walther air pistol, adding an extra layer of curiosity and excitement to the win. The Swedish Cup once again proved that memorable moments can come both on and off the firing line.
