„SOF Delta Cup 2016" "I am extremely happy to see many familiar faces here. It is very motivating to know that the formula of challenge founded by COL Drumowicz (the CO of AGAT POLSOF unit) is successfully developing and more and more competitors are coming here – the COL Pietras, POLSOF deputy commander, said during the opening ceremony. The challenge was... challenging as it required remarkable shooting skills from the soldiers and law enforcement officers to qualify. The number of teams and individuals was extremely limited as every branch or service could only send two teams. Total 21 teams were on the ground from a dozen different branches. Most POLSOF units were present plus policemen from Katowice and Krakow Police SWAT (Polish: SPAP) teams, CBSP, two Border Guard teams, team from Treasure Department plus retired operators now acting in the "Szturman" (English: Assaulter) Foundation of Former Military & Law Enforcement Members. According to the earlier announcements, the novelty in 2016 edition was a night time team shooting which raised the bar. Competitors had to complete multiple different shooting stag- es, both individual and in pairs, with two guns (pistol and SMG) and, of course, in full gear. Targets were different – static and moving, paper and metal. Stances – all you can imagine. Accuracy and the completion time were most important. The unfavorable stances and tactical conditions were increasing the difficulties. The shooting stages were build in similar man- ner to the IPSC ones but the rules were more "tactical" - stay behind the cover (75% of the body must be behind the cover) and working in buddy-teams was required. So, the communi- cations and close distance between each of team members had to be maintained. www.fragoutmag.com
