Pedersoli Celebrates MLAIC World Cup Success

In a facebook post shared early this fall, Davide Pedersoli & Co. celebrated their muzzleloaders and the marksmen that used them to place at the 2022 MLAIC World Cup. In total, 26 medals were taken with Pedersoli Guns, 8 Gold, 8 Silver, and 10 Bronze.

“Pedersoli was proud to be represented in the field. Honoring all medal winners who competed with our models. Here we list some of them:

  • Peter Kaepenick, GOLD in the MICHELET discipline, totaling 97/100 with the AN IX musket.

  • Kilian Fich, SILVER in the WHITWORTH YOUTH discipline, scoring 91/100 with the Gibbs rifle.

  • Martin Zurek, SILVER in the VETTERLI YOUTH discipline, totaling 96/100 with the Tryon rifle.

  • Martin Crix, SILVER in the LORENZONI discipline, hitting 47 clays out of 50 with the Gibbs shotgun 12ga.

  • Tamas Dobos, SILVER in the MANTON discipline, hitting 42 clays out of 50 with the Mortimer flintlock 12ga.

The best representation of Pedersoli's presence was at the podium in the Pennsylvania discipline, where all three of the following competed with the Swiss Match flintlock rifle:

  • Mathieu Ducellier, GOLD, scoring 99/100.

  • Walter Massing, SILVER, scoring 98/100.

  • Nemeth Balazs, BRONZE, scoring 97/100.

Heartfelt congratulations to the organizers, the support staff, the journalists and obviously all the participants, who once again demonstrated how passion and stubbornness can take us everywhere, overcome prejudices, and defeat fears.”

Pedersoli was hit particularly hard by COVID in Italy and the impacts are still being felt. These wins with Pedersoli rifles will surely lift spirits throughout the company.
