Usually the Plzen week starts with operation "deaf barber" as many other
foreign competition: it is adventure to let ones hair cut with no common
language. The best to do it in Plzen is Hairstudio FLIRT!



The beautiful bulevard is seen from the balcony of Hotel Slovan.


Parades and ceremonies belongs to military championships.


Everyday starts with shared, nutrition rich breakfast in the restaurant
of the shooting centre.


Before and after shootings the coaches and shooters have open
discussions about what to do and think in the firing line!
