Congratulations Nils very impressive. masterly performance. I am also a sports shooter and also shoot Canik. This year I won gold twice at the German Championships. You are a role model for many shooters in Germany.

[@NilsJonasson]

Thank you very much. Congratulations on your performances!

[@MyIsot]

@@NilsJonasson Thank you very much.

[@seraphim2525]

Nice job😃 And thank you for putting up the stage plan graphics with your runs, that’s awesome🤗

[@NilsJonasson]

Thanks. Does that make it easier to figure out what’s going on?

[@seraphim2525]

@@NilsJonasson Absolutely🙌🏾 Stage planning is one of my weaknesses, so watching you run it and then thinking about how I would’ve run it(WRONG historically😂)is really helpful👍🏾

Hi Nils, greetings from South Africa. Am a huge fan of you. Love watching your videos and learning from you. Hope you will come to South Africa for the next world shoot in 2025. Would be great to see in live action and hopefully a chance to get to meet you in person. Keep up the Good work,......PS.....Canik all the way whoop whoop!!!!

[@NilsJonasson]

Thanks! I’m definitely planning on attending the 2025 WS. Hope to see you there.

Thanks Todd. Was a fun match.

Super inspirational! Great work!

Thanks so much!

[@stovepipe8966]

Congrats ! Watching the footwork - at 6’2 I need to use my stride length more to my advantage sometimes

[@NilsJonasson]

We definitely can’t run around like the 5 foot chipmunks out there. Have to use what we can to our advantage.

[@jamesfuqua9833]

@@NilsJonasson hey whats wrong with us 5' chipmunks 🤣 great shooting bro!

[@johnkoppi1960]

Nils you are my role model, if only I was 6'5" :)

[@NilsJonasson]

Yeah, me too…

[@dcho28]

That draw and grip purchase is insane

[@NilsJonasson]

Thanks.

[@dcho28]

@@NilsJonasson makes me want to convert to a scoop draw 🔥

[@TimDegnan]

Congrats, on another win! What is the factory holster you are using? I assume it is kydex, but I can't seem to find it on the Canik site.

Aloha from Hawaii's 2A community 🤙🏽

[@jplapointe9]

Nice 👍🏽

[@NilsJonasson]

Thanks.

[@NEbirdHunter]

Great shooting... Just wondering if you can share what (if any) modifications you have made to your Canik Rival? I saw you changed your spring to a 14lbs, anything else you would recommend? Trigger, weighted backstrap, guide rod, grip tape? Also, what weight and speed of round are you shooting ? thanks

[@joeynoodles86]

Hey Nils great shooting. After watching you shoot previously I picked up a Canik Rival S. I love the gun but I'm having some issues with it. Have you encountered any faults with yours or as a sponsored shooter do you get firearms that have been thoroughly inspected and cleared good to go?

[@NilsJonasson]

All my guns come from the same place yours do. If anything’s wrong with your canik, customer service will take care of you.

[@GlockHolliday]

They're having a lot of issues with mag retention, ftf, cycling, feed ramps, etc. I sent mine to Canik in May and just got a replacement firearm only after contacting the BBB. Before that, I was in limbo with zero customer support. So good luck.

[@sheldonsmith44]

What red dot are you running? Great shooting!

[@NilsJonasson]

This is going to be Canik's new competition red dot, but it isn't available just yet.

[@jesseclausse6208]

What dot are you running?

[@NilsJonasson]

A new optic Canik is developing for competition. Not available just yet. 😉

[@buddysumner4022]

Respect to nils and his canik,

[@NilsJonasson]

Thanks

[@johndunbar1678]

When was this match?

[@NilsJonasson]

End of May.

[@aussieexpat]

Are you ONLY scoop drawing? And congrats! Well deserved!

[@NilsJonasson]

I do both. If there’s movement from the start position to the first target, I’ll usually snatch draw.

[@brianj3626]

It’s funny…I shot those exact same stages and it looked nothing like that! Lol 😅

[@NilsJonasson]

Lol!

[@JohnMcClain]

How does someone like me get faster and more accurate?

[@NilsJonasson]

Well, YOU need to grip your single stack better.

Stage 4 RO doesn't feel the need to wear hearing protection, eh?
