The red dust of Hurricane, Utah has settled, and a new champion has been crowned. We are incredibly proud to announce that Pavol Zencar Jr. (@pavolzencar.jr) has secured 1st Place Overall in the Practical Division at the 2025 PCSL 2-Gun Nationals.
Competing against some of the best shooters in the United States, Pavol proved that his transition from the European IPSC circuit to the high-octane American 2-gun format was seamless. His performance was a masterclass in consistency, athleticism, and raw speed.
A New Challenge in the Utah Desert
The PCSL (Practical Competition Shooting League) is rapidly becoming the premier discipline for shooters who crave a blend of physical challenge and marksmanship. Unlike traditional static competitions, the 2025 Nationals pushed athletes to their limits with dynamic movement, complex stage designs, and the rugged terrain of the Southern Utah Practical Shooters (SUPS) range.
Pavol, already a decorated IPSC PCC World Champion, faced a new beast in the Utah desert.
“It was absolutely worth the trip,” Pavol told us after the match. “The level of competition was very high, the stages were a perfect blend of raw speed and precision, and the atmosphere was incredible. PCSL brings a fresh challenge to dynamic shooting sports, and I’m sure it will get its foothold back in Europe as well.”
The “Practical” Edge: Situational Awareness
Winning in the Practical Division isn’t just about how fast you can pull the trigger; it’s about how fast you can process information. In an environment filled with the roar of unsuppressed rifles, the beep of timers, and the crucial calls of Range Officers (ROs), your hearing is your second most important sense after your vision.
To maintain his peak mental state, Pavol relied on the EARMOR M31 Plus Tactical Headset.
In the high-stress environment of the PCSL Nationals, the M31 Plus provided Pavol with a critical advantage: Unbroken Focus.
Why Pro Shooters Like Pavol Choose M31 Plus:
- Elite Noise Suppression: The M31 Plus features advanced waveform suppression technology that cuts off dangerous gunshot noise (above 82dB) in less than 1 millisecond. For a competitor running high-velocity rifle rounds, this instant protection is vital to prevent auditory fatigue over a multi-day match.
- Hyper-Realistic Audio: While it blocks the “bang,” the M31 Plus amplifies the details. Its 360° situational awareness allowed Pavol to clearly hear steel hits at distance and RO commands without removing his headset.
- All-Day Comfort: The upgraded Gel Ear Cushions form a tight but comfortable seal. In the dusty, sweaty heat of Hurricane, Utah, equipment discomfort is a distraction no shooter can afford. The M31 Plus stayed secure during every sprint, slide, and prone position.
- Interference-Free: With its EMI/RFI shielding, the headset ensures crystal-clear audio even near electronic timers and communication devices, ensuring no static ruined his concentration.
Conclusion
Pavol Zencar Jr.’s victory at the 2025 PCSL 2-Gun Nationals is a testament to his dedication and skill. He didn’t just visit the US to compete; he came to conquer.
