Marek Děngl

As the owner, I've been with the company since the very beginning. And I'm proud of it. We have managed to start a dedicated e-shop with weapons with zbrane-vzduchovky.cz, production of our own optics with Valiant and now Balistas, which combines marksmanship and an active outdoor lifestyle. When I'm not tending to guns and work, I'm with my family or playing sports. My soft spot and passion is cars.

Versenylövői pályafutásom 2011-es befejezése után – 10 méteres futócéllövészet és 50 méteres kiskaliberű puskalövészet – Marekkel megalapítottuk a zbrane-vzduchovky.cz-t. A projekten a mai napig dolgozom. Ugyanakkor örülök, hogy létrejött a Balistas is, ahol társtulajdonos és nagykereskedelmi vezető vagyok. Rendelésekkel, beszállítókkal, műszaki kérdésekkel és javításokkal foglalkozom. Munka után a családommal töltöm az időt, szeretek sportolni, vagy a közlekedési repülésről olvasni, amelyet nagyra tartok.

Tras terminar mi carrera como tirador deportivo en 2011, compitiendo en diversas categorías como tiro a blanco móvil a 10 m y tiro con carabina a 50 m, Marek y yo fundamos zbrane-vzduchovky.cz. Este proyecto sigue activo hoy en día. Me alegro de que Balistas, proyecto del cual soy copropietario y director comercial, haya tenido éxito. Manejo pedidos, proveedores, consultas técnicas, reparaciones, etc. Mi tiempo libre lo paso con mi familia, practicando deportes o leyendo sobre aviación comercial, un tema que me apasiona.
