The United States Helice Association (USHA) proudly celebrates the exceptional performance of its athletes at the 35th World Helice Championships and the accompanying Grand Prix of Italy, held in September 2025 at the historic Tiro A Volo Ghedi shooting club in Ghedi, Italy.
With 44 shooters, the USHA delegation ranked among the largest contingents—second only to the host nation, Italy—in a highly competitive field of 358 participants representing 12 countries, including eight national teams across the multi-day events.
This outstanding showing culminated in an impressive display at the closing ceremonies, where 19 USHA shooters ascended the podium, with several earning multiple honors. Key highlights include:
David Blanc claimed victory in the Veterans Division of the prestigious Beretta Cup (awarded based on cumulative results from multiple international events throughout the season).
Will Chisum secured a tie for third place in the Men’s Division of the Beretta Cup.
In the Grand Prix of Italy, Dino Manuel earned a silver medal with a strong second-place finish.
Robin Forsythe triumphed in the Seniors Division of the President’s Cup, one of the key preliminary events.
At the pinnacle of the competition—the World Championships—Macie Page captured Gold in the Ladies Division.
The USHA Juniors delivered exceptional results, with Andy Shahidi winning Gold and Wyatt Smith securing Bronze.
These achievements underscore the growing strength, depth, and international competitiveness of American Helice shooting. The USHA extends heartfelt congratulations to all members of the delegation for representing the United States with distinction on the world stage. Your dedication and skill continue to elevate the sport! 🎯.
