Aimpoint shooter Amelie Eichinger-Noll wins Ladies Division at Lynx Brutality
Aimpoint shooter Amelie Eichinger-Noll, known as @amy9x19 on Instagram, delivered a strong performance at Lynx Brutality, finishing first in the Ladies Division and 21st overall among 116 competitors.
Lynx Brutality is a demanding two-gun match held on May 29–30 at the Lynx Pro Training Center in Kočevje, Slovenia. The competition consists of ten stages combining physical effort and shooting skill. Competitors are tested under pressure, with movement, exertion, obstacles and challenging shooting positions adding to the difficulty of each stage.
For Eichinger-Noll, the result marked a personal milestone.
“I am very happy with the result. Winning the Ladies Division and finishing 21st overall is a great achievement for me personally, and also an improvement compared to previous years,” she said.
One of the things she was most proud of was completing every stage within the time limit. Each stage had a maximum time of 180 seconds, and Eichinger-Noll managed to finish all of them without timing out.
“That is something not everyone managed to do. I am proud that I pushed through every stage and performed as well as I could,” she said.
According to Eichinger-Noll, the biggest challenge at Lynx Brutality is maintaining shooting performance after physical exertion.
“You are physically challenged, and then you still need to deliver precise shooting. I may not be the most athletic person, but I can rely 100 percent on my shooting performance. In the end, the result speaks for itself,” she said.
In a match where small mistakes can have a major impact, trust in equipment also becomes part of the performance. Eichinger-Noll used Aimpoint optics during the competition and said reliability was essential across different distances and demanding situations.
“In strenuous or uncomfortable situations, I need to be able to rely completely on the products I use, whether it is firearms or optics. At matches like this, there is no room for things that do not work,” she said.
This year, she also used a magnifier at Lynx Brutality for the first time, something she described as a clear advantage.
“It made the work easier and more comfortable, and I felt that it improved my performance,” she said.
Eichinger-Noll is now continuing her training ahead of her next competition, Czech Combat, in July. The match will bring a different type of challenge, with more tactical stages and new ways of applying her skills.
“It is something different, and I am really looking forward to it. It gives me the chance to look beyond the usual routines and apply my skills in another context,” she said.
