ABOUT US
Who stands behind neoPATRON?
His name is Michal Vavrečka and (for reasons we don’t even know :) he is nicknamed "AlwaysSecond". Shooting isn’t just his job – it’s been his lifestyle for more than 25 years. He first represented the Czech Republic in IPSC shooting back in 2006 and many times since then. Over the years, he has collected 14 Czech Vice-Champion titles and stood on the bronze podium 13 times. He hasn't missed out on Presidential Medals from international competitions in Germany, Poland, Hungary, and Slovakia... yet the Czech gold still eludes him. That’s just how it goes; gold usually belongs to those who sacrifice everything to a single discipline and excel in it. At one point, he was actively competing in up to 14 different disciplines. Because of that, he wasn't "the absolute peak" in one, but rather a versatile all-rounder. However, the knowledge gained across these disciplines helped him immensely in business... and he is happy to share it with you, so it can help you now as well.

OVER 25 YEARS OF SHOOTING STAND BEHIND EVERY PIECE OF MY ADVICE
Most e-shops just sell boxes, and their advice is based more on stock levels than experience. At neoPATRON, we sell experience gained since 2003, when I started shooting. When you call me regarding a product you're unsure about, you won't just get a catalog answer. You’ll get real-world knowledge I’ve gained by using similar products, testing them to failure, or winning matches with them.
Why shop at neoPATRON:
- Knowledge beyond the sport. Recommendations from real-world practice
I’ve gone through 14 different shooting disciplines – from handgun and shotgun to rifle, dynamic shooting, clay pigeons, long-range, and small-bore rifle. I know what works for each discipline and what will help you under the pressure of seconds or for extreme precision. If a product doesn't work for me, I won't offer it to you. - Specialization in AR-15 rifles and shooting accessories
The AR-15 platform is my passion. I can build these rifles from A to Z, and I even design my own accessories for them. I understand their functionality, but also their "soul." When you need upgrade advice, you’re talking to someone who has actually tested those triggers and components, not someone who has just read a lot about them. - Shooting "curiosity seeker" and experimenter
I enjoy pushing boundaries. I have several unofficial "records" under my belt, such as shooting at a small target at 700 meters using only iron sights, or shooting without any sighting device and similar "stunts." This curiosity has taught me to understand ballistics and firearm mechanics far beyond the level of an average shooter. - Tradition and a strong background
I have been in the business of selling firearms and ammunition since 2008. Over the years, we became direct importers and representatives of leading global brands. neoPATRON, founded in 2025, is just the next step on this long journey. neoPATRON is a place where we combine top-tier global products with top-tier know-how... but above all, with a friendly, helpful approach.
