CZ is proud to announce a new partnership with Ace Virtual Shooting (AceVR) to introduce an innovative virtual reality controller modeled after the iconic CZ Shadow 2. Launching today, this collaboration brings the precision, ergonomics, and competitive spirit of one of the world's most celebrated competition pistols into an immersive digital training environment.
"We're always looking for new ways to connect shooters with the CZ experience," said Chris Sprangers, Director of Marketing for CZ. "Partnering with AceVR allows us to bring the Shadow 2 into a completely new space one that's accessible, engaging, and rooted in skill development. It's an exciting step forward for both brands."
Designed to replicate the feel and handling characteristics of the CZ Shadow 2, the AceVR controller offers users a highly realistic training and recreational shooting experience within virtual environments. This innovation provides both seasoned competitors and new shooters with a unique opportunity to refine skills, improve reaction time, and engage with the sport in a safe and dynamic format.
To celebrate the launch, CZ and AceVR will showcase the new controller at the 2026 NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits (NRAAM). Attendees are invited to visit CZ booth #2223, where AceVR will host a dedicated activation space within the booth. Participants can test their skills on the AceVR system and compete to beat the high score for a chance to win exclusive prizes.
Throughout the event, top performers will have the opportunity to win an AceVR controller and a CZ Shadow 2 pistol, reinforcing the connection between real-world performance and virtual training.
