The Ukrainian duo lost only to Turkish representatives Shevval Ilaidi Tarhan and Yusuf Dikeç.
The French shooters Theo Mochko and Kamiy Yedrzejewski won the bronze medal.
The H&N Cup will run until January 26.
As The Gaze previously reported, Turkish shooter Yusuf Dikeç became a global sensation and social media star after his performance at the Paris Olympics. He won a silver medal in the 10-meter air pistol mixed team event.
Fans were impressed by the shooter's relaxed behavior during the competition. Dikech refused to use special equipment and competed with his regular glasses on. He also stood in a relaxed pose with his hand in his pocket.
The Turkish athlete's success became the subject of humorous posts and memes that garnered hundreds of thousands of likes on social media. A photo of Yusuf Dikeç with a gun and his hand in his pocket went viral.
The image of Yusuf Dikeç also reminded many people of the character of John Wick, played by Keanu Reeves.
