Unrelated, but how physically demanding is Cola Warrior? I do a ton of backpacking and such, but I've never done any of the extreme physical challenges (tough mudder, ect) and would probably be embarrassingly bad at it. If you back pack, you'll rule. Show up and grab yourself a free geissele upper. |

I can't remember if he was the one who set the torch down or had it mounted to the rifle. But, uh, my memory can't be trusted. It was all very fuzzy at CWE4 at night. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Do you have a pic of your rig? I was wondering how you turn on your OTAL and IR light at the same time But, uh, my memory can't be trusted. It was all very fuzzy at CWE4 at night. Did the same thing at west II but it wasn't really necessary out there. Wasn't a ton of ambient light but enough that the pistol targets were easy to find. At east the trees really knock down the ambient light. I don't have a remote for it or my cqbl as so far I have only used them at competitions and events where ir light discipline wasn't an issue. They get turned on when I start shooting and turned off when I'm done. I've never been to classic, but texas, georgia, and Virginia are extremely doable with a civilian laser, illuninator, and helmet mounted pvs14. West... I know people have cleaned the rifle course with that setup, but I am not among their number. Hitting plates at 400 yards with a laser in the wind is currently well above my pay grade. I haven't had a ton of opportunity to shoot in the dark outside of cw events so I barely know what constant offset is. I'm considering a rifle mounted thermal or ir clip on for the next west. |

I'd just do what I usually do if I were you. It's going to suck either way. Might as well suck at everything else while being in your comfort zone gear wise. Might also want to get yourself acclimated to puking. That goes for both the timed run and the after party.
But seriously, it was my experience playing with other peoples gear at Cola Warrior that lead me to nods.

Let me preface this with I am the last person you should ask for advice on wizardeyeing CW, my last place or damn near finishes prove that.
CWW2 I used a PVS14 on a helmet with a CQBL on my rifle and a x400v on my pistol and couldn't see or hit shit. CWW3 I had a set of Anvis on my helmet with a CQBL on my rifle and an x400v on my pistol and the fucking x400v broke off and I couldn't see or hit rifle targets but could clearly see the pistol targets, I just couldn't aim at them.  (seeing a pattern here?) Now I have a Clipon NVG for my CWAR, at my current rate of progression, I should take 3rd from last at CWW4. lol.

I used a X400V IR-C and PVS-14 for the pistol portion at CWW3, it got me a 6 second mount for the Glock.
The AR has an OTAL, but I use a PVS-22 in front of TA-31RCO. I also have a SPIR for illumination, but it had problems.
It took me a while to get all the ninja shit turned on and adjusted this year, next year I'm turning everything on and getting it focused before throwing it in the tub. I want to replace the OTAL and SPIR with the single spectrum DBAL. |
