I would love to try this one! But I already signed myself up for the Pacos Tx run n gun also around the same time this year.
I"m game to give it a go next year if anyone else wants to as well. Start training & saving for it! But I bet if AZHTF puts the collective head together, I bet its possible to come up with a shooting event that could meet almost everyones interest, and end up being a really great event! Maybe not 2015, but 2016? Have a AZHTF meeting w/ anyone who is interested, maybe a BBQ. Start talking & planning. I would love to incorporate something for returning Vets / Wounded Warrior type shoots. I know maybe too ambitious at this time, but just a thought I have going through my head.

We are discussing holding a couple mini-events in AZ leading up to this one, that will help teams that want to go to the main event.

I also think that having more time for some competition like the last time, except do it after lunch and call the range cold, would be another good time to talk to people while the course is being set up. Sorry Sinistral, didn't mean to hijack your thread, sir. |

We are hoping to have events in Southern and Northern Arizona before the main event in Texas where teams can try out some of the challenges and the best team at each event can get sponsored (entry fees paid) by a company to go to the event in Texas.

Quoted:
This match will be heavy on team effort and decision making. Each team will be given time to look at and analyze each stage to best complete it using each persons skill sets. No obstacle should require assistance to get over if you in reasonable shape. That being said, working together may speed up your time and is allowed for everything. The round count is a minimum for targets down range. |

Thanks guys!
Karl chills out waiting on the vehicle ambush stage 
My rifle fit well on the left side of my Ford Fusion. 
Last stage from the 60 foot tower. 18 rounds to make 9 hits per shooter. We cleaned it with the fastest time.

The first two stages were fairly simple aside from everyone's glasses fogging up badly.
Stage 1 Huey Down Stage 2 lots of steel Stage 3 obstacle course. We opted to skip the 6 foot and 8 foot walls because the penalty was only 30 seconds for each prop. I think we could have done the 6 foot, but figuring out the technique on the clock would likely take longer than 30 seconds. The RO has a hard time keeping up calling our hits on steel here, you'll notice we got more hits then necessary then simultaneously neutralized the last target. Stage 4 Vehicle Ambush Stage 5 Jail Break

Here's what Karl had to say about the match:
Karl Kasarda
This was the best team match yet at TJ's Tiger Valley facility. A few of the stages were absolutely dedicated to designated marksman type shooting and tasks, these are things that are quite difficult to reproduce for yourself in regards to practice and training. Shooting from the 5th floor of a tower at a rather extreme angle down to 1/2 IPSC steel targets on the clock out to over 300 yards is something you need to experience and, in my opinion, learn from. Each and every stage at this event was interesting not only competitively but also as a test of your skills, equipment and as a learning experience. I highly recommend that anyone interested in using competition as a tool to improve martial shooting skills should absolutely attend these matches at Tiger Valley. I frankly am astonished that these events aren't full every year. |

I can tell you why events like this do not fill up.
It's fear. Too many people in the "tactical" community are afraid to try something difficult. Failure to easily bruises the ego of people who will not invest in training and the testing of abilities. Strange how ego gets in the way of some people bettering themselves. |
