ETA: Are dogs welcome at the site? I want to camp Friday night so I don't need to leave really early saturday, but I can't leave my dog at home alone that long. Leashed dogs welcome. Dog's master must clean up after dog. Awesome, thanks for the info. Looks like I'll be able to camp Friday night then. |

<a href="https://imageshack.com/i/ip5WbjNzj" target="_blank">http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/673/5WbjNz.jpg</a> Mag pouches – I don’t have the “cool guy” pouches but I’ve been using the USMC “Fireforce” pouches on my ATS Warbelt with good results. The pouches can be had for $7 or less if you look around. What I like about them is they will hold AR mags (2), HK91 mags (1) and AK74 mags (1) securely. I’m sure they would hold the M14 mags (1) as they are a little smaller than G3 mags. View Quote That setup will be good to go. As much as I enjoy shooting irons, I am a huge fan of the acog too. Especially for something like this. Built tough. Small form factor , kinda idiot proof with no knobs to get rolled accidentally with clear glass and 4x is just enough to power through close vegetation as well as overcome my eyesight slipping away a little when my body is tired. A big fan here. For rifle, I'm running same setup I took to Oklahoma this summer. 18" rifle length gas with magpul fixed stock with ta31. The only thing I'm not 100% settled on is the sling. I actually carried a single point bungee as well as the rifle craft rs1 in OK. Really the only time I used the single point was on their stage two which had an optional transition. Long story, but the wheels popped off for me on that stage and I ended up sticking my muzzle in the mud since it was hanging down and there was a transition to prone for the last shot (with a pistol for me) There is a lot I like about the rifle craft sling but its not really a fast transition from rifle to pistol for instance, like it would be with a 2 point like proctor or vtac, etc... Still experimenting with it. I know for sure it helped me on the 500y rifle stage and several other instances where I could essentially "loop up" with it to steady my shot. That part is very quick to get into.. Much faster than gi web. The great thing about these types of events is getting to actually stress test this stuff and see how it works. If you think about it, bring those pouches, I'd like to check them out. I think Al runs some g3 two mag carriers. I need to see how those work for him as well. |

Did a Walking Dead marathon last night. I am so ready for this.
Do you think you could do the pistol stages with a cross bow? |

You can use a lever action rifle and revolver if you wish, but no bow/arrow combos. The pace of the pistol stages requires fast moving and firing to not time-out on the stage. Plus you would not be able to retrieve your fired arrows. I would sometime like to see if my Cold Steel Carbon V LTC Kukri can actually sever a limb, but I won't be doing that testing at the BRZD event. |

Leaving for Davilla tonight.
At the moment there seems to be rain forecast for Saturday. Hopefully that will change. Particpants might consider bringing a cleaning kit to carry. We had heavy rain (remnants of that Pacific hurricane) at the Pecos Run and Gun a few weeks ago - one rifle went kaboom and the popular theory was mud in the barrel. |

I started my run at 10:05 and the rain stopped and it started drying out by the time I got to stage 5 I think. It was still very muddy, especially down the tractor tires and in the trench. It was awesome though.

The trail was a mudhole by 1215. The creek was mud a couple inches deep. Most of the trails weren't too deep but were still really slippery. I was wearing running shoes, and after the tread filled with mud they had almost no traction. It made running really sketchy.
|
|
[#49]
On the find sofia course I was basically pulling myself through the course using the trees for grip. Which was fun. I was too worried about getting mud in my bbl the whole course and that slowed me down.
|
|
[#50]
I was wearing Rocky C4T's thinking I would run the majority of the course. They offered little traction, I often slid down into the creek bed or had difficulty making it up any slope like when crossing the paved road or climbing out of the tunnel. I was extra cautious about not sticking my muzzle in the dirt too. I think the mud added to the experience though.
