Wow, that looked rough.......in a fun sadistic way.
So how far were the runs between stages? 10k total? Awesome job BTW. |

I'm in the 10K. This is going to be AWESOME!!!
Before my ever patient and lovely wife wife gave me the go-ahead to signup, I had to prove to that I could make 10K so I rucked for 7.2 miles with a 20lb plate. I signed up for Lightfighter but the voices in my head are yelling ..... "Go Tier 1". I've been rucking with 50lbs and am up to 4.2 miles. I'm figuring I have to be able to carry 65lbs when the guns and stuff are all tallied up. 65lbs may be 10lbs too much for me. Are you guys going to run or walk? I'm walking. See you guys there. I'll be the one with the big smile having the time of his life. |

I'll be running (most of the way). Be sure and look me up. I'll be ROing or doing some other important task.

The video was great. Even tbough it was your first one, you made it look like you had been doing these events all along. I haven't done one yet, but really want to try one. I don't have a chest rig. Did you feel like it got in the way when you had to do the crawling obstacles?

Thanks for the reply! I guess "chest rig" is probably the wrong description for the vest/mag holder you had on. Looks like you were able to crawl effortlessly with it on without dirt and mud messing up the mags on the front, and they didn't seem to interfere with you shooting prone. I only mention these observations as I try to figure out what I would need to finish an event like this, and your video is real helpful in that regard.

Anybody here do the 10k this week? A good friend of mine ran it and I followed taking pics and vid. Almost non-stop rain. It was a glorious mess.

Yes. Did it look as hard as it felt?
This was the best match ever. The stage design was light years ahead of anything Ive seen in USPSA. If awards were given out for creativity and challenge all 7 stages would win I hope you can post your pictures. I've got stories about each one and that hill. THAT HILL ..... It felt endless and with the rain and fogged up glasses I had no idea how far it was to the top. It messed with my mind. |

In all seriousness, it looked rough yet fun as hell. The first stage set the tone. I am definitely doing the 10k next year. I'll get some pics up after work today. |

That first stage was kick right square in the nuts; then that climb out of the "hole" back to the road, then the climb up the road . . . . Hell, I think the entire course was uphill.
It was my first RO job (at a match of this scale). The amount of work that goes in to put one of these on is incredible. You need to thank Matt Stennett for his hard work. |

A tough course. I did the 15k in March, and this 10k seemed worse. Of course, I was carrying a lot more ammo and wearing rifle plates this time. That didn’t help.

A shot from the stage I was RO’ing. Shooters had to wade through a waist-deep pond to get to the stage.

If a person only trains on the flat range, in good weather, they have no idea how their body, their equipment, and their mind will perform when truly challenged. |

How do you find out about these? This looks awesome! I came into this forum tonight to ask about long range shooting and long distance running combination races, but I'm really interested in any kind of shooting competition (other than standard biathalon) that involves longer distance running.

As for long distance running, most of the ones here in TX are 10K, with the WTF biathlon near Waco offering both a 10K and a 5K sprint. I think there's one in Pawnee, OK that even offers both a 10K and a 20K, or at least it used to. |

Do events get posted here in advance or is there a link I can follow that compiles the information.
I don’t FB so that won’t work for me. |

The 5k sold out in 5 minutes and the 10 in 17 hours. Also I appear to have been squaded. No idea what that entails.

Quote HistoryQuoted: If you're doing these events for prizes, you're doing them for the wrong reasons. I've never seen anything on a prize table worth the friendships and experience I gain at a Run n' Gun. Many on ARFCOM are familiar with the nutty light hearted the CW group has. For a shooting event, a run and gun would be WAY better. |
