In....
What an awesome event.

I had a blast, did much better than my previous cola appearances, made new friends, saw old ones, ran wet combat, and got fed like a king!!!!

Thx to Cessnap, all the staff and the range owner....it was fun...

Thanks everyone who made this happen. It was super fun and I finally got Top Night!

I have some thermal vids to post whenever I get time to do them.

I'll post pics some time later too.

Was a super good time. Will post more photos soon.

Congrats Mustangduckk!

Looks like another great event!

Awesome!

Nice job, duck!

Sorry your had to drop man, it was a great event and you were missed.

Thanks to Cessnap, staff, kitchen team, RevTac, sponsors, and everyone else that makes these things what they are.

The Geissele family and the rest of the sponsors were incredibly generous with the prizes as always.

What a great event!  If anyone is on the fence about going to one of these, I promise you won’t regret making it happen.  

More pics inbound soon.

Also, BinaryOperator deserves commendations for absolutely smoking everyone at the .22 charity side match at both day and night. I think I could have ran that back to back all night, and there’s no way I was beating his 17 flat at night, in plates.

Well done!

Maybe Rob got some pics or video under thermal?

14th place.  

I couldn’t do the rope, even though I had practiced that. Much disappoint.  2+3 were great obstacles. Really enjoyed them.  I was still winded from sled drag so my actual run was pathetic.  Need to work on cardio recovery.  Shooting was fun.  Curtis was a great RO.  Sodas caught a little sunshine and were much warmer than I’d like.  10 mins of penalty there.  Ugh. Heckling was good and consistent for all runners, but after doing 12 of these events I can tune y’all out even though you are trying hard.  lol

Once again, great event!  Very nice facility. Food was outstanding and the people there were even better.   Host’s parents were there helping out.   It was like having grandma on staff, but her job was making sure you got enough to eat. Lol

The event was run very efficiently.  Strong work.  

I would highly recommend that you put HL 3 on your to-do list for 2023.  I know I will.  

All the swag that followed me home.

Another great cola war in the books!

Congrats to Mustangdukk, Boobaloo, and DirtyHandsRob on your respective wins. Well earned and well done!

Big Thanks to Cessnap for hosting and Rev-Tac for letting us use their excellent range facilities.

Also thanks to staff, for your hard work keeping things running smoothly, and to all the sponsors for their incredible generosity.

To all the cola bros and sisters, you’re what makes cola warrior such an incredible event, I miss all of you already and looking forward to cola warring with you in the future. I love you cola warriors!

Finally got the elusive (to me) clean run and did it running combat class which makes it even more rewarding, still improvements to be made though, and the hunt for a top 10 continues.  

Thanks ORJeepdude for getting some good pics of my run.

Esstac Daeodon is best combat class PC and OG ATF/C store hat best run hat.

Looks like an awesome time. Super jealous.

The heckler!

Congrants on the win @MustangDuckk!

Rob may have thermal video; there may also be some video on the Sionyx someone handed Rob that I was intermittently recording with while you guys were running the .22 match. I don't know who owns the Sionyx.

Big thanks to host, staff, kitchen crew, donors and sponsors for another great Cola!!!

Thanks to the hosts, range owner, staff, sponsors, and fellow warriors.  Another great event and weekend with awesome people.

Duck- I have your run recorded. I’ll get it uploaded and share the links.

Wish you could’ve made it.

Why is the Malort bottle full ?

Glad to help

Had a great time hanging out with all you silly gooses.  Sucked to go to work on thursday but was great to come back to see everything had been running smooth as silk.  Had a rough run but found things I want to work hard on to improve myself.  Even with my terrible run I was able to bring home a ssae-x which I am really excited about and can't wait to get out to the range to try.

Kimbo had a good time and only yelled at me for eating too much once or twice.  After getting back home we played with other scopes in the safe and think after some more range time she will get her first rifle target.  I will go through more pictures and post up with some videos later.

Well, how bad was it really since you, m35ben and myself finished off the bottle?

Another incredible event in the books.

Huge thanks to RevTac for having us and allowing all the misery.  Staff kept runners smiling and made sure we had a great event.  Big big thanks to Cess's parents for helping to keep us fed and the kitchen clean.  Your efforts did not go unnoticed.

HDLS and Baja are chefs in the kitchen!  Can't forget Cess Chili and cinnamon rolls...which we definitely don't eat together in Texas (but I love it).  Can you imagine a resturant where only Cola Warrior food is sold?  It would crush the competition bigly.

Thank you to all of our sponsors!  We appreciate all of the prizes and I really enjoy getting the custom/one-off prizes.

Congrats to Mustangdukk for the win (Did you know this was his first daytime run?).  You deserve it man.  You'll notice in my run video that I experienced a ton of rifle malfunctions.  Not sure what's going on there.  We diagnosed I have some worn gas rings on the bolt, and the rifle needs a good clean/lube, but I'm not sure that's the whole story.  I'll need to take the rifle apart and figure out what's going on.

Cola Warrior is so fun.  Glad to hang with some old friends and make new ones.  Great job to the noobs that showed up and cleared obstacle 0.  See y'all around!

This was an incredible event from the moment we pulled into the range to the time we left. Huge thanks to Cessnap for running the show. The sponsors donations boggled my mind as always. All the staff were great, and big thanks as well to the ROs, even the mean one. Gotta thank HDLS and Bajagringo for all the cooking, GA hunter for the smoked pork butts, Grandma and Piper for all the food service, and I'm probably missing others here but I tried to say thank you in person to everyone. Food was great at every meal. This was my brother's first event, and he said he expected more like powdered eggs and a burned piece of bacon like he got in the army. The chili and tortillas and pulled pork and brisket and everything else kinda blew him away lol.

Weather was perfect, the location was absolutely gorgeous, and the company was... OK, I guess

Congrats to mustangduckk, Boobaloo and FlirtyHandsRob for their respective wins.

Cant wait for next year (and not using a LaRue trigger ever again btw), this was definitely one of my favorite events ever. My brother is hooked too, has been asking about the next Cola already and we'll be getting his new mk16 rail set up soon.

I can do a brisket again next year. Or wings and ribs. Or both?  Smoked wings and ribs are fabulous

I would like to point out that I have a 100% win ratio during the day.

Hope you were able to grab a trigger of the table. Love my trigger in my rifle.

Now I need to get an ADM lower and receiver to go with my cola rail.

Ahhhhhh! I didn't know who did the brisket. Man, it was excellent so thank you!

Yes to all questions above plz and thx

I've got several Gs from prior events but for whatever reason I missed swapping one into this gun. I've done my last 3 or 4 runs with an SSA-E and will do that 100% going forward.

Thanks!  I was worried about reheating it up and drying out. Turned out pretty good even by my standards with smoking meats
