Huge thanks to esstac for loaning me night vision to score the night runners.

I merely mentioned to Stu that my poorvs14 isn't the best for scoring night runs. Without hesitation, he hands me 40k dollar panos to use for the entire weekend.

Tripled my net worth the second I put them on

Thanks for all that showed up to NW5, great to see old friends and meet new ones!

Had no expectations for this year's run, being 8.5 months pregnant I was just happy to be able to do so. Getting 34/50...some of you need to put in some work!

Wish I would have cleared pistol, I jinxed myself on that, but other than that happy with my run and can't wait till next year to hopefully redeem myself a bit from last years night run.

Congrats, all.

That's pretty amazing!!

I was not expecting that at all. That was awesome!

Not even a little bit embarrassed to have gotten smoked by you!

Great pictures, thanks for sharing

Wow.

Backstory?

I walked by a truck and saw a frozen riflecicle and took a pic.

You were using trash bags and tape as shoes, it was deserved

True

It was cold...

Classy women. Ended up taking this one home with me. I mean…she appeared to be going through some hard times and she seemed hungry.

What a blast I can't wait to hopefully not suck next year

Some say eating peeps off the ground is a low point. We think of it differently.  

Was great to see everyone. Congrats to the winners! I wasn't able to run the course but it was awesome to see everyone putting out their best.

Here's the whole thing.

Still worked fine I'd assume.

Thanks again to our wonderful sponsors, you continue to blow me out of the water with your generosity and support of cola warrior.

Mistakes were made, but hard work still pays off.

I'm pretty stoked to have the fastest night run this year. For obstacles/run/peep/AK I used a helmet mounted PVS-14. For handgun I used a Surefire x300V on a CZ 75 SP-01 with a Holosun 507C. For rifle, at 100 yards I used a Holosun LE117, and the TNVC Torch Pro III. Beyond that, I used the torch as an illuminator and used my helmet mounted PVS-14 behind my Nightforce NXS 2.5-10x42 day scope. I timed out on the last 2 targets though.

I was able to down 5 cans this year before ending my run.

I 100% need to spend more time shooting at night with this set up and I believe that would have given me the time to take the last 2 targets. I accidentally shut off my PVS-14 a few times from the rifle recoil hitting the shutoff button on the mount. Unfamiliarity cost me time while trying to find the button to be able to reset it.

Going forward i'm going to start doing combat class, and may do more night runs as well!

Yeah. I had almost a full mag left after my run so I went down to the range at the end of the morning and fired it off and everything was fine, although it had thawed out by then. The optic was unusable as pictured. The ice on the glass would not easily come off and obscured vision through it but at least it has a QD mount and BUIS. That side was and remains covered with dried mud under the ice, lol. Heading to the range soon for some more shooting before I clean it all up.

Awesome looking event guys !  Great job !

cool.

I hurt this morning.

How is that different than every morning?

You sure you didn't bring her home just for that upper?

Glad I finally got to make it to snowla.

Had fun, despite performing terribly. Good to see old frens & meet new peeps as always.

Congrats to the winners for putting in good work!

Also gotta shout out my husband for not only winning the chug off but also doing the best he's done. Funny how things work when you don't bring guns that you don't have zeroed.

Planning on coming back next year to hopefully redeem myself. Not entirely sure why I failed so bad on pistol (possibly due to me never zeroing it myself??) but for the 3 targets I missed on rifle, I think elevation might finally click in my 2 lil brain cells.

See yall at west in 5.5 weeks if you can make it!

Thanks splat & bmsmb for hosting & all the sponsors for allowing me to take a bunch of swag home even tho I don't deserve it.

Naw. I have my own, which I just slapped that new handguard on. Dig it.

Now we have his and hers 10.3 G SD uppers.

I brought her home to get this sticker, which is our new prized possession:

That gal is doing great in her new home…haven’t caught her eating off of the ground or digging in the trash can yet.

Thanks SOOOOOO much to Lauren, Kevin ,and all the Cola Staff for another outstanding event!! Thanks so much to ALL the sponsors as well.... It is amazing that a free event has such great sponsors to provide so many great prizes for everyone!! It was also great to hang out with all the other veterans as well as all of the new runners!

Colton extends his thanks as well. As a noob he was totally blown away with the event and amazed at the prizes that he earned......Especially the Top Noob! Needless to say he is HOOKED as well!
