So I was working today and started thinking!! Is there a civilian tactical team that like goes to touraments and see who wins kinda thing or am I totally out there?? You know like a competion for civilian tactical teams??

If you have never competed before I'd say check out IDPA for an individual start.
But to be honest, I haven't heard of any full fledged team competitions where every one is shooting at once as part of a tactical team, let alone one for civilians.

Any one else?

By the way, you don't want to make this sound like this is the first time you thunk on the job

never heard anything like it for civilian stuff...then again i dont pay much attention to the competition side of shooting.

i thought it would be cool for a relay type event, precision, cqb, and other fun stuff... that way you have a team, and could make it a little more fun, but for safety issues you would probably want separate ranges for each leg of the race.

There are many "tactical" programs/competitions out there but none of them are here in Iowa that I've seen. Getting one together can be costly because of the insurance.

Well I dont claim to Thunk much I agree, I was thinking something relay wise but as a team. Like you have your rifle class and high cal class and pistol class... anyone heard of such lol

anytime you have a venu or event where there is a risk posed you must have insurance. in case of harm or accidents. example you must have car insurance why cause shit happens and damage or harm may be done.

if you run a business you must have insurance in case harm or foul happens in the line of work IE property or person damage.

if you own certian dogs you must have insurance.

anytime there is a chance that something may go afoul you must have insurance to cover "may be " damage or harm. the higher the risk the greater the cost of insurance.

Check out Tiger Valley down in Texas.  I believe they do some team matches.  Also, out in Arizona Cav Arms participates in these sorts of matches.  Search for "Trooper" matches.  i would also love to do these things with the right people but the startup costs would be plenty.

Join the National Guard, they'll put you on a civilian tactical team.  When you aren't constantly making fun of people for being flipping idoits you dress up like a bush and carry scary guns around.

I joined the National Guard and they never gave me a scary bush suit

Some people have all the luck!

The Gecko45 Saga was relived in GD just a few days ago....man that dude was either nutso or an epic troll. Either way someone was posting some rather Gecko45ish things in the Carry Issues section not too long ago as well. I wonder if he lives on...?

I have seen the Union County TRT. Looked like they were sponsored by Ford, Copenhagen, Mossy Oak, and Remington.

Thankfully I never saw the/one of the DSM teams, but I'll tell you, with all the drug problems here in Ohio, the OH Trooper SRT/TRT team is pretty intimidating to see on the road.
