Participants will be tested in numerous courses of fire designed to replicate deployment conditions using a variety of skill sets and positions. All courses of fire will be completed as a 2-person team, and a winning team will be established during the event based on overall demonstrated performance. Most events will be conducted at 200 yards or less, but an extended distance event may be included. Attendees should bring a minimum of a scoped rifle, backpack, deployment gear, 100 rounds of factory-grade ammunition, a gas mask, spotting scope or binoculars, and a tripod.
An organization that tries to be in control of everything will not be successful in crisis. In our efforts to bring order to chaos, the overwhelming focus is to gain control of everything possible.
