Action 2-Gun Competition 9MAR24

Exciting combat and defense oriented shooting competition with 6-8 dynamic stages of fire for pistol and rifle. Move and shoot in challenging scenarios. Distances vary from 0 meters to 400 meters and feature many reactive steel targets. 

Stage 1: Heavy shelling and spring rains have left the fields between our trench and the enemy’s trench a muddy, barren, wasteland. Sprint and crawl across the open while engaging known, suspected, and likely enemy positions as you move from shell crater to shell crater. You must move to within hand grenade range to destroy the enemy. To victory!

Stage 2: Your squad’s advance has been halted by heavy fire from a well emplaced enemy machine gun. Seek cover, suppress the aperture of the sand bagged pillbox, crawl forward using the most covered and concealed route to find a blind spot to approach it from the flank. 

Stage 3: With the enemy machine gun position properly suppressed, approach it from the flank, suppress the aperture, prepare and throw a grenade into the aperture. Take cover in the prone position with your helmet facing the direction of the explosion. Once the grenade detonates, enter and clear the bunker from the rear entrance. 

Stage 4: With the enemy’s machine gun position destroyed, your squad can move across no man’s land and into the trench network. Clear your way through the trench.

Stage 5: While you have cleared and occupied the trench, the enemy has a say. Undoubtedly they will soon begin artillery bombardment followed by infantry assault. Use the tools and resources at hand to prepare your position for defense. 

Stage 6: Here they come! Keep your head down, move from firing position to firing position to keep the enemy guessing as to where you are and how many of you there are. Suppress the enemy with grenades as he draws near, then destroy him in the open before he reaches your trench. 

Stage 7: You successfully repelled the enemy counterattack, but heavy fire from enemy automatic grenade launcher has gravely wounded your squad mate. Assess his wounds, apply tourniquets to stop extremity arterial bleeding, screen the enemy’s visibility with smoke grenades, then carry him out to the evacuation point where a vehicle will pick him up.

Weapons are to be pointed up, down, or downrange.
Keep your finger above the trigger and on the side of the gun unless you are ready to shoot.
Keep your weapon on safety unless you are shooting.
Load when you are ready to use your weapon, and load it appropriately for your purpose.
We’re here to shoot, to have fun, to learn, to practice, and to challenge and help each other be better. Winning against others is not the principle goal.
