The Run and Gun is an approximately 5–7 kilometer centerfire biathlon.
The team will carry a rifle, pistol, ammunition, and magazines as they negotiate obstacles and approximately 6–7 shooting stages.
The course of fire will not be posted prior to the race/ Top Secret!
This is to challenge you in the moment.
Expect to shoot rifles to 100–350 yds and pistols to 50yds.
Round count average 50 rifle / 50 pistol average we usually post final round count two days before the event. Please be patient.
You will need:
Water is also highly recommended.
You may use any type of gear you want to carry your equipment.
Pistols must be carried in a secure holster that covers the trigger guard and must be holstered at all times.
Rifles and Pistols will be carried UNLOADED. Cold range until told to load and make ready by your Range Officer.
Targets will be steel so no tracers, armor piercing bullets, and bullets with a steel core like M855 are not allowed.
Magnum calibers are also not allowed.
Your pistol must shoot a pistol caliber round.
Your rifle must shoot a rifle caliber round.
For the team event, one shooter will be allowed to shoot rifle only and the other can shoot pistol only, but it is up to your own team.
There will be a stage or two where both will shoot pistols, so be ready!
Run order will be published several days prior to the race.
Run order will be fastest to slowest to prevent backups at shootings stages.
The first runner will start at 8 a.m.
Run order will be sent out on PractiScore one week before the event.
You must attend a safety brief before being allowed on the course.
We will have a check list to make sure you have attended the safety brief.
If you get there earlier and want to attend an earlier safety brief, by all means.
Basic firearm safety will be observed at all times.
Do not point your firearm at another human being and keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are aligned on designated targets.
Rifles and pistols will only be loaded under the supervision of a Range Safety Officer (RSO).
Loaded pistols must remain in a secure holster until shooting a stage under the supervision of a RSO.
If you are found to be breaking these rules you will be disqualified and escorted off the premises.
The run route will take you over varying terrain, maybe through water, and/or over/under obstacles.
Do not stray from the marked trail or it may take you into the live fire impact area.
When you approach a shooting stage:
The cumulative wait time, if any, will be subtracted from your overall run time.
When the shooter in front of you has cleared the stage, the RSO will record the wait time that you have on your watch.
After explaining the stage to you, the RSO will give you commands to load and begin firing.
Every shooting stage will have a time limit/par time plus points down.
If the RSO tells you to cease fire you will unload and show clear pistol/rifle.
The RSO will tell you your time and record your time on the score card.
Do not run with the bolt open on your empty rifle!
At the end of the race your run and shoot scores will be calculated.
Scores will not be posted until 2 to 3 days after the event.
There will be a random draw of prizes from sponsors that will be awarded.
There will be medical personnel at the event in case of emergencies but be aware of over exertion.
It will be hot. There is no shame in slowing down and walking.
If you believe you cannot complete the event, an RSO will assist in transporting you back to the start.
