GA Run and Gun events

[JDUB]

Hey guys! Opening a discussion board on the fast growing world of tactical biathlons!! In other words Run and Gun events.

I’ve done a few in Savannah called Sweat N Bullets and Jingle Balls. I’m hooked and if you have done a few and have some experiences to share-go for it.

I personally love all the steel change and two gun events but Run and Guns are different animal. That right there tests your equipment, your skills and body. I personally ain’t ‘running’ any of it for the most part, but it sure is fun. And the community involved have been just awesome. I’d love to help spread the word and get more folks involved. I am in talks with bringing a new event to central Ga, south atl metro(ish) area. Currently, I don’t know of any events that are closer to me in Senoia than Dawsonville at River Bend (which is an excellent place to go).

So come on in and tell us about how you started and what you’re done. If you don’t know…ask!!

Burdy I know there are others, just drawing a blank.

I am pulling together hosting an event in Waverly Hall. How far is that from everyone?

Following for a middle Ga event or two.

When you say run and gun is that a 5k or 10k jog with 10 stages requiring 200 rifle rounds and 100 pistol rds or is it 10 stages within walking distance to the next stage and you’re trying to run and gun in the stages fast and efficient.


Are the pistols ranges inside 50yds or further out ?

Do the rifles distances go out to 800yds or they short game distances with full size ipsca targets inside 300 yds ?

-yes and no. These are timed events with stages. Your time is calculated overall and per stage. If you have folks in front of you at any one stage, your time stops as you wait. All runs are cold range until the RO tells you to make ready AT the stage.

Are the pistols ranges inside 50yds or further out ?

-Yes usually pistol is inside of 50yrds.

Do the rifles distances go out to 800yds or they short game distances with full size ipsca targets inside 300 yds ?

- Stages can be set up however, and you won’t know until the day of! So you’ll need to be prepared for any distance. However…..they are usually not longer than 150-200. Anything around the 400+ distance in an event is considered DMR territory and that’s a whole separate event. I’d like to put something together that maybe allows a BONUS target at a longer distance to give yourself a subtraction of time or extra points.

Thanks that answers my questions.. I would prolly like the PRS style impacts plus time with 5-7 folks in a squad shooting a stage that starts with pistols inside 50 yds transition to rifle 200-800 yds that would get me excited enough but there’s no need for me to run to the next stage.

I like that idea. Like a hybrid of two gun and run n gun challenge. Just in short bursts.

I don’t run these things. I’m working towards that but this guy jog walks.

There’s a whole community and a ton of these events. A lot of people on here participate and have for years. Check RnG Discussion group on Facebook.

When an event is announced, stay up on registration as they fill up in 10mins or less. These are very popular. Next event is Riverbend Run and Gun which will be this Saturday March 29. You can always come out and watch.
