News Desk
The Desert Brutality 2 Gun Competition was held at the Cow Town Range in Peoria, AZ February 3-4, 2018. The match was organized and promoted by InRange TV. InRange TV’s Karl Kasarda brought his unique combination of physical and shooting challenges with rifle and pistol from the 2 Gun Action Challenge Match into a significant event format.

105 competitors from around the United States and as far as Switzerland and Finland attended the event. Participants included active and retired Military/Law Enforcement, experienced action shooting competitors, and a large number of new shooters inspired to compete by InRange TV’s match coverage.
Kettlebells, rucks, heavy sleds…there’s was a lot more to manipulate and move than the weapons involved in Desert Brutality.

Shooters maneuvered through difficult terrain, cactus, and scrub at the Desert Brutality Competition in Peoria, AZ.
Competitors engaged rifle targets from out to 300 yards, and pistol targets to 25 yards. Every stage included some physical challenge including sprints, running uphill, throwing a kettlebell, dragging a heavy sled, obstacles, and breaching doors.
Armored doesn’t always equal awkward, even when humping rifle-rated plates – but it can be exhausting.
The match featured several unique divisions:
• Classic: Firearms designed in as issued configured before 1974 with iron sights. Mag capacity was limited to 30 rounds rifle, and pistol to standard capacity magazines.
• Scout: Modern firearms. Rifle could have a single optical sight; pistol must use iron sights. Rifle capacity was limited to 30, and pistol to standard capacity magazines
• Armored: Same as Scout, but add a plate carrier with rifle rated plates must be worn on every stage.
• Sport: Equivalent to Open Division in 3 Gun, no substantial equipment restrictions.
• Armored +P: Rifle Rated plates front and rear, bump or ballistic helmet, all ammo for the entire match carried on person throughout each stage. Firearms equipment and accessories were unlimited as long as it was carried.
