After the FS is complete, athletes will complete 4 more jumps over the yoke before picking it
back up and carrying it back to the start/finish box.

complete the next firing sequence.
After the FS is complete, athletes will perform 6 more jumps over the yoke before carrying it

Thanks again for all the great info. If I’m free, I’d definitely like to volunteer and watch the athletes in action!

More on the Triple C 3rd Saturday Skirmish events

...

I noticed that too about the pistol red dot/RMR rule. The have a lot of very sensible rules and that one stands out as bit of an odd rule. Shouldn't affect me as I don't have any RMR pistols (yet).

Just replying to this to add that the rules have changed some.

They now allow 300 BLK and have an "Optics" division that allows RMR on the pistol. Which is great because that's all I really shoot now and really didn't want to take it off or find another gun.

I'm interested in trying this out when I'm home. Hopefully in the winter, not summer

Rules don't prohibit a frozen IcePlate Curve being set inside the back armor....

Might have to run one for a while to see if its worth it.

That's actually a good idea...

Can someone do a quick overview of what a typical intermediate full competition would consist of? I want to make sure I'm capable of doing everything and not embarrass myself too badly. Shooting I'm not that worried about, but I've just now gotten more serious about fitness in the last 6 months.

They have a youtube channel with some videos that might be helpful to gauge the difficulty:

It was a solid event run by specops guys. Impressive group of competitors. This was not your average group of competitive shooters. Strong, fit, Type A personalities. Tactical Games has changed ownership and have made the physical part more difficult, and at 48 I was one of the older guys out there. Not easy at any age, but brutal at my age. As far as pure shooting goes, I held my own. I used duty style gear. The challenge was high. Would have needed race gear to get a top spot, especially with pistol. I exercise a lot, but would need to significantly revamp my fitness training to get significant improvements and even then the inevitable injuries would probably limit how far I could progress. That said there were a number of former action guy types who were my age or older who were competing well. So if you've got a solid fitness base and aren't adverse to living on pain meds it can be done.

I think the value of the event is high, but the shorter Skirmish format may work better for me.
