No sh*t, there I was, basically living Starship Troopers. After a long day of five shooting events on the range, plus another five physical challenges on the “Field of Glory,” I was sitting naked in a sauna and eventually showering off with fellow competitors and range staff, both men and women alike. We just didn’t kill any bugs, and I’m pretty sure Buenos Aires is still on the map
Well, I guess I should back up a step. I’m ultimately talking about Finnish Brutality, a shooting competition put on by the Finnish gear company of Varusteleka. A competition held once a year, just south of the Arctic circle that’s a melding of two-gun shooting and physical challenges, loosely centered around the term “combat.” Basically, if you didn’t know the Tactical Games was just Cross-fit mixed with shooting low probability targets in the form of geometric shapes on paper, and I said to you, “I’m going to go compete in the Tactical Games,” then this is what you’d probably envision.
