Endless Summer Run & Gun

This event is a 2-gun biathlon range day invitational, and a collaboration between Third Coast Tactical and Texas Carbine. Competitors carry a rifle and pistol and have 45 minutes on the course to complete 2 laps, each lap has 6 to 4 shooting stages with a different course of fire for each. Each lap is a mile in length and there are 10 stages. Range Officers will brief you prior to executing each Course of Fire and keep your time/score. 

The ranges will be 200yds and closer for all engagements. Each competitor must carry everything needed to complete the course with them when they start. There will be day and night shooting available. Competitors can run solo or as a "fighting pair" with one other teammate. This event allows a competitor/fighting pair to have a course to themselves, test gear/supplies, and provide an introductory experience for 2-gun biathlon events to those that want to get into the sport.   For those that have done Run & Guns before, this course provides a challenge as well, pushing shooters to complete the courses of fire in the fastest par time possible AND complete the 2 miles in the fastest time available.

Recommend ammunition regardless of selected participant class, 210 rounds rifle, 100 rounds pistol (Note this amount of ammunition ensure all participants have the best chance of completing all stages with ammunition to spare).  

No armor piercing or tracer ammunition allowed.
