By

Do you want to infuse some friendly competition into your next range day, all while improving your shooting skills?

The Balloon Game

The Balloon Game is simple. Blow up a few balloons of various colors and attach them to the target area. Have one shooter start with their back to the balloons while another person calls out a color. The goal is for the shooter to turn, present their MK12 rifle, acquire the target, and shoot the right balloon. The shooter with the fastest time wins. This game is all about target acquisition speed, which is crucial in a competitive scenario.

 Target Sprint

The competitors are going to literally sprint in this run-and-gun drill. They need to run a short distance before picking up their firearm and firing five shots. The winner is the person with the highest number of points based on the target used and their overall speed.

Ping Pong

Ping Pong involves two shooters. The first shooter takes an initial shot at the target. The second needs to get a higher score or be closer to the center. The first shooter then needs to outshoot the second shot. Keep going until someone is unable to make a more accurate shot than the last. This head-to-head competition can be intense, simulating a competition environment.

Bullethole

Do you really want to test your premium M4 carbine for range shooting? Try this take on cornhole. Each shooter starts with their firearm on the table. At the timer, the shooter needs to shoot as close to the center of the target as quickly as they can. Repeat for the next shooter. Closest to the center in the shortest time wins. This game combines speed and accuracy, which are both essential skills for any shooter.

You’ve bought your Block 2 M4 , ammo, and spare mags, but how will you keep everything you need close by at the range? For many shooters, a chest rig is the answer. A chest rig can hold spare mags, tools, and other items, providing plenty of extra utility. As you shop around, here are a few things to consider. A Chest Placard That Fits The chest placard is one of the most important parts of any chest rig. It’s the panel of fabric that everything else attaches to. It’s usually made with MOLLE webbing or sewn-on pouches. When comparing options, choose a placard with enough space for your 9mm PCC mags and other pouches without weighing it down too much. It should sit around your sternum, allowing you to move around freely. Different Harness Types There are three major types of chest rigs: the H, X, and Y harness. The right one for you depends on your specific needs and comfort preferences. The H-harness forms an “H” shape with a connector between the shoulder straps. You need to...
