Desert Brutality 2021 - 8 stages, 1 day, all Brutal.

This was such a smoothly-run match that we had squads stacking up, not because people were running hours behind, but because people were running hours _ahead_. Match-wise, the marksmanship was brutal, the physicality was brutal, the stages were a ton of fun, and the par time is real. I love that you can tell these are challenging target presentations in field conditions because even the guy who designed the match has difficulty reacquiring them, and finding the targets in field conditions is a skill in and of itself, especially shooting Fulda Gap on Day 2 with AK irons when all the paint on the targets has been blasted off by eight squads the day before. Thank you for putting this on, Karl, and kudos to the RO's, Cobalt, and everyone else who pitched in to help!

[@znutar]

Indeed it was a literal blast. As always it was a good time for all. Just wish I hadn't had issues with my optic otherwise a great time. Especially fun to be in the VIP squad. Jari is an animal and Mike and Ian were very entertaining and funny. Jenny is one seriously focused competitor. Oh and Jordan: "Wolverines!!!!!" Lol.

[@BillHaworth]

I know "offhand" is a traditional term that comes from some classic shooting competition, but I am so glad we never got that in the military. "Standing unsupported" leaves no confusion, while "offhand" makes me automatically think that (as a right handed shooter) I'll be shooting this stage left handed. Fantastic shoot and competition. My knees (gift of the military) wouldn't survive a Desert Brutality... now, but I'm hoping to work my way back up being able to survive one. I know I won't place anywhere near first, but just making it through the whole event without par timing out on some stages would be excellent. 'Cause you gotta have goals.

[@juansimon5802]

still something that is viable and should be practiced. if someone else depends on u using that weapon ,you should be just as comfortable shooting either hand regardless the weapon,i.e. pistol, rifle or shotgun.

[@BillHaworth]

@@juansimon5802 Yes, you should absolutely practice shooting with your other hand. But thank you for proving my point so effectively.

[@yosarianilivestech4018]

Feel like not par timing any stages would be doing quite good from some of what I've seen of these.

[@keksimus__maximus]

Karl you're a beast with that wwsd carbine. Well done!

[@InrangeTv]

Thank you!

[@dekstehnrasta741]

The ATN scope is nice for the viewers to see your shots as they happen. Also, 150 yard spinner with a bolt action is the definition of brutality (I could not stop myself from saying f you out loud when you went through the stage description).

[@myparceltape1169]

It is good and it allows us to see the how the shot puts off the aim.

[@Primarch359]

Are digital scopes not crap anymore? Should I try one out? I did discount them a half decade ago.

[@bwcmakro]

@@Primarch359 well, Karl did say he'll make a full video on this scope. I suggest you wait for that, and he'll tell you all about it.

Karl, I had a great time at the match. Thank you for putting it on. My favorite stages were Highland Games, Pistol Assault, Falda Gap, and Kasarda Precision. I failed on the spinners and the shield stage was sneaky hard. I did DB 2019 and enjoyed this one even more. I finished 8th in Cold War (not bad at age 44). Thanks again.

Do it, dude! I parred out on literally half the stages myself, but that just gives me a baseline to beat next match!

[@FirstDagger]

Scope Cam! Nice!

[@beezer12]

Honestly... And i hope the guy running this sees this (whoever you are, good looking haircut)... The fact that you pulled up on that third target and compensated perfectly was insane. Especially after having slight load failure which I'm sure increased your stress level when competing for time. Tell more people to film themselves during these, this video is better than most movies for gun people. I've been on the edge of my seat the whole damn time!!!!!!!!!

[@visionaryfirearmsllc9999]

Your very first shot was not a primer issue but rather the bolt was not fully in battery and in result you got a light strike. You can watch the bolt handle move further in batter after pulling the trigger and follow up shots the bolt handle is in a lower more locked position than that first attempt.

[@fujocel]

Recently got to go to the Brownells in IA, a tad small but I did get to hold a KE Arms rifle that was either the WWSD2020 or pretty damn close. So lightweight, yet so sturdy feeling, definitely going to have to pick one up for myself eventually!

A tremendous performance here, sir. What a superb day out these events must be!

[@Stigstigster]

I know jealousy is a sin but I'm sat here indoors over in Great Britain on a small island in the beginning of winter, weathering storm Arwen right now and yes, I am jealous of you guys in the desert having great fun and practising your skills at Desert Brutality. At least you are able to share it with us and I get to live vicariously! I wouldn't be anywhere near good enough (or experienced) for this competition but it's my ambition to one day get back over the US (last time was 2014, spending time in the Nevada desert and drove the length of California and back up again. I loved the desert so much) and find some way to take part in a practical shooting competition.

[@RolandtheThompsonGunner]

Good job, Karl. 👍 This gave me some ideas for our local range.

[@ImDudePlayinADude]

Something to keep in mind: Cameras make hills look flatter. Those hills on the last 2 stages were likely quite a bit steeper than some of us would think just from watching the video.

[@DeadAntGaming]

Karl, your commentary in this comes off as very cool, calm and collected. Not that your aren't usually, it's just extra noticeable in this one

[@sixgunsaint]

That is a hard day on the range. Good job on you and Sinistral.

[@mageyeah7763]

Shield stage was by far my easiest, and my only clean run. Which is to say I’m not a particularly good marksman, but I’m good at running and carrying heavy stuff. But every stage was fun. Thank you for a great weekend.

[@Trancefreakeh]

Karl, can you do a little piece on the combination of correct layering in summer / winter in combination of eye-pro? I've always had trouble staying warm when passive in winter and not fogging up. Same with overheating in summer. Please note, I live in a temperate ( I believe the word is ) climate in Western EU. Thanks?

[@yosarianilivestech4018]

The number one way to avoid fog is air flow, depending on your requirements of seal of the eye pro around your face this might not be an option. One trick that does help is to put a thin film of dish soap on the inside of the lenses to prevent fog accumulation, this is basically what anti fog sprays are.

[@Trancefreakeh]
