Lynx Brutality is one of the premiere two-gun physical shooting matches in the world, held annually in Slovenia by Polenar Tactical. This year I chose to run the match in a Grayman and Company suit made specifically to conceal rifle plates – and to fit properly without the plates as well, for a universal practicality. However, “Armored” division requires a number of other elements of infantry-type kit that I did not carry, so I was in Open division instead. I used a Laugo Remus pistol and a Troy CAR-15 (specifically, GAU-5/A/A) carbine as my pistol and rifle.

Unfortunately, something happened to my rifle zero during the second stage – I will figure out exactly what happened once the rifle gets back to me in a few weeks. Anyway, one perseveres, and I had a really good time regardless. One of the best things about matches like Lynx and Finnish Brutality is the camaraderie; we shoot these events to challenge ourselves against the course and not to beat our fellow competitors, and the atmosphere is fantastically congenial.
