Trip Mines and Sisyphus’ Kettlebell: Lynx Brutality 2025 Day 1

Polenar Tactical has done it again, setting the bar for Brutality matches with this year’s Lynx Brutality. Held at the Lynx Pro Training Center outside Kočevje Slovenia, this year’s match was 10 stages over two days. My plan was to shoot the match in a covert sort of rig with a suit from Grayman & Co, but thanks to FedEx the suit never arrived. So I just took the jeans and combat shirt I had and ran with it. My pistol was a P365 with a Gideon Valor Mini fully-enclosed compact red dot and my “rifle” was a Flux Raider with a Romeo4 red dot. Those were definitely handicaps, but made for a fun and interesting match regardless!
