Different state, same great competition.

In August, we flew out to New Hampshire for The Tactical Games. This weekend, TTG is in our backyard. We'll be there. Will you?

What. A. Weekend.

Another Rally in the Valley is in the books, and I’m still trying to wrap my head around everything that went into making this weekend happen.

First and foremost, THANK YOU to our volunteers and staff. People see the athletes competing, but they don’t always see the hours before the first athlete starts or the work that continues long after the last one finishes. The days are long, the workload is heavy, and sometimes our staff and volunteers put in more hours than anyone out there competing.

But that’s what community looks like. These competitions simply do not happen without people willing to show up, work hard, solve problems, and give their time for something bigger than themselves.

To my wife, @emilee.kate — thank you for being beside me through all of it. You poured your time, energy, and heart into helping me bring this crazy dream to life. Watching it continue to grow and succeed with you by my side has been an absolute blessing and nothing short of a miracle

To every athlete who showed up and SHOWED OUT — thank you. Without you, there is no competition. It’s just a bunch of ridiculous ideas written on paper waiting for someone brave enough to attempt them. 😂 You brought those ideas to life and made every hour of preparation worth it.

Thank you to everyone behind the scenes who may not have worked the competition floor but helped with food, equipment, logistics, planning, transportation, and the hundred other things nobody ever sees.

A huge thank you to Putnam County Gun Club, Justin Williams and Valley Park, Meeks Mountain Trails, and the Charleston Distance Run for going above and beyond to help us create experiences our athletes will remember long after the soreness finally goes away.

Rally has never been about just finding the fittest person.

It’s about competition. Community. Experiences. Friendships. And putting people through some absolutely questionable shit together and somehow having them ask to come back next year. 😂

I couldn’t be more grateful for everyone who played a part in this weekend.

Now we recover…

…and then we start figuring out how the hell we’re going to top it next year.

See you in 2027.

• Without a doubt one of my favorite memories from competing in @thetacticalgames.

This was @aaronsizzle and I’s last stage of the weekend. A spicy lil number if you wanted to finish under the 15 min time cap (spoiler alert - we didn’t lol). 12 total rounds. Athlete 1 would do 15 cals on the ski then shoot 6 rounds of rifle from the top of the tank trap. Target was 20” steel square at 420 yards. Before athlete two could begin his 15 cals on the ski erg they had to do penalty work; 1x 125# sandbag over a high bar per miss. This would continue on with athletes swapping between rifle and pistol until they finished all 12 rounds or hit the time cap.

For those of you better at math than Aaron and I, that works out to 1:15 rounds if you want to finish. Inclusive of shooting and penalties. And there were penalties, lol. Especially on pistol which was strong hand only on 6” steel at 21 yards 🥵

This video is from the very end of our stage. Aaron had just finished the 9th round of rifle and shot clean so no penalties. I got on the ski with 30 seconds left. I knocked the 15 cals out in 20 seconds and had 10 seconds left to get on the gun (@concept2greg don’t judge me for releasing the handles 🤦🏼‍♂️). Im gassed and slam into the tank trap - not worrying about building a solid position. Look through the optic and all I see is brush. By the grace of god I find the target at the last second and flash my reticle across it. Let off a shot right at the buzzer. Flashing green hit indicators light up 🚨

The video cuts short but I can confirm there was some hype in the bay afterwards haha! In the end it didn’t mean much of anything for our score but it was TTG’s equivalent to hitting a half court shot to close out the game. A memory I’ll cherish for years to come.

Taking this moment to thank @concept2inc for being such a huge supporter of our community. No better machine in training or competition 🙏🏼 • 🎥: @c2_andrew
