The Tactical Games were created to provide a venue to test the skills and readiness of tactical athletes from all backgrounds. Whether you are military, LEO or a civilian gun enthusiast you can compete in The Tactical Games.
The Tactical Games: Building a Brand and Getting to Know the Owners Behind it
The Tactical Games is one of the fastest-growing shooting sports in the country. The sport combines fitness and shooting by testing speed, strength, agility, and marksmanship. Sound like fun? Then this might be for you!
Founded in 2018 by Tim Burke, the sport continues gaining traction among fitness and firearm enthusiasts. Why might you ask? From personal experience, I think it's the desire to challenge yourself in different ways, and, the sense of belonging to a community truly like no other.
Nick and Amanda Thayer purchased the Tactical Games in early 2023 from the second owner and current competitor, Jared Halbert. Lauren Kalil sat down with the Thayer's after wrapping up the 2024 season to talk about why they decided to purchase the company, their vision to continue growing the brand, what's in store for 2025, and some tips for first-time competitors including myself!

Are you guys looking for an outside investor that won’t interfere with how things are evolving?
They need to add more challenging shooting courses. While having fitness challenges, they need to have more tactical courses instead of just going to the line and shooting at targets. They need more shoot-and-move ranges. IMO.
Explain a “tactical course” like a CQC shoot house? How do you judge that consistently across 300 competitors? How do you judge it as an individual clearing a structure? Is it for speed, is there force on force? How do you keep it blind across the field? Do you use staged weapons, what if they jam as is incredibly common with UTMs?
Have you ever tried to shoot a credit card with a heart rate at 160? That's pretty darn challenging
Spectator comment. It would be cool to have a camera on the targets to see hits on target when steaming coverage of a stage.
Agree and something we are working on for 2025.
I am 51 and training for my 1st TTG in October 2025 Phoenix
@@mma709 welcome are excited to have you out !
@ thanks I am scared to death. And have been training alone
Just did my first at 59. Learned a lot and excited to do better at 60
Why don't these videos get more likes???? Great videos and keep up the good work!
@@daniellamon8875 we appreciate you!
Austin has the biggest quads lol
Sooo…. Crossfit?
Fitness and shooting.
Time to Lock and load
CrossFit = gay
Signed up and stoked
Nice !!! 👍 ❤
Man I just need to get more accurate and I'm gunna kick ass, is this timed?
Where can I get that Magpul tank top???
Hell yeah. Hoping to compete this year.
What are the target distances?
Target distance vary by stage, these were 50 yards for rifle and 15 for pistol.
@TheTacticalGames thanks, I appreciate it!!
I was in until he picked up the railroad car axle, I'm out - it hurt my back just watching this!
This is what 50+ looks like.
He's a large man
Beast!
I'm tryn be like John when I grow up 🫡
When’s volunteering opening? Been trying to volunteer for Phoenix in February…
@@DJ12376 volunteer slots for the first half of the season is open now. thetacticalgames.com/2025-regional-events/
Didn’t even break a sweat
Sick 💪🏻👍🏻
I would practice your reholstering more
I think it woulda opened if the rogue rack didn’t rock backwards each time.
Never count Juan Wick out 💪
Do we even have a list of names of who won what? lol
There needs to be drug testing, and less crossfit.
@@channtehmann is this the real Channing Tatum?
@TheTacticalGames I'll take that as a no.
The audio is so awful. Sorry. But the production needs to be better in order for this sport to grow.
@@YouZer_Error if you hum the whole time, it’s not that bad. You can also try singing along with your favorite song!
KATE IS A BEAST!!!!!!HooYaH
It is slightly harder than it looks.
Wish we had more 40+ content

Skirmish dates please! 😎
I would rather have this woman as the first woman to be elected US President than Kamala or Hillary.
It was a phenomenal season and as my first year in this sport I am just honored to be able to play with the big dogs. I thought Nationals was a great test of all skills and I will be coming back next season after hammering my weaknesses. Thank you Nick and all the crew that put in more work than anyone will know! See you next year! God Bless America and Freedom! Todd Thompson
We are honored to have you competing with us Todd! Looking forward to seeing you next season!
What about athlete camp dates?
GET IIIIIT!!!
