@@Jake-oz8ln I don’t really think Lucas speaks out of turn. He talks about shooting and business, and he’s really good at both. Either way, glad to have Brandon on the YT channel.
I love how it seamlessly turned from "guns talk" to "healthy lifestyle and nutrition talk". Avoiding putting junk in is one of the best (if not the best) things you can do to your health (and spirit, for that matter)
As a side note for the barefoot style shoes. If you've worn padded/supported shoes your whole life and are wanting to try/switch to barefoot don't jump in whole hog. Don't just start wearing them all day every day as soon as you get them, take a few weeks to wear your old shoes and bring the barefoot with you, and just wear them for short stints that gradually get longer over the weeks until your feet get strong enough/used to the shoes
This, and definitely don't go running on asphalt/concrete in barefoot shoes until you've gotten well used to them. Even then, for long runs, you'd still want something padded to prevent injuries. My recommendation would be to use the barefoot style shoes for training cycles, and switch to more supportive footwear with plenty of traction for actual competition.
I started by wearing the barefoot shoes for half a day the morning then switched to my old ones for the rest of the day for three months but I walk 10-12 thousand steps per day on concrete. You can also alternate with some lems shoes they have some padding in them but are 0 drop and have a very wide toe box. I found that the xero brand was not wide enough so I use lems or a couple others.
Brandon, this is my far The best video I’ve seen/make, the wisdom put in that I took away from this video. You have earned a whole new level of respect from me absolutely outstanding more videos like this, please. Loved all the facts about food and drinks, not only for the tactical games, but just in life in general. Excellent stuff.
Great video, loving TTG content. Keep it up! Also - he’s not kidding on the breads. Look at the ingredients in your bread. My wife makes sourdough too and it’s literally 3 ingredients.
Great vid Brandon, appreciate the nutrition info an brand call outs too it is very difficult to find anything healthy to buy these days good lookin out for the eats.
Been using the Xeroshoes Mesa Trails for 3+ years now. Love the trail running, even do some road running in them. Biggest concern is do not go off trail too much with them. Callery Pear and other thorns will go right through the shoe. Work for my state's Dept. of Natural Resources, so I'm in the woods a lot. Had good luck with the wide toe box in Rockys so far.
Well thought out video Brandon. I especially like the details about the food- eating more natural and organic food is one thing our family is working on. I would certainly watch a longer form video from you guys on the subject. Though I'm not sure Lucas would support you trashing his Reign 😂
Brandon: Use Velcro One-Wrap on your pouches instead of malice clips. I used this in the Tactical Games, training, and for duty use. One-Wrap is strong, secure, and can withstand the abuse.
You know what, I want to see an event that utilized just bare bone rifles and pistols. No extra upgrades, nice kit. But just a bare bone 16 in, carbine length, a2 handguard, milspec trigger, vortex pst 1-6 viper, no bad levers, a2 pistol grip, m4 stock, no upgraded barrel, stock glock gen 5 mos with an rmr, no upgrades. Nd have people compete for money. The event holders will provide the weapons so no one can try to get past with their secret upgrades etc. That would be an interesting event to see how people can operate with a bare bone rifle and pistol
You should give the new BCM Mk2 charging handle a try. It's by far the best charging handle on the market imo. Stops essentially all gas from going into your face while shooting suppressed. I actually didn't really notice much of a difference in gas mitigation between the regular raptor and the SD also I'm glad you said that about the 55gr fiocchi - I ordered some not too long ago and it was insanely accurate out of my criterions. no one really believed me lol
great vid as always, i am the same have recently switched from fav camo bein multicam\and black and started changin over to the Arid and sure as i did found out when got a new hotpocket in Arid that its been discontinued as a fabric\material pattern unless order a huge roll etc, so if gotten most of what i needed in it but sad that goin forward it wont be available etc Keep up the awsome content and work, and good luck at the games!
Brandon, on the contrary the food part was the best part. We switched to buying only organic produce and products while limiting processed foods a few months ago and the difference in mental clarity and physical energy has been incredible. Eat real food folks. Love this content! Would really enjoy more fitness/food related content.
Are we allowed to have a 45 degree dot sight with the LPVO? Their equipment requirememts video specifically forbid it. The rules on the website say 45 irons only. Is there a different category that allows it? I just dont want to train with a 45 dot and find out i have to remove it comp day
Great info! Thanks, Brandon; I especially appreciated your perspective on a “real food “diet and your footwear for an overall more natural lifestyle. I particularly struggle with this in my life and would enjoy more content from you on this. I went and ordered Rawr Organics Protein Bars and Clean Cause energy drinks as a result of this video. I appreciate the Christian influence from Rawr and that they donate from their profits to feed needy people in Africa and Clean Cause donates to addiction recovery. Awesome!
Crazy how different people are so different on footwear. You recommend barefoot shoes, others recommend boots with ankle support. I'm with you. My ankles were never weaker than when i got out of the service and stopped wearing combat boots daily. Took a while to build up that ankle strength.
Does Xero make a shoe that's IR compliant? Alternatively, is there a reccomended way to cover/remove/recolor reflective details on shoes? Love my Xero shoes in the gym but they have a lot of shiny bits.
If you are going to consume caffeine I highly recommend making sure it's natural caffeine not synthetic and combining L-Theanine with it which takes away the jittery feeling caffeine can give you and actually makes the caffeine help with focus. Also Magnesium Glycinate which helps eliminate any cramping.
FWIW: Wolf Gold 55fmj SD - 17.3 PMC 55fmj SD - 25.5 Considering the price of most 55fmj ($.50-.55), I’d encourage you to consider the AAC 77 OTM at ~$.62. I’m seeing SDs in the teens.
I’ve been shooting AAC 77grain otm (not the sierra bullet version), and I get decent groups. I don’t measure with a caliper, but I’d say 2 moa with my 14.5 Bcm at 300 meters
Insane Brandon is giving feedback on T Rex’s own products and not just saying it’s “perfect”. Most companies wouldn’t do that and then air it out online.
PMC XTAC 5.56mm 55gr is decent. SD is around 20 fps, which is better than most bulk packaged factory ammunition. IMI 55gr is a little worse but has a slight increase in velocity. If your Core barrel can't shoot either at 2 MOA, get a different barrel.
Bro gotta say, I had the same emissary grip, then switched to Edgar sherma designs' pebble grip for my 10.3, and it's way better in my opinion. He also makes a fuller sized grip too if u want it longer. It doesn't have the tang so u can switch the safety way faster and easier
I have! We really like Tactical Triggers for Glock. My Gen5 G17 just happens to have a really good trigger from factory, but it's still no 1911 style trigger.
Damn….. expected to see gun stuff…Did not expect to be researching thornes supplements after a tactical games video…. “ just make sure you are not eating poison”….good advise.
Dang it man, I’m honestly impressed by this video. I appreciate the details!! Did you have any issues with debris or anything getting in your delta point pro and canted mount on your rifle ? Thank you. !!!
Please explain to me how problem with the gun that inch and a half off base anything easier? That’s the kind of stuff they just think everything else is bullshit too
The nutritional segment of this video is the most important IMO. I will say, cashews and almonds aren’t as good for you as once believed. Too much Oxalate is detrimental to your health as well.
Who else here appreciates Brandon even more after his interview on Havic? Such an amazing addition to the trex team.
I appreciate him more than seeing Lucas all the time. Good to see someone who knows what they're talking about since he's been there and done that

Such an information packed video, this is definitely main channel worthy
Full Event recap video is on the main channel!
I did zero cardio in preparation of the TTG event I did.
Ate McDonald’s for breakfast both days.
The cramps and low back pumps were insane.
😅😅
Haha that is pretty hardcore though.
Reno may most based guntuber/lawyer in the biz
I this guy on mpmd comments all the time
Came for the gear review and subscribed for the food and nutrition review. I am glad that he introduced me to Rawr Organics
Wholesome ass guy, packs his wife's home made bread too. You rock brandon.
As someone who is trying to reduce a very high daily caffeine intake, the drink mix advice was helpful!

Need a Brandon episode on nutrition for real
Eat right and exercise. What else do you need to know? The bacon tactical diet?
Probably don't seek nutritional advice from a guy not trained in nutrition....
Best video about TTG out there. Wish they had more events
I had the same issue with the molle pouches, bought some one wrap and it fixed my issues. Good stuff my dude
Great video. I came to see what plates you used and learned a lot about other stuff.
Brandon: “Alright this is the boring stuff (clothes &food)”
All of us: The most unexpected useful part of the video
I signed up to volunteer at the event this year in NH. Planning to compete in the future! 👍🏻
Mad respect on all food tips. May the Lord bless you and your family.
Fantastic video. I wear xero shoes everyday, but gotta recommend speedcrosses for obstacle racing!
can you also give us some details on how you transport this stuff? Rifle in a long case, rifle broken down in a pelican case, etc. Thanks!
I was thinking the same thing. I'm in the market for a rifle bag/case and looking for recommendations.
I was going to put that in the video, but didn't think it was helpful. I'll see about doing something!
Brandon The shirts style your looking for is a raglan sleeved polo. It will have the same sleeved cut as a baseball tee and the collar you want.
Thank you so much for that! Didn't know these existed.
Love the health and nutrition. Great advice. Going to a PCSL match soon, I’ll definitely be lookin into those food and drink options.
I use the shingle. Love it! Fits all kinds of stuff and lays flat when when I'm not using it. Allows for some flexibility
I have a 13.9 criterion core barrel and it’s heats up pretty quick as well I opted for the lunar concepts hot pocket and it works great
Thanks for the breakdown. Looking forward to one of these events.
Great teaching video - Thank you...
13:54 it sucks you don’t sell the AC1 in multicam arid, I know it didn’t sell well but I’d love one and the only one I’ve seen is on eBay for 350$

You may like the Trijicon RCR for your G17 for the tactical games.
Fastest click on video ever
You were .24 behind the buzzer on me my friend.
Simp
Could you guys make a video explaining what all goes into making a dope card using the equipment shown?
You should give the new BCM Mk2 charging handle a try. It's by far the best charging handle on the market imo. Stops essentially all gas from going into your face while shooting suppressed. I actually didn't really notice much of a difference in gas mitigation between the regular raptor and the SD

Thanks to you Brandon, I now have a 4-5 year goal. I'm a long way off, but on the way.
Awesome insight and great information!
What are your thoughts on an Orion belt in place of the speed belt for TTG?
can you use 45 degree throw safeties in the tactical games? I saw the rules state that no "modifications" to the safeties are allowed?
Are we allowed to have a 45 degree dot sight with the LPVO? Their equipment requirememts video specifically forbid it. The rules on the website say 45 irons only. Is there a different category that allows it? I just dont want to train with a 45 dot and find out i have to remove it comp day
Can you tell me the pants that you and Brantley are wearing in the range videos, look like they would be a good option for the games?
Great info! Thanks, Brandon; I especially appreciated your perspective on a “real food “diet and your footwear for an overall more natural lifestyle. I particularly struggle with this in my life and would enjoy more content from you on this.

Crazy how different people are so different on footwear. You recommend barefoot shoes, others recommend boots with ankle support. I'm with you. My ankles were never weaker than when i got out of the service and stopped wearing combat boots daily. Took a while to build up that ankle strength.

Does Xero make a shoe that's IR compliant? Alternatively, is there a reccomended way to cover/remove/recolor reflective details on shoes? Love my Xero shoes in the gym but they have a lot of shiny bits.
I wonder how Brandon feels abt how much Lucas loves reign lol
I was thinking on running Primary Arns 3x prism for the tactical Games what are your all thoughts
Would be nice to get a gear list in the description or somewhere on the comments either than that great video
what mm thickness on the knee sleeves? seems like 7mm thick ones would be nice for protection but also very stiff… maybe the 3 or 5mm???
Great information Brandon!!😎👍🏾
faxon pencil barrels are very light weight and shoot well at the same time

when are we looking at getting the IIAVIC patches?
FWIW:
Wolf Gold 55fmj SD - 17.3
PMC 55fmj SD - 25.5
Considering the price of most 55fmj ($.50-.55), I’d encourage you to consider the AAC 77 OTM at ~$.62. I’m seeing SDs in the teens.
Thanks for the reccomendation! I'm playing with Federal 69gr now, but I'll definitely have to try that out at that price!
I’ve been shooting AAC 77grain otm (not the sierra bullet version), and I get decent groups. I don’t measure with a caliper, but I’d say 2 moa with my 14.5 Bcm at 300 meters
Is the lower from Aero?
Insane Brandon is giving feedback on T Rex’s own products and not just saying it’s “perfect”. Most companies wouldn’t do that and then air it out online.
Did anybody tell Lucas about not to drink energy drinks?
What specific brand and model shoe is that? You just said they’re barefoot shoes.
Must be nice to have cool gear in multicam arid.
Did you wear the 3mm, 5mm, or 7mm knee sleeves?
Coconut Water is the way. Good nutrition info. Similar liquid consumption to my last 2 Adventure races.
Would love to see how you customize that ragnork
My biggest take-away from this video is that I can't even afford to compete. Good lord. What's the price tag on all of this kit?
PMC XTAC 5.56mm 55gr is decent. SD is around 20 fps, which is better than most bulk packaged factory ammunition. IMI 55gr is a little worse but has a slight increase in velocity. If your Core barrel can't shoot either at 2 MOA, get a different barrel.
You have to wear a plate carrier? Or is a chest rig good enough?
2-10x FFP MEAD with enclosed top dot is where it’s at for GPR or SPR. Trijicon Credo is great
Does t-rex sale that leaver for locking the gun in the holster?
how do i find locations for the tactical games
my favorite trex video
Nice practical setup.
I wear a lot of xero shoes as well. One of the best barefoot style shoes.
Bro gotta say, I had the same emissary grip, then switched to Edgar sherma designs' pebble grip for my 10.3, and it's way better in my opinion. He also makes a fuller sized grip too if u want it longer. It doesn't have the tang so u can switch the safety way faster and easier
Great video. thx.
I’d be surprised if you haven’t, but have you tried the Timney trigger in the Glock?
I have! We really like Tactical Triggers for Glock. My Gen5 G17 just happens to have a really good trigger from factory, but it's still no 1911 style trigger.
This was a super cool vid!
Thank you for the info on the barefoot shoes and healthy foods such an overlook part of keeping your body heathy!
Damn….. expected to see gun stuff…Did not expect to be researching thornes supplements after a tactical games video…. “ just make sure you are not eating poison”….good advise.
Dang it man, I’m honestly impressed by this video. I appreciate the details!! Did you have any issues with debris or anything getting in your delta point pro and canted mount on your rifle ? Thank you. !!!
What kinda shoes are those?
Sending love💚💚💚
What brand are those shoes?
Is that plate cost per plate or for a pair? Sights not saying single or pair is kinda confusing to me.
Thats for a pair!
Why is drinking pre workout or energy before a shooting tournament not recommended?
Which LRF is shown here?
Please explain to me how problem with the gun that inch and a half off base anything easier? That’s the kind of stuff they just think everything else is bullshit too
i agree about the optics but the 1-8 atacr is still my favorite lpvo
It's legit. Since filming this, I'm considering swapping to that.
7:50 is that why you got a platypus?😂
Amazing 🤩
What background this dude have ?
I would like to see more TH-camrs ect to go with Polaner tactical on their competitions like Finish brutality ect!
Man I’ve been looking for protein bars and drinks like this for ages I despise artificial sweeteners.
Brandon talking about nutrition is extremely based lol
Mk5 HD 2-10 looks pretty nice to me
