TacticoolGF leaving content creation was heartbreaking. There's so few places where progressive politics (or even just non-regressive politics tbh) and firearms intersect in a healthy manner. I'm very greatful for InRangeTV
I'm not even in the US, but I've appreciated InRangeTV's work in community building and being a progressive voice for a long time. You finally convinced me to hop on that Patreon!
@@DeviantOllam Thank you for being a progressive voice who is also advocating for being prepared. It makes me feel a little less crazy when telling friends in my leftie circles that I train with FArms.
9:43 "Karl is up there carrying so much load" missed opportunity to put a still of Karl running the Glock Horse stage lol the brutality matches are always so creative, I wish I could actually make it out to one. one of his videos really early on, he shouted you out and I've loved hearing you talk about whatever random thing since then. Still the only person I've ever been excited to hear talk about fire sprinklers, lol.
I competed in high desert brutality 2023 and was lucky enough to get to squad with Karl, Russel, and TGF. It was such an incredibly fun and unique day of shooting that I remarked to Karl at the end that I didn’t know how I was going to go back to regular old USPSA (which I still compete in, tbf). My wife, who isn’t a big shooter but is gracious enough to come out to the occasional match to support me, still brings up what a great time she had hanging out with TGF and her crew. Can’t recommend brutality matches highly enough to anyone who wants to push themselves and their gear and meet some awesome folks!
The IRTV Patreon gets you access to the discord which is full of super knowledgeable and helpful people who have a lot of different points of view but everyone agrees that we need to take care of each other regardless of who we are or where we come from. Another benefit is access to discounts for KE arms and it pretty much pays for itself and helps you directly support Russell Phagan who has done a ton of work building up IRTV and advocating for everyone to be welcome in the community.
OMG - I been preaching this for years! I don’t know how many people I have seen running expensive gucci tactical crap that some kid behind the counter at Bass Pro Shop said Seal Team 7 and 3/4s carry - jamming - falling apart. Lots of arm chair experts with opinions based purely on forums populated by other arm chair experts. Ya want to know if it works in the dark, in the rain, on your belly in the mud. Then $&@! Go do it. Competition is a test bed for all the stuff that can go sideways. I’ve found out that some of my improvements were disasters waiting to happen. By the way - I’m headed over to inrange - promise to become a patreon member- Best wishes for the holidays- thank you for all you do to keep the torch lit.

If it's not too much of a drag on the work, please do provide intros and links to these kinds of things as often as you can! Thank you!
If it helps, it's just fear-mongering. Ignore the DNC and TV fear-mongering. Granted, some won't understand and question your mental health, but Trump isn't Fidel Castro (who put gays in camps).
Adding my own small and insignificant endorsement as an individual. InRange is thoughtful, thought-provoking, and interesting. And yes I've put my own money where my mouth is for quite some time now.
I would like to add, simply, that if this interests you, and you can be safe with a firearm while moving, then you meet the per-requisites for attending.
Karl rocks, this looks like a great time. I'll definitely try and show up if he's ever running something in the PNW. Hate flying with firearms personally so I'd be far more likely to take a group if we could road trip to the event.
Thank you for posting this! I knew there was SOME type of competition like this but I couldn't remember. I've started to get back into shooting and this is the type of stuff and community (Inclusive) I'm looking for. I've subscribed to InRange's patreon as well.
@DeviantOllam Could you post some of the specs on the rifle you were shooting at the 5:01 mark in the video (I think you said something about Hoffman Tactical?
Beautiful video, and heartily agreed all around. The Brutality match community is phenomenal, and there isnt really anything else like it out there. Im looking forward to High Desert this year, ive got some fun stuff planned for our Autumn Pact contribution 🍂☢️🍂
Deviant I realize the videos are a labor of love. "The web site that shall not be mentioned" so as to keep "giving back" separate from making money or shilling. Also share the video. Those who do not know firearms are the most dangerous. Just like "paint ball" I'd rather fail at a Brutality match than to fail in real life. Thanks. 2025 is going to be better. Uphill possibly but we can think and act positively.
Don't be afraid to do what Casey Ladelle does on his towing channel. He takes the proceeds and gives people free towing. You could simply donate to charity or folks like Kara when needed. I know she was taken care of, but that's just an example. Managing it could be the issue, I certainly can't blame you for that.
5:45 Classic WV weather, especially down in the southern part of the state. We like to say "Welcome to West-by-God-Virginia, where the weather's made up and the seasons don't matter."
What's the story with that honey badger pull up patch?? I like honey badgers and the rest of those patches, so I'm assuming I want one, but I don't know what it means.
"This [badge] is a response to those who seek to use the Gadsden Flag to push their divisive and hateful ideals. There is no room for you here." -From the, A Better Way 2A, website.
Oh yeah, you're not obligated to camp at the match. I mean a few people do, mostly van camping, but I was really just referring to the fact that I'm not someone who likes to be slopping my way through mud outside in averse conditions
@@DeviantOllam Thanks for responding, Dev! Decent beds and showers are on my "must-have" list. Slogging through the mud isn't high on my list of "fun times," but it's definitely not a deal killer.
Man, now I want to take my Great War guns to one of these shoots just for the comedy value. (part of the comedy being that a 110-year-old SMLE III* and Webley MkVI apparently have a lower failure rate than your Glock 😜And yeah, ol' Gaston was really into equestrian sports, good for him. I can think of Austrians who had worse hobbies.)
I've seen someone take an M1 Garand to a tactical rifle match. It wasn't _competitive_ with modern platforms, but it looked fun and worked well. It's not about winning. There's always going to be someone better and faster. It's all about having fun and testing your gear and skills.
I'm not God country guns enough to be involved in any matches I want to go to, even local 3 gun shuns you if they don't see you at church. I gave up on socializing with the firearm community here because of that.
I do really like the idea of these matches. Going out and running drills can be dull. Going out and stealing tech from a cybernetic strong hold, fun times, and I am basically getting the same training. I do not think I will ever make it out there though. The last 3 years have been devastating. I can not even afford hot running water anymore let alone ammo and travel. I guess if we get a cold snap the wife and I can burn our multiple degrees to stay warm, haha. Strange economy. I also do not think I would get along with everyone there, so I will be content with watching you weirdos (said as a term of endearment) from a distance.
Easy Prince (?) looked like they were wearing German Flecktarn camo. Also: Why is it called brutality? I could not really find a reason for it. Because it is brutal on the people, gear, scoring?
Wasn’t sure where was the best place to ask you this question…but seeing how this video relates to match shooting… …here it goes… Ben Stoeger’s logo is a unicorn. Any idea if he is any kind of ally? I try to be really careful when voting with my money Thanks!!
Ben Stoeger is one of the best shooters in the world and an excellent instructor. In his classes he’s professional and only cares about people getting better at shooting. He is a consummate troll and shit stirrer online. The unicorn logo itself is a troll related to a model of pistol he used to compete with IIRC. You should not look to Ben as an ally in anything. Just an educational and gun review resource.
I suggest you change the title/thumbnail to explain the term, because “brutality” and “fun and community building” were not two concepts I expected to be in the same video and I almost skipped the video entirely.
Anyone: We had a whole lotta failures due to bad weather and mud. Literally every AK guy: in horrible Russian accent "da AK is best rifle ever created. You must buy AK comrade. Lol I just bought the exact same chassis system you used in the video. Its the CAA MCK Gen2 i bought one for a S&W Shield 40SW. It's definitely not a reliable self defense option but its fun in its own way. I bought it cuz it came with the chassis and a bunch of the optional attachments for 199.99 at grabagun for black Friday.
Every time I take the political compass test, I'm always bottom edge, middle left. I consider myself to be progressive, and I voted for Trump. I know it sounds paradoxical, but it's precisely *because* I care about the well-being of minorities (of any variation -- sexual, racial, etc.) as well as the injustices of big business that I voted for him. A comment section isn't the right place to elaborate on or explain any of this, but I suspect a great many of your viewers see it the way I do and are Trump voters. Some reluctant, some enthusiastic. We are not bigots. We love you and we love what you do and we love your friends, no matter their identity package. Brutality sounds awesome! Merry Christmas, Dev. Keep up the good work.
You may not be, and good for you, but voting for someone is is to support bigotry and worse. I'm not sure what to say to someone who says they aren't that, but then go promote someone who is.
@@InrangeTv Mostly because the propaganda and Trump's words and deeds are different. Trump owes much of his success to a gay guy named Scott Pressler. If you assume any center-right populists who voted for Trump because they support smaller government and less corporate power are bigots and fascists? Watching the words and deeds of the alternatives, voting for Harris would be voting for an authoritarian corporatist in a party that has an antisemitism problem (especially in the more progressive wing, which is why she picked Walz over the PA governor). What is wrong with treating everyone individually and accepting them on their own terms?
Presumably you guys understand how frustrating it is to be a lefty who's into guns. You're deviants. You likely have many friends who think you're a wacko -- how can you be pro-gun and on the left? Can't you see that guns are to blame for mass shootings? If you're pro-gun, you must not care about human life, right? Maybe you like seeing dead children in the news? "One of my favorite hobbies is to practice using tools for murder because I just can't stand murder." Bruh. Obviously that's an unfair characterization. There are principled reasons why you might be a pro-gun, pro-2A lefty. Those characterizations are obviously borne out of an uncharitable assumption about your motivations. So it is with progressive Trump voters. We're deviants. We have principled reasons for voting for him, and you'd be wise to figure out what those reasons *actually* are, rather than assuming it's because of bigotry or ignorance or stupidity or whatever.

High Desert Brutality is in Parma Idaho, which is reasonably PNW adjacent
Parma's just a few hours East on I-84; right over the border in Idaho. Amazing range, and High Desert Brutality is fantastic.
HDB is definitely worth the trip. It's just outside of Boise in Idaho.
I already have been supporting Karl for a while. You're spot on on what he's trying to do here.

this is amazing and I hope I can support in the future!!
Nice!!! I'm super jealous you got to go! Well done!
3:30 Why does the barrel flex so much after every shot?
That's a pistol inside of a chassis. So when the slide cycles, the barrel actually tilts.
Karl is one of the best of us.
I am not going to sub to Karl’s Patreon…. Because I already do! 🎉😂
