I had a lot more fun going out to this event this year than I did last year. The friends I have made from the InRange community are some of the best guys out there. I cherish the moments I got to spend with the people I got to shoot with in my squad. No one has ever given me any real grief for being gay, or not behaving in a certain manner, or anything else. The only thing we cared about was that 1) we were safe and 2) we didnt phone it in on any of the stages. The Attitude of everyone there can best be summed up by two things: The amount of cheering Foxman (hunter) got for finishing dead last, and one of the phrases I heard uttered by more than one person at the event "You beat everyone who sat at home on the couch and didnt turn up" Great shooting Sinnistral, and thanks for sandbagging the trial run so all of us made out of flesh actually stood a chance.
yes! we need more behind the scenes, Karl looked very concerned about the match and also about you, even if he kept a straight face you can see the bond between you two. Nice
Just wanted to say thank you Russell. I enjoyed your commentary about the match and going into detail about your strategies and experience. For some one with very limited shooting match experience, it was really great to have an experienced competitor provide insight from this competition. Congratulations on your placement in both divisions!
Seriously though, that is a crazy time for this stage! It would be interesting to interview him and the other winners and see what their thoughts are on the stages and event.
Such a wholesome video to wrap up this series. Amazing. I watched what Cola Warriors is... jeez, now I know why Stoner did this good. 14:32 T-pose intensifies. 14:36 Blink with left eye twice at the next event. We will send help.
Thank you Mr. Phagan, that was a monstrous effort. I was cringing on every throw, after you made the comment about your shoulder. Take care of that shoulder, I hope it feels better. Thank all of you for what you do to further the shooting sports. It was great watching the match. I wish I could have attended and taken that last place win. It would have been totally worth it.
Sinstral is badass I always view him like heavy infantry and in a respectful way. Also I like how he threw that kettlebell because the other way looks like a back killer.
The between the legs way is from one of the basic kettlebell exercises, and in it, it's supposed to be legs and pelvis doing much of the work (thrusting forward). Of course with good form, which is not easy )
If you complete the stage I think you should get a special prize. Is there a company making military spec defibrillators that might sponsor Desert Brutality 2020? Thinking about it, is there a company making 20-20 mil spec eye glasses that'd sponsor it?
you sir... are the man. i love the fact that you were thinking of a better way to throw the kettle bell not in terms of distance but safety. [after coffee i have edited my English]
Could it be that the name and/or publicity of the event is attracting more novices to attend? Whenever I choose to attend events I always get drawn into the big ones, for example. And speaking of novices, I really want to get into practical shooting as a hobby, but getting around to it takes a lot of time here in Finland.
No doubt, I think that because Deser(e)t Brutality is an offspring of Karl, and as him and the event at least feel like known quantities thanks to all the material on InRange, it makes for a more easily approachable event to novices. Not to mention all the visibility that comes from Ian's fame.
I wish I could have shot this match but it just wasn't in the cards for me this year. I really enjoy shooting Phoenix two gun, you guys are great you're all welcoming, no egos and it's just a good environment.
Perhaps consider a hammer throw or discus spin on the kettle bell. It may be safer. I suspect the total weight on the bell might just be too much. Thank you for the work and sharing these videos InRange.
When Russell is swinging that kettlebell right over the rifle, I selfishly wish it would slip out of his hand and slam into the rifle just to see how it would hold up/what would happen. I wonder if it would still function. I guess it depends on where it impacts.
Kasarda Drill SAFETY for the future! Never let the kettlebell go bellow your knees in ANY throw. That makes the back bend too much. And besides that giving to the possibility of the competitor having a trip off the range in a strecher, bending your back also makes for a shitty throw. This goes for both two handed throws and side one arm throws.
This makes me really wanna get into 2 gun matches. I'm only 19, but hopefully I can save up some money this summer and get a decent AR and go shooting with some friends.
Andrew MN I have a business relationship with We Plead the 2nd. They make good holsters and do great Cerakote work. The cord was there for this match the whole time to be extra sure and avoid a DQ on the more physical stages.
kettle bells are strange beasts. In my gym we have very big ones that are fairly light, then in a separate room no one uses theres a few small, old all metal ones that look cute at first but weight like a car. Weird indeed.
Sorry if this is a stupid question but...what happens if due to fatigue you accidentally release the kettle bell on the back swing? do you have to go backwards??
I have said it in other videos and will say it again, sorry if you are getting bored of it, guys: kettlebell throws put an unreasonable strain on joints and lower back. You may not feel it now, but those microinjuries to cartilage add up.
0214Bub This is a summary not the exact rules. Classic: Firearms made before 1986 and replicas there of with Iron Sights. Rifles limited to 30 rounds, Pistols 15. Scout: Single optic on rifle, mags limited to 30. Iron sight pistol magazines limited to 140mm length or less. Armored: Scout Rules while wearing a Plate Carrier with rifle rated plates or plates that weigh 7 pounds each. Sport: Open Division do whatever you want. Armored +P: Rifle rated front and rear plates, Helmet, all ammo, all shooting related accessories on your person throughout every stage. No restrictions on firearms or accessories.
Wow, this is pretty good. Although I'd like to know the details of your stay at the event, minor things: food, accomodation, entertainment. Of course, I know all you did in the evenings is just watch the coyotes fark...but anyways... )
Could have made that a bit more difficult, and a completely no reset stage by making them run the kettlebell back and do a couple of pistol targets....... It does not surprise me that some people ended up injured throwing that. Kettlebell swings are dangerous even at lighter weights if someone doesn't know how to do them properly.
While atleast in the near future I won't be able to compete (being from europe makes that kind of hard), I would really want to do something like this as it seems like a fun event and has lots of physical parts aswell. I would not want to have it be pure shooting.
Yeah this stage definitely seems very brutal and I hope you or anybody else doesn't have any serious issues regarding health from participating in general
SinistralRifleman So glad your still good , I'm not new to this channel but this was the first time I've seen a desert brutality so I didn't know the scheduling and such , will check your channel out .
I thought this throwing kettle bell was rather interesting when I first saw it. Largest I could find was 40lb but that is plenty of weight, ha. This defiantly gasses you quickly. If you do not kill yourself doing these matches like this, you are going to seriously get in shape, ha. Just be careful of those injuries. Stoner won by SUCH a giant margin. He just rampaged though the Armored + division. Cola Warrior thing...I get all the dragging tires and stuff but what is with all the vomiting? I understand why people seem so interested in the Brutality matches. They are defiantly something special. More along the lines of training in a match environment more then other types of matches. I can not attend. Other side of the country. I can get ideas for my own personal stuff though, and I am sure that will help me in other types of matches too.
Karl: "That was too much." as Sinistral lies dying at his feet. Uh huh. Beast of a man to do that stage as many times as you did!
Just the way Karl was looking over Russel as he lays there trying not to die.
At least they gave him fifteen minutes
“Stop missing!” 😂
69Likes??Seems legit!

rtmthepenguin No one cares if your gay. As long as your not a furry degenerate... If your excited about the sonic movie, then we know...
Thanks for sharing all of your runs. You don't get to see the proving grounds for match stages very often.
Bernhard Schmid I agree Russell thanks for your view of the match. Really appreciate it.
yes! we need more behind the scenes, Karl looked very concerned about the match and also about you, even if he kept a straight face you can see the bond between you two. Nice

Damn sinistral is like an unsung hero of this match.
John Stoner strikes again. What an animal.
Seriously though, that is a crazy time for this stage! It would be interesting to interview him and the other winners and see what their thoughts are on the stages and event.
He shoots in my local match. He’s incredible. As you can see, he’s incredibly tall and he just jumps over obstacles
Such a wholesome video to wrap up this series. Amazing.
I watched what Cola Warriors is... jeez, now I know why Stoner did this good.
14:32 T-pose intensifies.
14:36 Blink with left eye twice at the next event. We will send help.

It was better 2 weeks later. You can come see me crushing matches since then on my channel.
I'm so glad that 2B came back for a second go at desert brutality tbh
like, if a crossplayer can fit in, surely I can, too
maybe in a couple years
FML, shooting this twice within 15 minutes. Hats off to you and everyone else who helped test the stages for the main event!

These videos have inspired me to get into 2 gun. That may have to wait until I get outta the army tho.
This truly shows that RB9k cannot be stopped, only slowed.
*RP9K
Sorry to hear that Russel. I feel you, my arm was hurt by repetitive motions of a...different nature.
bluemonday09 lmfao. It’s better now
At my age, I'd have gotten about halfway through that stage before having a heart attack. Do you get a penalty for those?
Al Thompson if you die on the course that’s your ticket to Valhalla or Warrior culture afterlife of your choice.
If you complete the stage I think you should get a special prize. Is there a company making military spec defibrillators that might sponsor Desert Brutality 2020? Thinking about it, is there a company making 20-20 mil spec eye glasses that'd sponsor it?
Yes. Par time plus anything you haven't engaged yet.
@@SinistralRifleman you're nicer than Cola Warrior, they have a penalty for dying and vomiting. those guys are truly nuts.
Man that 1st go on this stage was brutal. You did damn good man, damn good. Impressive!
1st place: coolio!
2nd place: be stoic, be stoic, be stoic...
3rd place: IM GUN JESUS YO IDGAF WOOOOOOOH!!!
This content and behind the scene video is awesome! I love it
running that stage 3x is Brutal! Kick Ass! thanks also for your unvarnished assessment of both the stage as well as your performance.
Words of wisdom from Phagan-san. Arigato gozaimasu.
Hell yeah Russel, very proud
Love ya bro. Good work out there. Here's to 3 years in a row ⛴️⛴️⛴️
really intresting seeing "behind the scenes" how something like this comes together
you sir... are the man. i love the fact that you were thinking of a better way to throw the kettle bell not in terms of distance but safety. [after coffee i have edited my English]
Still an awesome video, can't wait for the next big match!
How can a man who is not in physically great shape, power through stuff like this 3 times?! Fucking impressive man, and your shooting is great
thegurem because mindset matters more than anything else

You f***ing rock Phagan, good stuff!
That last stage must've been exhausting! Good job
Great job.
Hey Tactical Teletubby, if you're reading these comments, post more videos! We want to see you shoot too!
Way to go buddy, keep up the good work !
I really hope I'll be able to attend this match one day
Does the database have some sort of floating point error? I know there couldn't have been a timer there that accurate.
Perhaps consider a hammer throw or discus spin on the kettle bell. It may be safer. I suspect the total weight on the bell might just be too much. Thank you for the work and sharing these videos InRange.
sir do you like those Arc'teryx knee pads. I looking into getting a new pair of knee pads

Ready to go again Russell? ....Russell? Can you hear me Russell.....Medic!
Great job man!!!!
This looks so cool, I wish I lived in that area so I could participate.
Great job!
Monster! Well done!!
Russell. Does. Not. Quit.
Range trap spotted 😍

Finally we see John Stoner!

16 here, me too! Not too many gun enthusiast people in my area though sadly
@@weasle2904 just got to find them
Beast performance! what a legend
Damn Russel, you are an animal!
How did you like the kydex from We Plead the Second? I notice you have a retention cord on your holster for this round.
Andrew MN I have a business relationship with We Plead the 2nd. They make good holsters and do great Cerakote work.
The cord was there for this match the whole time to be extra sure and avoid a DQ on the more physical stages.
That kettlebell is brutal on the body ! Has any consideration ever been given to using a "Shot Put" ball instead ?
The kettle bell doesn't LOOK hard to throw. Then you see large men grunting in anger hip tossing it and realize you've made a severe miscalculation.
kettle bells are strange beasts. In my gym we have very big ones that are fairly light, then in a separate room no one uses theres a few small, old all metal ones that look cute at first but weight like a car. Weird indeed.
Sorry if this is a stupid question but...what happens if due to fatigue you accidentally release the kettle bell on the back swing? do you have to go backwards??
That sounds like it would realy suck. even if you only have to shoot in the same place.
Yes.
@@InrangeTv has this happened?
LOVE IT!
Karl at 3:33 is standing pretty sassy like.
Does Russell wilt in the presence of green Kryptonite?
I have said it in other videos and will say it again, sorry if you are getting bored of it, guys: kettlebell throws put an unreasonable strain on joints and lower back. You may not feel it now, but those microinjuries to cartilage add up.
I have to watch again, but I think Ian came in at 186 seconds on this stage in competition?
Why are some of the stage times + or - like .0000000000000002?
moosemaimer practiscore web error that doesn’t really effect anything.
It comes down to how practiscore is storing the numbers in their database.
Is the point to keep your heart rate high so you're managing marksmanship under literal pressure?
yes, also fatigue in your arms makes it way harder to keep steady
hey look its me at the bottom of armored+p :P
I felt kind of bad for Russell. That boy had a hard couple or so days. Btw what is Scout Division?
0214Bub This is a summary not the exact rules.

Did the rules allow shooting from kneeling position? Seems like at some point you could still get hits and it be less strain in the up-down.
Bill Stevens prone is required
heavy-ish medicine ball granny throws maybe? Or hell, make people push a heavy sled or roll an atlas stone?
Is John Stoner in any way related to Eugine?
Could have made that a bit more difficult, and a completely no reset stage by making them run the kettlebell back and do a couple of pistol targets.......
It does not surprise me that some people ended up injured throwing that. Kettlebell swings are dangerous even at lighter weights if someone doesn't know how to do them properly.

Nils Kahle If you can make it to Finland there is also Finnish brutality.
One squad had an Australian that came out as well.
Holy shit two people did the Kasarda drill in just over a minute
Edward Zhou That is the time after bonuses. Add 75 seconds for the actual time
Dude is John Stoner the Terminator? To get 60 seconds on this stage.... holy shit!
Happymrsnowman that’s after bonuses were deducted. Add 75 seconds for the raw time
Yeah this stage definitely seems very brutal and I hope you or anybody else doesn't have any serious issues regarding health from participating in general
jose M my arm was better 2 weeks later. This event was at the beginning of February. Come over to my channel to see all the matches since then.
SinistralRifleman
So glad your still good , I'm not new to this channel but this was the first time I've seen a desert brutality so I didn't know the scheduling and such , will check your channel out .
T-pose ftw
Southern Brutality anyone???
Letting the kettlebell's potential energy do some of the throwing for you was a good idea, as opposed to just heaving forward it with zero momentum.
don't subscribe to russell's channel unless you're going to watch the videos.
Are you guys allowed to overhand throw the kettlebell? Seems like you might get a bit more distance out of it if you can.
hornmonk3zit i think it would be a little heavy for that, and quite hard on the body
@@509Gman I was thinking more of a two handed ax throw.
what about a roundhouse (?) throw you know like the olympic ones where you swing it 360°
Ping...I can die now?:)
Well, I guess now we all know what would Stoner do.... :P
Colabros!!
You could of had the shooter run the kettlebell back to the start then there would be no stage reset!
ahh thats kettlebells throwing seems bad for the articulations
LET'S WIN A SEA TUGGER!!

Poor Russell.
Jace Berger all existence is suffering. Choose your form of it.
SinistralRifleman Wow, that was deep. 🤔
Cozplay and larping are accepted huh? I'd like to see someone compete in full fursuit. That'd be pretty fun to watch ..
Honestly, it wouldn't be.
Just how is it possible to clear that stage in 61.16 seconds? What did he do to the poor kettlebell?!
Omanimi Tokanimi that’s time after bonuses are deducted. Raw time is +75 seconds.
STOP MISSING!!!
