Congrats on the podium, and for the respect shown to the services. You SHOULD show more match content!!! This was a great perspective, concise and delivered well, plus it really ads merit to the knowledge demonstrated in your reviews and evaluations of gear, across the board. Thanks for producing great content.
Wow that is a legitimate test of physical stamina and coordination. I could see even someone who put in hard prep training burning themselves out on early stages and not having enough left in the tank to finish the match out without delays or making too many mistakes due to fatigue. The physical tasks would assuredly have an degrading effect on your shooting by wearing out your grip strength and the high cardio demand. Kudos to you for stepping up to the challenge!!
Congratulations X-Ring , fantastic effort and great result . Man that look like hard going but a heap of fun . For a middle aged guy you put many 20 and 30 year olds to shame in regards to agility and fitness 😀.
@@XRING WOW, Sir....your channel is the MOST intense and inspiring outlet for actual knowledge transfer to regulars like myself! I am Canadian and your content is stratospheric for us up here where our ARs are rendered safe-queens.....it is an absolute JOY and privilege to live vicariously through you! Also!-- my uncle is down there at Fort Bragg....and we are planning a visit...maybe I'll check out the X-Ring and see you in action someday soon!🇨🇦🇺🇸🇨🇦🇺🇸 God bless you and Godspeed.
Thanks so much for sharing X-Ring. I had to pause the video to take a break myself watching you drag and carry, then engage targets:-) Congratulations on a solid performance.
Really interesting match Ray. It used to be just about the accuracy. This is full contact sport. Let's throw in some flash/bangs going off in the middle of a shooting stage. It is a real testament to your skill that you could step into this new discipline and pull off a 2nd place.
Nice job Ray, I could tell that chain drag was eating your lunch but you showed it who was boss😂🙌🏾😉 That looks like an amazing match for a great cause, hope to see you in September so you can make fun of me in return😋
Nicely done Sir. I busted out laughing when you mentioned the "How big the SF guys are"...LOL... Most of them do not even have a clue how huge they are. When they spend so much time around other SF Kats, that are equally large men, the size becomes normalized, so the competitive nature to keep trying to be bigger then their brothers, it never stops, LOL... With out mentioning names, a Firend of mine, his wife "who rules the house with a cast iron feather" mentioned that she wanted to redo the bedroom suit, so she can get rid of the king sized bed, and install two king sized beds, LOL... Every time he gets home, the bed kept getting smaller and sunken in, LOL... She is just a dinky thing, and when he is home sleeping, there is a thin line she can fit in/on, just because he is so dang big, no neck having monster... lol... He is like 6'2" 320 to 340 lbs and like 2% body fat... LOL What is crazy funny, is she loves how tough he is, he can pick her dinky a$$ up with one arm with no efforts, and yet, the partnership they have together, is unbreakable, as he like her being the boss of the household and they both excite each other.. It is pretty neat to witness. She has a warrior at her command, yet, she bows down to him in efforts to beg for peace. to love and honor him. I'll tell you what, I pity the fool who ever dares to harm his family, as that is the only thing in this world that guilds him in a positive manor. He does what he does, for the well being of our nation, it's beloved people, but, his levelness view of always desiring to be the best for the job, is guided by that mans family. I was pulling an engine a few years ago out of one of my race cars, and he was over just chilling, I spent about 30 minutes cleaning up the pathway for the engine hoist and he is like "My god, get out of the way, you are driving me nuts".. He reaches in, lift the engine (THE WHOLE ENGINE & TRANSMISSION) out in one go, in like 5 seconds and is standing there holding it like a 50 lb bag of dog food, asking where do I want it to go... "Umm, just set it on the tire over there"... My god man, Don't ever do that again, I don't want to getting hurt and ruining your career over a stupid engine... He laughed at me and mentioned that have engines on base that they sling around and is just another day...LOL.. When you see something like that, it is not normal how second nature it is for them to "JUST DO IT" that the rest of us must resort to "Work smarter not harder".. Well, only those Kats are allowed to work harder, even though, that is ot hard for them, Just another day for them...lol Pardon the novel, I just felt like writing my laughter out... But, Yes, those S.F. Kats ain't no joke on how dang huge they are, I mean, they are just big dudes, and they are smart AF too. I must mention that as well, as I don't want to convey that they are just a bunches of lumbering brute dummy's, oh no, they are exceptionally smart and well educated, fully backed by the desire to never stop learning. Another funny note, I have chairs in my shop, that I purchased FOR HIM, That I have the back rest silk screened with the MAX lbs so he doesn't accidentally sit on a normal person chair and break it and risk being hurt by landing on his tail bone or something stupid like that, but, that can handle his weigh and comfort, as regular folding chairs, are unsafe for men like him.
Wow. I turn 56 this Fall and want to run this before I'm 57! This is such an inspiration. Quick rules question: Did you have to drag the chain hand-over-hand, or could you run down, put the chain over your shoulder, and drag it back they way we remove an injured person?
I've known both; sf dudes who were physical specimens, and sf dudes who were skinny as a rail. It's weird how that works and I think there were eras where one or the other were more predominant. I know in the Vietnam era they tended to be leaner.
I'll just add that when I think of just how unassuming these guys can be sometimes, I think of Mike Vinning. Look him up if you wanna see the world's deadliest nerd lol.
I’m around a LOT of these guys throughout the year. I know exactly what you are saying about their appearance. However, I have seen many that are “lean” but never skinny as a rail. Even the lean ones are pure muscle.
Well, depends on what division you want to shoot. If not open division, Safariland ELS. For open division, I use a battle belt setup by G-code. Holster needs to be a hooded retention holster like a G-code or red hill tactical.
Thank you for replying!! My husband is SF but at 5th group. He’s at Bragg going through the fox course so he was going to trying to do it. Is it only for 3rd group?
Joe Farewell is a beast and a teammate for Cobalt Kinetics. He has won the last 4 major matches that I know of. Matches are based off of points that are determined by the time of the fastest shooter for the stage. I can give you one example of time on a single stage. So on like stage 5 I think I was the 13th fastest. The difference in time was around 11 seconds. Fastest time got 100 match points where I get 82 points.
I’m only watching the first stage so far, but this is ridiculous… Are we doing “worlds strongest man”, or shooting? Make up your damn mind, but don’t mix the two (match director).

For sure! They both killed it out there.
Good stuff..Love seeing the challenges..
Nice job Ray congratulations on 2nd thanks John
I was on camp Duskin in 2013 with the group guys there. Got there November and the camp changed in April to Duskin.
Damn that was rough. Congrats on finishing the thing, let alone place 2nd. 👏 Bravo
Thanks so much for sharing X-Ring. I had to pause the video to take a break myself watching you drag and carry, then engage targets:-) Congratulations on a solid performance.
There is no way any country would invade the US with everyday Americans are able to perform like you Ray!!! Nice job!
Wow that’s absolutely a hard one. Good job💪
Awesome video as always. Those courses look fun. I’d love to run it one day!
This is going to be awesome
That looked like so much fun and Well built!
I highly recommend that regular folks get fit enough to participate in the Tactical Games.
Congrats Ray on a great match amazing memories made there
Pretty cool, I didn’t know they had a 3gun match with for him. I went to basic with his son in 2013
Dang that looks so fun (I'm definitely not qual'd to do any of it lol). I understand the security but would love to see the SF Gents run the course

Damn. 3 Gun has evolved by leaps and bounds since I started 25 years ago. I pulled a muscle just watching....
Well done bud, that coarse looked hard enough without hauling them weights!!!!
Three Gun certainly has become a Serious Event!! 😱DVC L-1050😉
Have you thought about having another PRS course?
Damn Joe Farwell.... that was some american ninja warrior 3 gun. Looks super fun!
I wasn’t even in the same zip code as Joe. He killed it !
Nice job Ray, I could tell that chain drag was eating your lunch but you showed it who was boss😂🙌🏾😉 That looks like an amazing match for a great cause, hope to see you in September so you can make fun of me in return😋

Congrats, Ray!
Great job Ray in the match. The only SF gentleman that I personally know is only 5’8” combat medic with a DSC as his highest award.
Nicely done!
Congratulations, awesome runs.
Congrats Man !!!......Hell of an accomplishment there overall, not to mention your age......TOTALLY Awesome & Impressive fer sure !!!!
Thanks Eric! One of the first things I noticed at this match is that there weren’t a lot of grey haired folks running around 😂
@@XRING ....lol.....KNOW exactly what you mean.....
Good Job Brotherman!
GOOD JOB , WELL DONE SIR!!!
Aww man you did great.! I stength train 3 days a week and run 3 miles on the fourth day. And that course intimidated me just watching you run it..! 👍
Nice job !! kiss :) Ray !!
from me too Katy
Never seen a course like that , great runs
FINALLY!!! Some 3 gun I can get down with!!!
Alien green magazines from the BEST, Lancer....sad I don't have any but I do have Blaze Orange mags...
Stage 4 you did well
Hell of a job!
This course is insane!
Great job Ray! Now I need a nap.
Wow Ray congratulations that looks crazy 🤪
Love it!
Wow! That looks very physical!
Exhausted just watching this. Definitely looks fun though!
Did I hear a little select fire AK pew pew after the bay door went up?😁
Yes you did Tim! Great ear. 👍🏼
Congratulations Ray !
Congrats Ray!
Lil iron man run and gun!! nice!! 👍🍻
Congrats. Wish I was younger and could compete
The gun is always The Equalizer.
OUCH! with a Nice finish!
Challenging for sure very cool
Wow. I turn 56 this Fall and want to run this before I'm 57! This is such an inspiration.
Quick rules question: Did you have to drag the chain hand-over-hand, or could you run down, put the chain over your shoulder, and drag it back they way we remove an injured person?
Hey Flatline!
You had to stay in the box to pull the chain. You couldn’t run down to grab it.
I've known both; sf dudes who were physical specimens, and sf dudes who were skinny as a rail. It's weird how that works and I think there were eras where one or the other were more predominant. I know in the Vietnam era they tended to be leaner.
I'll just add that when I think of just how unassuming these guys can be sometimes, I think of Mike Vinning. Look him up if you wanna see the world's deadliest nerd lol.
I’m around a LOT of these guys throughout the year. I know exactly what you are saying about their appearance. However, I have seen many that are “lean” but never skinny as a rail. Even the lean ones are pure muscle.
I bet over %80 of 20 years old can’t do just the physical I’m not even saying anything about shooting. Respect ✊
I'd love to get to compete in one of these matches
Nice. What is your belt and mag pouches? Do you have link where to buy them? I am getting into 3 guns.
Well, depends on what division you want to shoot.
If not open division, Safariland ELS. For open division, I use a battle belt setup by G-code.
Holster needs to be a hooded retention holster like a G-code or red hill tactical.
I'm only at the beginning of the video, sitting in my chair and sweating already....
But makes me wanna do something similar and looks fun.
Damn
👍👍
pretty cool you got 2nd despite the bench press. i'm guessing most guys couldn't do it. doesn't seem like a very practical skill in any case
Joe is lucky is bit younger then us :):)
Are they doing one this year? My husband is looking for this competition.
Yes it is. However this one is invite only.
Thank you for replying!!
My husband is SF but at 5th group.
He’s at Bragg going through the fox course so he was going to trying to do it.
Is it only for 3rd group?
What was your time compared to the fastest time?
Joe Farewell is a beast and a teammate for Cobalt Kinetics. He has won the last 4 major matches that I know of.
Matches are based off of points that are determined by the time of the fastest shooter for the stage. I can give you one example of time on a single stage.
So on like stage 5 I think I was the 13th fastest. The difference in time was around 11 seconds. Fastest time got 100 match points where I get 82 points.
🤙🏻💪🏼🇺🇲
Also, you look like the walmart kentucky ballistics! Only joking of course!
Still showing the young bucks how to do it right
Any idea what your heart rate was ?
I’m only watching the first stage so far, but this is ridiculous… Are we doing “worlds strongest man”, or shooting? Make up your damn mind, but don’t mix the two (match director).
Ray is stone cold
Lol! Just an old man having fun. 👍🏼
