It's nice to see Karl so excited for someone to show up. He seems to be a HUGE supporter of the less-than-normal crowd to join these matches. I remember coming from WI for the very 1st DB. Loved the match and I hope you had as much fun as I did my first comp.
Karl is so good with us weirdos who show up to these matches. He's almost definitely uncomfortable as hell the entire time (ew people gross) but yeah, he absolutely shines at these. Cool dude.
Karl is almost defiantly supportive. The venom he gets from the traditionalists seems to only make him more intent on supporting people usually excluded from this area.
The Kasarda drill would just straight up kill me, great job on finishing it! Also I loved seeing my two favorite gun channels collaborating on a video, and the Doom-themed stage names were a nice touch as well.
But so simple to train for, get a light one and go, you don't even have to shoot to start just do it as exercise, Throw, go, get down, get up throw repeat. Once it's less of a torture get a new KB. Go in stages, 3 or 4 wks at a time, improve, distance & time.
I can see myself trying it. They'd find me on top of my rifle dead from a heart attack. "Area man found dead in gun related suicide"... That's the headline.😆
That Kasarda drill gets much easier as you can throw that kettlebell farther. My over 50 year old body got that stage done in 7 throws which means I was much less winded. You did that stage in nearly twice as many throws which means twice as many burpees. I saw you figured out to lie next to the kettlebell (at hip level or so) so you don't have to walk to the kettlebell to grab/throw it. Another tip is to push the rifle forward after you get the hit. That way you can move more forward on the throw without the worry of accidentally stepping in front of the rifle AND you don't have to go backwards to grab the rifle after the throw.
1st Brutality match and 2nd 2-Gun match ever --- you scored above the 50th percentile both overall and in your decision. Sounds to me like you did great. Well done. Can't wait to see how you apply lessons learned and do even better on the next one.
Excellent work! loved seeing you work through the fatigue and never give up. Honestly find that more inspiring than an old pro sailing through the stages.
I love this video, i've been hoping this channel would do something like this. I really enjoy seeing people you wouldn't normally see at these kind of events get in on them, it's definitely needed within the community.
do you ever take long shots while sitting on your butt and cross legged? i prefer that over kneeling by a HUGE amount because i get two points of support (both elbows). i use all my leg muscles to move my knees up and down while resting an elbow on each knee. it probably looks weird, but that's how i was taught to shoot a long gun from the ground. its also pretty fast to get up and run or flop around or whatever you need. if you have strong tights, you can just stand straight up from sitting like that (with a half turn to uncross your legs).
Yes! I've done that plenty. I still feel like it's less dynamic.. for an even less stable, but more dynamic position, I like the squat, but that's a whole different ball game altogether. Still, a good sitting position with proper arm-to-leg support is an excellent shooting platform.
I think the kettle bell courses are my favorite to watch. With any luck my .308 build will be done in time for West Virginia. That’s the next one that’s within a reasonable distance to me. If you’re there good luck to you, and take care❤️🖤❤️🖤
That was fun! I love youtube Brutality match videos. Please consider doing a followup video of this match experience and insights you've obtained from it.
To not to get dehydrated, drink alot of water before you train. If you're not peeing by 10 AM, then you are dehydrated. This was taught to me by a retired USMC 1st Bn 7th Marines Scout Sniper. Pat Rogers USMC (R.I.P.) used to hand out a hydration tablet to every student. Also, when going prone, keeping both heels on the ground will give you a more stable platform. Good job!
@Grimace427 In training classes that I've taken, there always seems to be too much testosterone on the range. You try to make suggestions, based on experience and they don't listen or think they know it all. I'm there to learn, take notes and often review them after class. Because training and ammo is definitely not cheap.
Awesome of you to show us full stages instead of just showing the highlights. Good on you for shooting this match and bringing us with you. Also that hat 😂😂
Great!, i hated to move with all the gear, crawl, jump, sprint, go prone and all that stuff, but i loved it at the end; hope it was your case. Wanted to see how you did on a DB match and imo you did it well and with a possitive attitude, that's great.
great video I am still angry that I didn't get to go to this year's DB I have missed 2 at this point and I am not happy about that. It is such a great event
I highly suggest getting heavy kettlebell swings into your training routine. It's a great exercise and adjustable weight kettlebell can be made really cheaply. It was great to watch you in this format and i hope we will see more competition footage in the future ;)
Kbell swings and dry fire practice is the way to improving your pistol accuracy under stress. ten swings, ten trigger presses. Don't deny it til you try it.
I definitely want to get myself to a brutality match one of these days. Looks like a good deal of fun and haven't gotten to shoot stuff like that since I still wore cammies haha.
Came here from the link on Karl's site. To Tacticool Girlfriend, YOU GO GIRL! Added the site to my favorites. As has been said at other Brutality evens embrace the suck, and you did.
Why is youtube not sending me the notifications of your uploads? If I hadn't seen this on InRange, I wouldn't have seen it at all. I've been subscribed for a while and I have notifications turned on, yet I STILL don't always get notified by YT when you are uploading. And Good Match. I hope to see more in the future.
Super interesting watching this one after watching Ian's. I think I would have definitely bonked my head on the barrels at least once reaching for the kettle bell on the "Only thing they fear is you" stage.
Hey TG never seen your channel before somehow, sometimes google isn't as good at seeing intersection as we'd like I guess. Great shooting, new sub just saying hi.
Nice! It seemed like you adapted well to an unfamiliar environment and became more confident and aggressive as the match progressed. Also, kudos to you for stepping out of your comfort zone and sharing this experience.

He was super nice at Cornfield.

@@mrg315 💯💯💯, and bless him for that
Super nice at woodland. Great guy and really wants these matches to have a solid supportive community.
This is the crossover I needed today, well done.
I'm an InRange TV viewer, and now a TGF subscriber. It's wild to see how far society has come, in all the best ways.
Honestly its really cool seeing the two people who made me wanna get into this stuff the most in the same video.
I love this. It seems like Tacticool came up during the pandemic and now she’s getting out which is awesome. Huge fan of this.
The Kasarda drill would just straight up kill me, great job on finishing it! Also I loved seeing my two favorite gun channels collaborating on a video, and the Doom-themed stage names were a nice touch as well.
The sign says "KARL BAD MAN" and it's because the Kasarda drill is PUNISHMENT FOR HUMANITY!

She did damn good considering thats her first time running such a course. A+ for the kettle bell drill.
Definitely, for someone who's never thrown a kettlebell she did really well on the drill. Good shots the whole way
It surely helps when you have the muscle and bone structure of a man who's gone through male PEUBERTY. A real girl aint throwing that thing like that

I see the less strong you are, the more it tests your endurance. Clever.
I've been so excited for this video! Really happy to see another collab between my two favorite creators. Also, obligatory Karl Bad Man

my favorite guntubers together
genuinely so glad someone recommended me to ur channel, this is fire.
"Shores on Hell" and "Barrels of Fun" - I love the DOOM references. Top tier stuff.
I love this video, i've been hoping this channel would do something like this. I really enjoy seeing people you wouldn't normally see at these kind of events get in on them, it's definitely needed within the community.
omg the KARL BAD MAN written on the barricades on stage 1. thats hilarious

Always nice when the sane side of gun content on youtube comes together and you seem to have had fun outside of your biom 🙂
That’s awesome that you got to participate in Desert Brutality. Nice shooting, much love from Texas!
Once you start down the 2-gun dark path forever will it dominate your destiny! Glad you had fun 💜
Great video. Great content. Looking forward to more.
I need more Tacticool Girlfriend & InRangeTV collabs in my life. Great shooting too!
a q&a episode would be awesome
Imagine a Karl, T.G., and Robert Evans episode
@@TheAlaskaAdventuresthey did one a year or so ago!
Those spinners sure as hell aren't easy. Glad to hear you enjoyed that event!
The visibility on these was definitely difficult
It's it easier to concentrate on the top or alternate between both ends of the spinner?
Omg love you showing your knowledge on the flat range. Thank you for being such an icon!
I’m sure I would’ve broken down crying mid-way through the kettle bell part if I even lasted that long. Great work and awesome crossover!
That kettlebell kicked my ass at cornfield brutality. On the upside it motivated me to actually consistently exercise since then
Two of my favorite channels mashed up!
Great work. Always good to push ourselves on the clock with new obstacles. Thanks for sharing your experience.
I think the kettle bell courses are my favorite to watch. With any luck my .308 build will be done in time for West Virginia. That’s the next one that’s within a reasonable distance to me. If you’re there good luck to you, and take care❤️🖤❤️🖤
That was an amazing first time on the Texas Star
glad you could make it out, this match really was a blast

Been excited for this to drop!
You owned that! OMG how inspirational! Woot woot woot.
I came to your channel after Karl introduced you last year? and stayed for the content, happy to see the return .
I don't know how I'm just seeing this?! In range and TCG in one video?! Totally dope!
Great job on the star, and the KettleBell Stage looked exhausting! Great job, keep these types of videos coming!
I love the Karl Bad Man barricade.
You're doing a hell of a lot better than I would if I had gone.
Great job. Tough drills for sure.
This was absolutely awesome. I hope to me see more competitive shooting on the channel.
amazing video, that looked so tough! Well done, Tacticool Girlfriend
Great job TGF!! This inspires me too!
Wake up choom, new TGF upload!
Awesome of you to show us full stages instead of just showing the highlights. Good on you for shooting this match and bringing us with you. Also that hat 😂😂
Well done! Much respect!
Man that’s brutal! Great job on your first DB
That whole thing seems so cool!!!!
Guns bringing people together
Awesome! Totally inspired to make brutality next year.
I’m really looking forward to shooting my first spinner target. Great video as always!
what is the blue box that he holds next to you?
That's the shot timer.
Great run! Did you get a chance to film some content with Karl while you were down there?
Just this!
@@TacticoolGirlfriend that's totally OK. Hope you had a great time! :)
This is super cool!!
Great!, i hated to move with all the gear, crawl, jump, sprint, go prone and all that stuff, but i loved it at the end; hope it was your case. Wanted to see how you did on a DB match and imo you did it well and with a possitive attitude, that's great.
great video
I am still angry that I didn't get to go to this year's DB
I have missed 2 at this point and I am not happy about that.
It is such a great event
Greetings from InRange channel.
Very nicely done!
I don't know why, but seeing you recorded as Girlfriend, Tacticool in the score sheet was really funny

Timer goes beep, brain goes boop. Happens at least once every match for me 😂
Great jog at you frist brutality match! Always nice to see some of my favorite guntubers crossing over.
This looks so much fun. Good job 👍🏽
The spinners can be hell for sure, my friend and I welded up our own so that just made them even more of a pain.
Awesome colab!
Awesome!!
I definitely want to get myself to a brutality match one of these days. Looks like a good deal of fun and haven't gotten to shoot stuff like that since I still wore cammies haha.
Girlfriend, Tacticool!
Well done! That looked super hard and like a ton of fun.
Love seeing these kind of things
This was awesome. Are you doing to do the midnight match in March?
I was hoping to, but likely won't be able to make it this year unfortunately.
Great job! I hope to compete in one of these matches some day...
Came here from the link on Karl's site. To Tacticool Girlfriend, YOU GO GIRL! Added the site to my favorites. As has been said at other Brutality evens embrace the suck, and you did.
That was awesome... I just recently got into pistol optics .. it's a whole new training program..
Looked like a blast. I run IDPA events at my range, but it's nothing like this.
I had been hoping to see you do a Desert Brutality run through after you did the Q&A with Karl, really glad to see it happened! Great run!
Why is youtube not sending me the notifications of your uploads? If I hadn't seen this on InRange, I wouldn't have seen it at all. I've been subscribed for a while and I have notifications turned on, yet I STILL don't always get notified by YT when you are uploading.
And Good Match. I hope to see more in the future.
You slayed that star. Damn nice
Fantastic video love your content!
Very cool! You done good.
How did you prepare for this event?
i’m so stoked on the hat lol i want to put in my bio that TG picked my idea 😂
So wholesome ❤️
The brutality part is pretty accurate, but you did pretty damn good for a first time
Ah, full circle, because it was Karl who directed me to tacticool girlfriend.
NICE JOB!
First impressions: goddamn that makeup game on point!
This was... Your Brutality incarnate!
Good job 🤙🏽
That looks tough as hell. Timed is the most I've done.
Super interesting watching this one after watching Ian's. I think I would have definitely bonked my head on the barrels at least once reaching for the kettle bell on the "Only thing they fear is you" stage.
I loved Karl's description of the Sonoran Desert "It's alien". It's a desert...but not.
Hey TG never seen your channel before somehow, sometimes google isn't as good at seeing intersection as we'd like I guess. Great shooting, new sub just saying hi.
Nice! It seemed like you adapted well to an unfamiliar environment and became more confident and aggressive as the match progressed. Also, kudos to you for stepping out of your comfort zone and sharing this experience.
Even the camera person is exhausted
Is there a recommended minimum fitness level for the brutality matches?
Not really, just understand what goes into these drills and plan accordingly!
If you can do a Kasarda drill you're probably fine I think. Three minutes of swing/shoot/swing/shoot - if you don't die you're ok!
Excellent.
W
I would LOVE to see you do Finnish Brutality, it'd be awesome to see
Great shooting!! It’s weird to see you throwing lead without wearing respiratory protection. Are facial coverings prohibited there for some reason?
Nope, just opted to obstruct my breathing as little as I could for running these stages.
It looked exhausting but you did great! I guess that’s why it’s call DESERT BRUTALITY 😂
