For my Passive Division run during the staff match portion of Moons Out Goons Out 2024, I used a borrowed prototype Boombox from Q, with an AGM Clarion thermal scope. The Boombox is essentially a Honey Badger scaled up to AR10 size, chambered for 8.6mm Blackout. With a 12" barrel and Porq Chop su...

For my Active Division run during the staff match portion of Moons Out Goons Out 2024, I set up a 9mm Hi-Point carbine with a BE Meyers MAWL last unit. Great laser; terrible gun. My hypothesis was that the gun itself didn't really matter so long as it was reliable and accurate enough to hit a sil...

Last weekend we ran Moons Out Goons Out 2024, a night rifle match presented by Tactical Night Vision Company at the Echo Valley Training Center. The match was a fantastic success, and I figured I'd give you some overview takeaways to the whole event before posting my complete stages runs later t...

Remote Brutality as popularised by In Range TV shot with the Martini Henry

As usual, Mike, Les and Jari shot the SRA Etelä-Häme Hätila 2023 match. Mike and Jari were going for a kinda Finnish Wolverines (aka Red Dawn) type setup with 7.62x39 AK's and Varusteleka M91 ChiCom chest rigs, whereas Les went with a Steyr AUG in .223 Remington / 5.56. 7 awesome stages with The ...

Allyness saves lives!

Bloke takes his 7.62 NATO BSA L1A1 SLR and Browning Hi-Power Mk.1 to @varusteleka 's Finnish Brutality 2023, LARPing in Breacher category in full late-70's-early-80's British Army style, even down to the dodgy facial hair. How did this out of shape office monkey get on wi...

I took a few minutes at Finnish Brutality 2023 to chat with Derek, a former Range and SF medic who overcame some quite daunting personal challenges to come shoot the match despite stage 4 cancer. It was great to hang out with him at the match, and to take inspiration from his story!

It's time for Finnish Brutality 2023! This year the match is back and better than ever, with a new "Breacher" division for those seeking extra punishment. In addition to wearing armor and kit (minimum 12kg/26lb), Breacher includes a 3-10 minute physical challenge after each stage just to spice th...

Gone is the French cosplay after entering the gatrix, it's time to get down to business with modern kit, gear and guns. The tactical gear is all Varusteleka and the general clothing is Decathlon for everyday trail running and hiking. I'm competing on a budget but hopefully I'll end up a little hi...

A weird and extremely badly-acted thing happened to Bloke on his return from Finnish Brutality 2019..... It involved an offering of makkarasnapsit schnapps sausage from a strange hooded Ambassador of Metal type fellow... How could Bloke refuse?

This video is Mike's complete run and talk-through of Stage 1 of Finnish Brutality 2019: 3rd person and headcam footage! A kettlebell and an L1A1 SLR / FN FAL on a Kasarda Drill - what could be more epic?!?

This video is Mike's complete run and talk-through of Stage 2 of Finnish Brutality 2019: 3rd person and headcam footage! A BMP armoured personnel carrier?!? On a stage? How awesome was that!

This video is Mike's complete run and talk-through of Stage 3 of Finnish Brutality 2019: 3rd person and headcam footage! Climbing through cars, shooting standing unsupported, then a V-TAC wall to top it off. An awesome stage!

This video is Mike's complete run and talk-through of Stage 4 of Finnish Brutality 2019: 3rd person and headcam footage! Starting in his comfort zone with a bit of fast and accurate middle-finger shooting, and ending with hefting bags of sand around and blazing away at steel poppers!

This video is Mike's complete run and talk-through of Stage 5 of Finnish Brutality 2019: 3rd person and headcam footage! The ultimate stage prop - a BMP - made another appearance, from which some poppers were shot. Then a dummy drag, some rifle work, and some running back and forth with ammo cans...

This video is Mike's complete run and talk-through of Stage 6 of Finnish Brutality 2019: 3rd person and headcam footage! The stage is called "movement", but it should really have been called "pain"!

Here's the start of the BotR Desert Brutality 2020 content on Bloke on the Range! A bit of an introduction, and then a talkthrough of Mike's Stage 1, with what went wrong and why.

At the end, there's a cameo from Iain Harrison (editor of RECOIL and winner of Season 1 of The History Channel's T...

Lots of discussion of marksmanship principles and technique (natural alignment, calling shots etc.) in this talkthrough of Bloke's Desert Brutality 2020 stages 2 (Kasarda Drill +P) and 3 (Riot Control)!

Bloke is shooting Karl Kasarda of InRange TV's Colt SP1, and a Browning Hi-Power in Retro d...

BotR Desert Brutality 2020 Day 2: stages 4-6. The usual geeky over-analysis and technique discussion

Mike is modelling a .223 Remington Colt SP1, a 9x19mm Browning High Power in a Canadian P51 holster, a vaguely Borneo campaign jungle getup (plus sweater and scarf), and a basic 44 pattern webb...

At Desert Brutality 2020, Bloke got to interview Pascal, who, alongside his day job is also a 1st Lieutenant in the Swiss Army. They talk about the match, and also the comparison with the kind of shooting that Pascal is used to in the Army. At the end Pascal's full runs are included!

Apparently training videos for Finnish Brutality 2021 The Winter War are a thing. So Bloke and Chap decided to do their own take on it! Allergy information: contains gluten and large doses of nuts!!!

Different means, less grrrrr, more biscuits, same goal!

In this earlier video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SyWL-BtBl6g I shot Frankenrifle (an Australian International Arms Lee-Enfield No.4 type rifle in 7.62x39 with AK magazines), someone suggested I shoot it off my elbows. So a week before Lynx Brutality 2023 I did.

And I'm very glad I did, c...
