About this episode

Matt and Dan from The Proving Grounds discuss various 2-gun competitions and their unique formats.

On this episode of TFB's Behind the Gun Podcast, Matt and Dan from The Proving Grounds return for an in-depth discussion. The Proving Grounds hosts a lineup of 2-gun competitions blending 70% marksmanship—rifle targets from 1 to 700 yards, rapid carbine transitions, and pistol stages—with 30% fitness elements like rugged obstacles, heavy plate carrier carries, and ruck marches constrained by 90-120 second par times. The diverse formats include Tactical Sniper series events, "Moons Out, Goons Out" nocturnal matches, Ruck divisions, regional showdowns, and specialty courses testing gear reliability under stress.
