Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key features of the Mini MOA targets used in Desert Brutality 2019?

The Mini MOA targets are made of AR500 steel, rated for pistol and .223 at 100 yards. They utilize a self-resetting lever system where hitting the center lever raises the head, and hitting the head resets the target, eliminating manual resets.

What is the 'Mosam beak drill' and how does it relate to the Mini MOA targets?

The Mosam beak drill involves two shots to the chest and one to the head to stop a threat. The Mini MOA target simulates this by requiring engagement of the 'chest' (center lever) to expose the 'head,' which must then be shot to reset.

What were the main challenges faced by competitors on Stage 2 of Desert Brutality 2019?

Competitors faced challenges including navigating barricades, precise shooting on the difficult Mini MOA targets where misses are hard to identify, managing ammunition for a high round count, and adhering to specific rules like one shot per port on the Texas Star.

How did the High Power pistol's magazine safety affect the competition stage?

The High Power's magazine safety requires an empty magazine to show hammer down for clearing. This meant competitors had to ensure they had an empty magazine ready at the end of the stage, impacting their magazine management strategy.
