Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary focus of Stage 5 in the Hard as Hell 2 Gun competition?

Stage 5, also known as Stage 1 of Day 2, is designed with a long-range emphasis. It requires competitors to engage paper targets, pistol plates at moderate distances, and then transition to a rifle to shoot at flash spinners on V-TAC barricades at distances up to 300 yards.

What are the key challenges presented by the V-TAC barricades in this stage?

The V-TAC barricades feature flash spinners that are 8 to 12 inches in size and located at 250, 275, and 300 yards. Competitors must engage these targets from two distinct positions on each barricade, demanding accuracy and adaptability in shooting stances.

What advice is given regarding calling shots during a competition?

The video emphasizes that using clock positions (e.g., 2 o'clock, 6 o'clock) to call shots is far more effective for a shooter than general directions like 'right' or 'left.' This precise feedback helps the shooter make accurate aiming corrections.

What potential equipment issue was identified during the stage?

The shooter experienced potential reliability issues with steel-cased ammunition in their Glock pistol, particularly with a 33-round magazine in dusty conditions. This combination can lead to increased friction and dirt buildup, affecting feeding.
