Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key elements of Stage 8 in the Hard as Hell Two Gun competition?

Stage 8 combines rifle and pistol shooting with physical challenges. It includes crossing a wobbly bridge, engaging paper and hanging targets from low positions, navigating the 'Wall of Doom' obstacle, and a shoot house sequence involving a flashbang and multiple targets.

What challenges did competitors face with intermediate distance targets in Stage 8?

Engaging small hanging targets at around 25 yards proved difficult for some, especially with certain optic reticles. Incorrect aiming advice and the need to adjust for bullet drop or holdover at these distances led to time loss and potential misses.

What are the procedural requirements for the 'Wall of Doom' obstacle?

Competitors must cross the 'Wall of Doom' without touching the top. Failure to do so, or falling off, results in a penalty, typically requiring the competitor to run back to the beginning and restart the obstacle.

What tactical considerations are involved in using a flashbang in a shoot house?

When using a flashbang in a shoot house, the procedure involves loading your pistol, deploying the flashbang into the room, and then engaging the first target from outside the doorway before entering to clear the remaining targets.

What issues can arise when loading a Magpul D60 drum magazine?

Loading a Magpul D60 drum magazine on a closed bolt can be difficult due to high spring tension on the first round. It is generally recommended to load from an open bolt to ensure proper chambering of the first round.
