Frequently Asked Questions

What is the purpose of the ice water challenge in this firearm competition?

The ice water challenge simulates the physical effects of high-stress situations, specifically vasoconstriction, which reduces manual dexterity and makes it harder to manipulate a firearm and its controls, testing the shooters' ability to perform under duress.

What firearms were used in the dueling tree competition?

The competition featured a Mossberg MC2 SC with a Crimson Trace sight, a Glock 19, and the notoriously unreliable Jennings Bryco 59. The specific firearm for each shooter was determined by spinning a wheel.

How is the winner of the dueling tree competition determined?

The primary goal is to move all targets to the opponent's side. If ammunition runs out, the shooter with the fewest targets on their side is declared the winner. The competition was best two out of three rounds.

What is the 'double or nothing' challenge and how does it work?

In the 'double or nothing' challenge, the winner of the main competition must shoot three moving targets at unknown distances. For every second it takes to hit all targets, $100 is deducted from the prize money.
