Pawnee Run 'n Gun, July 19, 2014

CLICK HERE FOR INFO AND REGISTRATION!!!

This summer's Pawnee Run 'n Gun is officially open for registration! The Pawnee Run 'n Gun is a center fire biathlon -- it is a running course that has shooting stations for both rifle and pistol that must be completed along the way. It is designed to be a test of both shooter and equipment under field conditions. The idea is that you will have a better idea of how you would perform when the "chips are down" if you have to shoot while hot, sweaty, tired, and sore; and you will have a better idea of whether your gear is up to snuff for Second Amendment purposes after you put some miles on it over a variety of terrain. It is also a good opportunity to see what gear other shooters are using, and get ideas for your own setup. Ultimately it is all about making gun owners more effective defenders of life and liberty. Though it is called "Run 'n Gun," participants are welcome to walk the course, and many do. It is all about seeing how you perform at your current state of readiness.

75 spots are available -- registration is $65. This time around we are giving participants a choice of either a 5k or 10k course. They will both have the same shooting stations, with the exception of the bonus "rescue" stage that the 10k runners will be doing... a little extra physical challenge for all you cardio monsters! :wink: The stages are designed to test your skill in a variety of situations, from close and fast to the "Rifleman's Quarter Mile." All you need to participate is a center fire rifle, a center fire pistol with a holster that covers the trigger, enough ammo to finish the course, and a way to carry it all. Of course, this being Oklahoma in July, it is highly recommended to carry plenty of water as well. I hope to see a lot of Boomer Shooters there!

I was looking forward to this, but unfortunately will be sweating my balls off at FT Knox instead. :crying:

Crap, I need to stop double fisting honey buns down my cake hole and do this thing.

Might try the polar bear version this winter.

I'm with you, charger. I need to drop about 20 lbs and do that too. Sounds like a ton of fun.

Guys, remember: this is a run what you brung event. That includes you and your current fitness level. There will probably be guys walking A LOT of this course. I may be range walking some sections myself. You don't have time to get into Olympic condition if you're not damn close already but there is time to get at least Airborne Shuffle ready.

I hope we see a lot of you guys out there. It's a great time.

How many BSers are doing this thing? I'm ROing again this year if I survive the heat on Friday.

Last I heard there were a few slots left open.

I pulled a calf muscle pretty bad back in May, so I'm planning to walk most of it. Crap, how many people can jog 6 miles in the heat with rifle, pistol, and all the gear? Some certainly, but not everyone. If ya wanna do it walking, go for it!
