Map

There will be 4 different stages as denoted on the map above. Shooting may occur outside of an area enclosed by a berm, all rounds still need to hit the berm.

Stage Info and Training

We won’t be posting any stages online so it’s a complete surprise! It will be physically demanding so be ready.

The estimated round count depends on the caliber, however we want to stay around 200 - 300 rounds. Bring extra ammo just in case!

We don’t advise you to specifically train for just this event, you want to be capable everyday not just event day. With that being said, make sure you are physically capable.

Gear

Make sure your gear is properly and safely configured. Your holster should have proper retention for performing physical activity. If your firearm becomes unholstered during physical activity as a result of improper retention you may be asked to change holsters.

Try and test your gear beforehand. You must maintain the same gear load throughout the event unless it breaks, so make sure it’s comfortable and works for you, because you can’t change it!

Squads

In order to make sure we can get everyone through each stage in a timely fashion, we will be assigning squads during registration. Each squad will start on a different stage to prevent overlap.

Changes and Cancelations

For our first event we want to ensure that we get a full group to properly test. So, please alert us if you can’t attend so we can assign the spot to the next person. If you cancel at least 7 days before the event date, you will receive a full refund.

FAQ

I’ve never shot a competition before, can I compete?

Yes! No matter if it’s your first competition or your 100th you can compete at Tennessee Brutality.

I’m a BRAND NEW shooter or I haven’t shot a gun before, can I compete?

No, while you don’t need a competitive shooting background you do need to be familiar with your firearm and gear. Since this event will involve a dynamic shooting experience with elevated physical exercise, we require you to be at least an intermediate shooter.

Are there any stipulations on firearms we can bring?

Not explicitly. As long as the firearms are in safe working order you can bring whatever you want. You do need to bring a rifle and a pistol however. The caliber of your firearm will dictate how many hits you need to neutralize targets.

Are spectators allowed?

Yes! Spectators must wear hearing and eye protection but they are more than welcome to attend without the need to register.
