Like Firearms? Like Fitness? Want to win a $5,800 Titan? |

Heads up! Fitness and Firearms are finally coming together in an exciting new way online! But first, let’s give you a little backstory to catch you up to speed then tell you how you can win the gun that left Ben Stoeger speechless — the Atlas Gunworks Titan. Traditionally, shooting sports focused solely on … well shooting. From USPSA and IDPA to sporting clays and skeet to PRS and NRL Hunter, the competitors are graded on their shooting ability. Back in 2018 a new 2A sport emerged. Their take was to combine marksmanship skills with functional fitness. The sport was named the Tactical Games and over the past 6 years it has become the fastest growing 2A sport in the country. |
So what does combining functional fitness and marksmanship mean? Picture a biathlon, take out the skiing and replace it with good old fashion grunt work. Carry this bag here, drag this sled there, then while you are physically fatigued and struggling to catch your breath, compose yourself to make accurate shots on target. Your score is a combination of how quickly you completed the stage plus how accurate you were. If you’re a fitness enthusiast who likes firearms this sport will bring you back to after school practice and plinking bottles in the junkyard. It’s fun…. Really fun … and it’s easy to see why it has grown so quickly This fun doesn’t come without barriers of entry though. Competitions are typically not conveniently located. Competitors often have travel by plane, stay in hotels, be away from their families and work for several days. That said … it’s totally worth it. However, now there is another way! Fitness and Firearms Online has brought Tactical Games style competitions to the competitor. It uses a format well known in the CrossFit community. Competitors register through FitnessandFirearmsOnline.com. Workouts are released online and competitors are given a window of time to complete, record and submit their scores. These scores and videos are uploaded to an interactive leaderboard where competitors can see their placing and watch other performances. All without excessive time and money that comes with traveling to live competitions. |
And did I mention they have some pretty impressive giveaways? Any competitor that competes and submits all their scores is eligible for FAFO’s grand prize drawing following the competition. This one coming up is for a $5,800 Atlas Gunworks Titan. Competition starts April 17th! So don’t wait - go to fitnessandfirearmsonline.com and challenge yourself!
P.S. and as a bonus - make sure to sign up NOW for their newsletter and be entered into Super Vel’s 1k ammo giveaway. |
