Iowa Regional Event By The Tactical Games Kicks Off In July

The Tactical Games (TTG) is pleased to announce that the IA Regional Event at Brownells 2023 is set to take place at The Brownells Big Springs Shooting Complex on July 15 - July 16 (Searboro, IA). All interested parties are encouraged to look up competition rules and requirements as the date approaches. Registrations are still open as well and can be completed through the organization’s website.

The Tactical Games are open to anyone who is enthusiastic about firearms or strategy and considers themselves a competitor in these fields. It serves as a platform through which people of virtually any background can test their mettle against their peers, be they competition shooters, military or even civilians who have honed their skills on their own. Shooters and athletes are welcome if they wish to pit themselves against others at the top of their game.

Event organizers note that the Games are designed to be stressful and push competitors to their limits, so all who apply should be ready to bring their best form when they arrive. Fortunately, there are a number of resources available for those who wish to learn more about The Tactical Games or brush up their skills prior to the match. The same is true for event rules, and each competitor is expected to be fully up-to-date before they take to the field. A comprehensive list can be found on The Tactical Games’ official website.

Competitors who want the highest chance of doing their best during the match will be pleased to learn that TTG has built two distinct services to accommodate this need: in-person training and online training. While the former is strongly recommended for serious athletes, those who could not make it for in-person training for any reason are still encouraged to check out the online counterpart for tips and lessons on training regimens they can implement at home.

They are also invited to attend training programs after the Iowa Regional Event at Brownells 2023 has concluded. New matches are already in the works, and a missed opportunity today can be a chance to train more before making a splash at a future event.

Fans of The Tactical Games may already be familiar with The Tactical Games University (TGU), the TTG Athlete Camp and TTG Training Day. Perhaps the most prominent of these, TGU is a two-day training course that will help participants increase their proficiency operating weapon systems across TTG. Notably, this training welcomes those who are already adept (and wish to push their limits) as well as those who need to establish a foundation to work on. All skill levels are welcome here, and there is an emphasis on safety as well as capability.

The Tactical Games University targets marksmanship and efficient weapon system manipulation to develop an athlete's overall aptitude. From here, an athlete will be trained to use these skills on the field, identifying and utilizing shooting positions as required. TGU is also designed to simulate the overwhelming stress they will endure during The Tactical Games, and this has the advantage of producing athletes who can remain calm and professional under pressure at all times.

TTG Athlete Camp and TTG Training Day have a similar focus on pushing athletes to their limits. The former is a three day event that aims to improve both fitness and shooting skill, and participants are categorized into groups of peers at similar skill levels to ensure everyone gets an opportunity to elevate themselves without being overshadowed or held back.

On the other hand, Training Day gives athletes an opportunity to improve in specific aspects of TTG. Each day includes a morning brief, a shooting warm up, 3 shooting drills and a mock stage (which can be reset and re-run).

Dates and locations for training events, a full breakdown of The Tactical Games’ rules and more can be found on the organization’s official website. Online coaching is also available through the TTG app. Those interested in the event are invited to register now online.
