Tactical Trainup - Improve your performance in tactical competitions
A new tactical competition and training event at the Sawmill
Tactical Trainup is a follow-on competition to the FTX. Tactical Trainup helps athletes improve tactical competition shooting skills and work component (athletic) skills.
Tactical Trainup is both competition and training. Tactical Trainup is four stages and two classifiers. Each stage has three components: stage walkthrough and training, stage competition, and after-action review with lessons learned. The classifiers are a test of skill, strength, and speed.
Tactical Trainup will be scored on Practiscore. There are seven divisions in Tactical Trainup: Women’s Prime, Women, Men’s Prime, Men, Women’s Masters (50+), Men’s Masters (50+), and Training.
Training division athletes can receive assistance and coaching during the competition, may have relaxed requirements for tasks, weight, and time, and no winner is awarded in the training division. Training Division athletes may, in coordination with the stage RSO, scale or modify stage requirements to match their level of training. Training division is a good place to start your tactical competition journey.
Stages
Tactical Trainup has the following stages:
Shooty McShootface – assesses and improves the technical aspects of rifle and pistol shooting under the stress of competition at short and long ranges.
I Can Do That – managing heavy sandbags, barriers, yokes, ropes, and other apparatus in tactical competitive stages.
Stress Management – assesses the effect of competitive stress on shooting. The fitness stage has an unstressed shooting component followed by stressed shooting components.
16 Tons – lifting, carrying, and throwing sandbags and other heavy irregular objects and shooting.
Tactical Trainup Event Format
Tactical Trainup runs all four stages concurrently in round-robin format. The schedule is two stages in the morning, then a break for lunch. Each stage is two hours long to allow for training, competition, and after action debriefs. There are two stages in the afternoon. Classifiers are available during the lunch break. Athletes will be grouped into squads to facilitate the round-robin format.
