Inaugural SoCal Tactical Games Skirmish Feb 22 2026. 4th overall and Men’s Intermediate win

Over the years I’ve had a few Tactical Games competitors come to various classes due to the events introducing longer rifle engagement distances and barricades, and when the opportunity to experience what it was like became local, I couldn’t say no. A couple month stretch of a mediocre workout and diet routine got me to a point where I felt that my strategy of surviving the physical portions well enough to get me back to my guns was a reality and interestingly that’s exactly how it played out. Tactical Games brought out an interesting mix of people and a mostly completely new group to me, and it was almost immediately clear that my training priorities were 180-degrees from most others, my focus being on the range instead of in the gym. “Long range” in this particular event was defined as 200yds, and a background in USPSA/multigun and PRS carried me through the day.
