This year (2025), spots were once again snapped up not in a matter of minutes, but in seconds. This time, I was fortunate enough to avoid that mental stress, as I had received an invitation to pre-register, which I naturally accepted with gratitude.\u00a0<\/p><p>This year, the competition took place from October 10\u201312, once again at the Gryphon Group\u2019s training grounds [2]. On October 9, participants could register on-site and check out the various shooting exercises (known as \u201cstages\u201d).\u00a0<\/p><p>Each stage is dedicated to one of ten selected fallen or deceased comrades. This selection is made every year according to an established procedure. The stages all have a poster which honors the respective comrade. Before the completion of each stage, the life and work of the comrade is commemorated and a minute of silence is observed. Each participant signs the stage poster. In this way, the commemoration is also personalized and each participant is reminded of what the competition is for.\u00a0<\/p><p>This is followed by the stage briefing (introduction to the exercise) and the exercise is completed by the participants one after the other according to the principle of hits per time. The participants are organized in so-called squads and thus go through the competition together. This procedure is similar to IPSC shooting.\u00a0<\/p><p>The stages are extremely challenging. They usually require the use of the pistol, rifle and shotgun. However, each participant can decide for himself how to complete the stage. There are guidelines as to which weapons may be used and which targets may be shot at. There is a time limit on all stages, which can be generous or extremely tight, depending on the abilities and preferences of the participants.\u00a0<\/p><p>The highlights of this year\u2019s stages once again included shooting from a former commercial aircraft, from a towed trailer, at several moving targets at long range, a number of additional targets at greater distances, the ever-popular spinners (for rifles, pistols, and shotguns), shooting from extremely unstable positions, and\u2014once again a particular challenge for me\u2014the shotgun-only stage.\u00a0<\/p><p>This year, the weather conditions added an extra challenge. It was my first time experiencing North Carolina in October with heavy rain and wind. I vividly remember a plate rack within rifle range that I could practically only shoot at by ear, since the rain was coming down in torrents right from the front and I couldn\u2019t see a thing.\u00a0<\/p><p>My squad this year was once again a diverse group. The participants ranged from first-time 3-Gun competitors to professional shooters. As always, everyone in the squad supported one another wholeheartedly and shared their experiences.<\/p><p>I myself found myself somewhat better at the complex shooting exercises than at last year's participation. I was able to make my own stage plans and implement them. Of course, not all stage plans worked. Nevertheless, I am very satisfied with the way things went for me. I was able to take away many new elements for myself, as well as for training and practice.\u00a0<\/p><p>To all RO\u2019s \u2013 You\u2019ve done an outstanding job, always friendly, helpful, and extremely professional, no matter what the situation! Every year, I\u2019m more and more impressed by your work!\u00a0<\/p><p>The most important lesson I learned during my time in North Carolina, however, was once again the sense of belonging to a large family that stands for certain values, upholds them, and, when necessary, defends them resolutely. Everyone supports one another unconditionally. The many volunteers\u2014all members of special forces, former special forces personnel, members of law enforcement agencies, and even sport shooters\u2014demonstrated this once again in a most impressive way.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-1e313c88 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"1e313c88\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-31dfc750\" data-id=\"31dfc750\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-72d2ad04 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"72d2ad04\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Side Stages<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7ea321ca elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7ea321ca\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In addition to the official stages, which are the competition, there are so-called side stages.

Every person who competes walks away with a sense of who each of these men were. All proceeds for our events go directly to the families of the fallen soldiers we are honoring at the event.
