Sure looked like fun for those runnin n’ gunnin, I was standin and watchin myself. From my limited viewpoint everybody looked safe, that was appreciated. Did not notice any major gear malfunctions but then I only saw people early in the match. Did notice some interesting things on the rifle barricade stage. Lots of guys stuck their rifle way through for support and then fought to get it back out of the various shaped/sized holes. Not a very tactically impressive maneuver. Also thin barrels, and particularly suppressors rested on the barricade sent rounds elsewhere besides on the plate.

Apparently some scopes/dots were not allowing folks to demonstrate their best shooting ability. In other words, make sure your stuff is squared away (sighted in) before the balloon goes up. And of course much hilarity ensued from weapon mounted lights interfering with the barricade. Best course of action there I believe was to just push the light against the barricade with the barrel not touching and shoot. Seemed pretty counter-productive to try and cork-screw the barrel/light/half the hand guard all the way through the hole (for ONE shot), and then try and get it all back out. Saw excellent shooting with small RMR type dots and even iron sights, at least on the 50 yard plates, so it was very doable without a scope (on this stage). Even saw some fine shooting with an AK, take that ARs. Good times, good times, looking forward to standin and watchin next time. Let’s all be sure and thank John and Talon and support this kind of thing.
