Carlos Company Run-and-Gun Fundraiser
The Carlos Company Run-and-Gun Fundraiser is a buddy-team (duo) shooting competition designed to test marksmanship, endurance, and small-unit coordination under stress.
Schedule
- Gates open: 0600
- Hammer down (Safety Brief): 0730
- First team step-off: 0800
Team Format
This is a two-man team event. Competitors will register individually and, upon approval, may select an available teammate or be assigned to an available team slot. All stages are built around two-man execution and cannot be completed effectively as an individual.
Registration Fee
- $100 per competitor ($200 per team)
Divisions
Teams will compete in one of two divisions. Both teammates must compete in the same division.
Infantry Division
- Plate carrier with hard armor plates
- Hard armor plates must weigh a minimum of 7 pounds each
- Rifle
- Pistol
- Day pack
Recce Division
- Chest rig or plate carrier
- Armor plates optional
- Rifle
- Pistol
- Day pack
Equipment will be inspected during check-in. Teams that do not meet the Infantry Division armor requirements will be reclassified into the Recce Division.
Course Description
Teams will maneuver through a 7-kilometer course consisting of multiple tactical shooting stages. Each stage will require the use of rifle and/or pistol, with engagements ranging from close quarters out to 250 yards. Stages are specifically designed to emphasize teamwork, communication, and coordinated execution between teammates.
Competitors should plan for approximately:
- 150 rounds of rifle ammunition
- 100 rounds of pistol ammunition
In addition to the competition, the event will feature a competitor staging area with seating, a vendor village, a food truck, raffle drawings, and team prizes. Family members and spectators are welcome to enjoy the event throughout the day while competitors are on the course.
Physical Demands
This is not a flat-range event. Competitors should expect to run, carry, drag, and lift heavy objects throughout the course while managing their weapons, ammunition, and equipment. Physical stress, movement, and time pressure are integral to stage design.
Teamwork
Team stages require active coordination between shooters. Tasks may include one competitor enabling the other to engage targets, alternating responsibilities, or completing physical requirements to unlock firing positions. Teams must operate as a cohesive unit—failure to communicate and coordinate will directly impact performance.
Safety
Safety is paramount. All competitors will adhere to strict weapons handling procedures under the supervision of certified Range Officers. Failure to maintain safe weapons handling will result in immediate disqualification.
Camping
An on-site camping area will be available for competitors who wish to arrive the day before the event. Competitors planning to camp overnight must coordinate in advance by contacting Samuel Bravo at [email protected].
Withdrawal Policy
The Carlos Company Run-and-Gun Fundraiser is a charitable fundraising event. As such, all registration fees are non-refundable.
Competitors who are unable to attend may withdraw from the event at any time; however, registration fees will not be refunded. Withdrawal of one team member does not automatically withdraw the other. If one team member withdraws, the remaining team member will be removed from their assigned squad, and that squad slot may be made available for reassignment.
If the event is canceled by the organizers due to circumstances beyond their control, further guidance regarding registration fees will be communicated to all registered competitors.
