everyone says they like to shoot. everyone. but crawling to the firing line with a sky-high heart rate? that’s a different thing. that’s the whole point of what we do.
the short version
a DEFCON event is a monthly match where you move, solve a problem, and shoot under physical stress. you’ll run, carry, drag, climb, then steady your hands enough to make the hits. it’s hard. it’s supposed to be. and you can absolutely do it on your first try.
who shows up
- crossfitters and gym people who’ve never touched a firearm
- firefighters and former military who bring their crew
- competitive shooters who want to find out if their cardio writes checks their trigger finger can’t cash
first-timers are not an afterthought here. they’re the reason we exist. nobody gets dunked on for finishing last. finishing is the flex.
what to bring
you don’t need operator gear. you need shoes you can run in, water, and a willingness to gas out in front of strangers who will cheer for you anyway.
next match dates and signups live on the schedule page. everyone welcome, that’s not a slogan, it’s the model.
