From Commentator to Competitor | Lynx Brutality 2025

Описание: For the past two years, I’ve had the opportunity to commentate on the Lynx Brutality live streams — but until now, I had never actually shot a Brutality match myself. Before the main match even began, I was handed a rifle, pistol, and belt rig and invited to take part in the pre-match. With no preparation and very little recovery time after competing at the PCC & Mini Rifle World Championship, I quickly realised how unprepared I was.

In this video, I share my full experience shooting Lynx Brutality 2025 in Slovenia — my first ever Brutality match. From kettlebells and tripwires to car gunfights, zip lines, and retention reloads, this match tested far more than shooting ability. It pushed physical endurance, decision-making under stress, and the ability to keep going when everything starts to fall apart.

💡 If you’re curious about what Brutality matches actually are, how they differ from IPSC, and why they’re often described as “CrossFit with guns”, I break down the match structure, scoring system, divisions, and what it’s really like to shoot one for the first time.

🔫 About Lynx Brutality

Lynx Brutality is a tactical two-gun shooting match held at the Lynx Tactical Shooting Center in Slovenia. Inspired by Finnish Brutality and SRA competitions, the match focuses on realistic scenarios, physical exertion, and problem-solving under pressure rather than pure competition. It’s less about winning — and more about testing yourself and your gear.
