Come on along for another Nutnfancy “Armed Serenity” shootout with the crew, now an annual event! It took me weeks of planning and logistical prep but it was worth it. Engagements were diverse and entertaining but all were timed, scored, and RAN so as to add stress and elevate heart rate. None were easy. Tactical Instructor “SadlyMissing” provided excellent shooting tips before the fun kicked off. Drills consisted of urban combat window engagements from “The Scrambler” building simulator, a running 100 to 7 yard tactical carbine course of fire (with oblique bad guys) which transitioned to a 6 rd failure drill with pistol, an uphill, running 200 yard steel plate engagement, and night time operations with .22 AR-15s on 25 to 75 yard steel plates. Players included Nutnfancy and long time TNP Crew members and friends BuggetNuster, SadlyMissing, ArmedSerenity, ScooterMcCoy, and VociferousWad. Also for coming along for the adventure this time: AKFokker, GTFDude, USAFIntell, Narcisist83, JMo, DrHeckles, and Yebache.
