on longer distances. On this course tiredness was caused only for short runs to the firing lines because later you can run very slowly and still make it in time. Stage number 4 was a simple walk around the forest with a long gun, lucky ones whom that was the last course. What's important – C12 SPEC is crazy about safety, and we think it's good. EVERY movement with the gun within the range, between starting points or change of fire positions were done with unloaded weapon, no round in the chamber and no magazine attached (during the run on the course that was checked by range master) and if the change of firing po- sition was caused by the course design absolutely with we- apon safety engaged and keeping the safety angle. Looking at that standing aside – probability about occurrence of an accident was reduced almost to none, especially because competitors were complying with organizers guidelines. First stage was also a very good verification of your gear. Few people were so surprised that they lost magazines (a critical moment of that course was that tunnel made from tires) or other parts of their equipment. Common thing was eye protection fogging up. Stage #2 also made everybody tired but in a different way, forced by crawling. Up to that we had targets placed that way, so you had to look for them (i.e. one meter from the car you are firing from) and were hard to see (paper target with sand in the background). Here pre- mium skills that make you score better was good eye, sho- oting from enforced positions and good crawling. Number 3 was stressful due to the nature of shooting from an ATV while it's moving. Targets were inside of the dirt walls, so the shooter saw them for 2-3 seconds and the range master who was moving along from the beginning was watching to see if everything was safe the whole time. Stressful might be „long shot" especially for somebody who trains shooting with a rifle only for 50 meters and never checks bullet drop Definitely the hardest stage was number one, (for me last one due to my order of stages) which after getting to the ball already gave competitors a hard time, and that was just a beginning. Sadly, if somebodies' body is not used to phy- sical workout, he will not make it. One will begin, sure, but he will not make it in designated times, or he will "throw the towel" somewhere in the middle (it happened a couple of times during Furia 2). I must tell you that getting you tired is not simple and vulgar (like 50 pushups, 30 sit ups and 20 burpees) but nicely integrated into the course having some sense. I was not disappointed with the C12 SPEC Szkolenia team supported by local Territorial Defense soldiers and employ- ees of IBION shooting range. I knew what I was signing up for and I got more than I was asking for. Second edition of Furia was tougher and more demanding than the first one. Except for the GREEN TAC stage, all of them were set up to make participants tired and force one to shoot tired and with the body desperately looking to intake some oxygen additionally enlarging stress with a way of placing the tar- gets that you must constantly search and assess. On the HEART RATE we have another factor of target designation "rifle", "pistol" and "no shoot". sweat and shoot 2 REPORT
