RELACJA SZKOLENIE During TWC 2016, there were seven tracks to check shooting skills of the participants in various tactical situations. Shooting was conducted during the day and at night, while tasks were performed individually or as a team. According to the rules, each new edition has new features that were not present during previous editions. In this year, those were night shooting and shooting in two-man teams. Specially for the purpose of the competition, there were two „killing houses" build for CQB drills. Day tracks had resonant names El Chapo and Chemical Ali, while the one played at night – Night Raid. Quite a surprise for the participants was the fact that on one of the tracks, Chemical Ali, they were to carry a heavy ballistic shield used. Of course, there also had to be shooting elements from the scope of green side operations. Participants liked Escape From Belize River Bed, a quite quick and aggressive track placed in the natural bank of a river. Another interesting track was Sniper Cover con- ducted at night, where the shooter had to take position on a tower as quickly as possible and then shoot metal targets, as quickly as possible, in the strobe lighting. A great surprise for the participants was the track Wolf with the use of a Mercedes G-class vehicle. During that stage, the participant was the trunk monkey shooter in the last vehicle of the convoy. Shooting was performed on the move. During TWC 2016, organizers also complied with the key rule of Tactical Warrior Challenge 2 Gun, so the rule that there is no information about tracks, their number, or the type of targets. Participants had only basic information concerning targets and identification features were provided for the targets they were to eliminate. The participants were informed about the task when he or she entered a particu- lar track. The competition simulates real life scenarios. So, as in real life, there is no possibility of knowing the position of targets, the distance to the targets, angle of fire, etc. The participants that joins the competition has the full equipment and weapons (pistol and rifle), ammunition, vest with a front and a back ballistic plate, a helmet, and additional accessories providing him or her with full independence for the whole competition. The participant must carry all possible food/water on hand for the whole time. REPORT
