    I've been running my equipment through the mud [literally] and learning what works well in rough conditions and for longer brisk movements. The gear that's available now is lightyears beyond what was available to me in the military in usability and in comfort.

    I've currently refined my comp setup and general grab-and-go rig to:
    HST Micro chest rig,
    Alonzo Def web belt,
    mid rid T-rex holster,
    Esstac dbl pistol mag pouch,
    Esstac single AR mag pouch,
    AR with P4Xi 1-4 and Blue Force padded sling,
    and a Glock.

    What have you refined you Run-N-Gun kit too based on what you've learned?

    Anybody run one of those "biathlon slings" on your rifles? If so, what is your general opinion of them, particularly with regards to running comfort?

    Cheers!

    I have no R-n-G kit, but use it to validate what I already have for field work. Lessons learned when the going gets especially bad, and for long movements under full load with gun (I do long walks with PC and ruck, but the neighbors wouldn't like my rifle also), but I am not gonna build a specific rig for that event myself.

    Really good events though. Super interesting to test yourself, especially with so many restrictions on movement in other action shooting. IDPA doesn't let you move more than 10 yards on a stage! And, the ones I have been to are very nicely arranged so they support race/competition folks next to field gear/camo/pack folks. It's good stuff. Wish there was one closer and I'd go every month.

    I have never run one of these with a biathalon sling, but have friends who have had them for other events, have poked at them (worn around for a little bit to try). My favorite by far are the pack based ones. Not sure the model etc. but there's a way to get the sling to snap into the old Swiss style steel external frame (like their version of the ALICE Med) then it's rock solid, and you can run, climb, etc. and it won't move. Yes, you can do this with the pack on, but it would take some practice; I couldn't do it when trying it on in someone's house.

    For any of these, avoid falling on your back though! And... the obstacles and mud and so on might make that a risk so I am not sure I don't like the gun just in my hands after all, so I can get it out of the way.

    If allowed to by range safety, it might be interesting just to try an Erblestock gun scabbard type thing, then the gun is protected, padded, and a modern (ish) pack design. My SBR fits entirely inside that, especially folded, so would be very out of the way for such a thing, IF allowed.

    Gonna give this one good bump before burying it.
    I'm surprised more people around here don't participate in any run'n'gun comps.
     
    I’ve done these on a pretty regular basis for the last few years and they are a lot of fun. Gives me another reason to train throughout the year and refine what works and what doesn’t in a more dynamic environment. I’m sure IDPA is fun but it’s very different running a 10k in full kit with obstacles and shooting along the way. The heat index was 114 in our last race, it was tough.

    Here’s my typical setup:
    -hsgi slim belt with double decker tacos, utility pouch and a dump pouch
    -safariland ALS with Glock 17
    -hydration bladder
    -AR that I built to be lightweight and accurate with a razor 1-6
    -vtac sling (I haven’t tried the biathlon)

    If I’m doing a run that requires more ammo I’ll add in a chest rig that clips into my hydration harness. I’d also recommend carrying an ifak and a multi tool.

    Clothing is dependent on the weather but I use the same trail running shoes for summer and winter.

    Not really the same as run-n-gun, but I do winter biathlon with a biathlon sling. Mine's old AF, and stll mostly comfortable.

    I'd just question how it would do with a plate carrier- part of why it's comfortable is the grippy surface on the upper yoke that keeps the rifle from sliding left and right on your back and chafing. If there's nothing to keep the carrier from sliding, it could get irritating pretty quick.
    One thing I found out the hard way, the really good comfortable ones are designed for Anschutz rail mounts. You should be able to use the same t-nuts on a Keymod handguard, but probably need an adapter for anything else.

    ...If there's nothing to keep the carrier from sliding, it could get irritating pretty quick...
    Do you mean if the PC slides? If so, that's user error. It should be tight enough around the body that it doesn't move. Conventional wisdom is tight enough that the shoulders don't bear all the load, for example. I know it's not just me because a new thing I am trying out to help with airflow barely has any way to attach to the armor; it's held in place when being worn by the pressure between armor and body.

    If I misread, do tell. Interested.

    ...You should be able to use the same t-nuts on a Keymod handguard, but probably need an adapter for anything else...
    A lot of folks forget this, but hardware is hardware. I have several things attached to my railed handguards that are very much not for that system. It helps I have the generic slots on an Alpha rail on most of my guns, but on most any rail, you can figure out a way to just put screws and nuts through holes and almost any (not zero-sensitive) item will hold just fine. Opens up options for stuff like this very nicely.

    Again, I'm skiing, not running, so YMMV. It depends on the PC, but I do it to maximize the cardio exercise aspect, not "full battle rattle" movement to contact. A looser fit that permitted full expansion of my chest is a must have.
    Considering the sum total of my experience of exercising with body armor was only with an IOTV- if it's missing the kevlar it did shift quite a bit. With kevlar, no real movement and no chafing, but always felt like my breathing was restricted. Kevlar and ESAPI? Forget it..
    I did try a cheap-ish Blackhawk PC once, for about 1Km. Not a fan, at all.

    ...but on most any rail, you can figure out a way to just put screws and nuts through holes and almost any (not zero-sensitive) item will hold just fine.
    Agreed. It's not the actual nuts that's the issue. On the competition harnesses, there's a metal 'shoe' that connects the harness to the rifle's forend. It sets the spacing between the nuts. It's not a soft mount, either... there's an aluminum or polymer standoff built in to the yoke that keeps you from whacking your head on the barrel when slung.
    Not a problem with an Anschutz / UIT rail, there's enough 'slop' in a Keymod slot to make it work, but a lot of other applications will require a modification to either the sling's shoe or addition of a short UIT rail section to the rifle.

    @Bakwa I've run 4 of them so far, and have two more this year. I tend to run more like the Taliban and less like a SEAL in these events, choosing to go as light and minimal as possible. I have a write up on all of my R&G's and the kit I used on my website twobluescrews.com
    If you are going, I will be at Legion in two weeks for the 9/11 memorial run. I will be changing things up a bit and including a micro chest rig on this one since the round count is a bit higher.

    I’ve only done one RNG event (Heartbreak) For me it was more of a walk and shoot. I was really happy with how gear felt and performed.

    Safariland 3gun belt and ALS holster
    Low profile micro style molle chest rig (AR and pistol mag pouches, and snacks)
    H style harness with a 2L hydration carrier
    TAB Gear biathlon sling

    I did a few test hikes to tune the gear fit and make sure it was comfortable. I strongly recommend a duty type holster with active retention. Between your sling and the obstacles it sure is nice to know that your pistol isn't coming out of the holster unless you want it to.

    The only thing I will do differently is to make sure my water has an electrolyte supplement in it&. I drank my whole 2L over that 10K and I cramped up pretty good during the last few miles after the obstacle course.

    Ive found its best to keep your supplement separate in a gel like form or something similar. The water needs to be water, in case you need to use it to squirt and clean off optics....or wounds.

    I have a biathlon exercise coarse set up on my land that the wife and I both run. She just uses a padded sling and holds her rifle behind her while running to stabilize. I use a tab biathlon sling but also keep a hand behind me to stabilize rifle.

    The heat index on my last run was 114 and saw several guys drop out due to heat and others on side of the trail cramping, etc.

    If you are waiting until the event to hydrate then it’s already too late. You need to be hitting water pretty hard all the time but especially the whole week leading up.

    Man I tried to get this going on my website, twobluescrews.com but I can't seem to find an easy way to locate the events. If people will send them to me I will put them up, but like you I don't have Facebook which seems to be where everyone thinks everyone hangs out now days. It's been a struggle.
     
    Plus 1 for screw Facebook and the likes. If you put run and gun in the search bar at practiscore it will usually pull up a few. Also if you search it online there will be some info that pops up, you may need to read through some articles to find links to events and stuff there was one by recoil magazine with some. If I think of some more I’ll put it here
     
    Due to the nature of sanctioning [or there lack of] for these types of events, there isn't a "official" name for them. Many have self titled themselves as Run-N-Gun, so unfortunately searching that is really your best bet.
    It's not like 3-gun or IPSC where they are sanctioned and standardized, and therefor labeled by their type across the country.

    I've found out about more through word of mouth at the events than I ever did searching on the internet. lol

    P.S. I'm going to try and go to the Rivers Bend Gun Club Run-N-Gun in GA this Aug May if they're doing it this year.
    Cheers!

    I did the Pawnee Winter Run 'n Gun last month. Learned a ton.

    If you find any other sites that have a list, please let me know. This is the only one I have found, besides digging on Practiscore.

    How did you do at Pawnee? I was there too. When crossing the creek I lost my footing and fell completely in. It made for a cold back half of the course, haha. It was more like a mud run through most of it.

    I ran pretty well, all things considered. Like the mud and rain. Ended up in the top 10 on the 5K, top 5 on the 15K

    The scores for several of the 10K runners were way off, so not really sure how that one ended up. My 10K "time" was 35 minutes longer than my combined 15K time, sooo....... who knows.

    I was waist deep through the creek on the second time through, but stayed upright

    Learned a lot about how the stages are run. Training with weight is going to be critical. I only ran with the plate carrier I used a few times loaded out. Starting a regular running routine with weight is on my agenda. Got back and immediately started training for a half marathon though.

    Water on the 10K would have been a good idea. I slammed 2 bottles between the 5K and 10K, and brought one with me. By the wait on stage 4, I was quite thirsty.

    3 largest changes I'm going to make are
    1) Different rifle sling setup (hopefully different rifle as well).
    2) Bring 32-62oz water on the 10K portion.
    3) Run the plate carrier tighter with a couple less mags, or a suspender/belt setup with less mags.

    Good job! Yeah, their scoring is all jacked up. I enjoyed the course but the scoring leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I have to remember it’s just for fun. We are offering to help them on the scoring so we’ll see if they take us up on it.

    My kit evolved several times as I started running these, especially my rifle. I feel like I have it pretty dialed in now so it’s just little tweaks.

    I typically start doing all my runs with the same weight I’m going to carry about 3 months before the event.

    I'll give this thread a refresh. Anyone going to any of the upcoming Run & Guns in the Texas/Oklahoma area?

    I ran the WTF Sunday Sprint down in Crawford, TX in October. That was a really well run match. All of the scoring and wait time was on tablets by the ROs, with no paper cards to carry. The stages were challenging, and I would not try to run it with iron sights again.

    I made a list of the Run n Guns I could find upcoming (some of them hopefully) in the Oklahoma and Texas area. I'm going to try to hit a few of them in 2022.

    If anyone wants to add others please do.

    Since the Oklahoma Run n Gun and Burial Mound parted ways, has anyone at Burial Springs taken you up on your offer of scoring help?

    I noticed that the Oklahoma Run n Gun updated their website to say they will be using timers this year.
     
    The OK RnG guys wouldn’t take us up on the offer.

    The new guys running the Burial Mound event have been putting on night time runs there for a while and they are way more organized. Scores are entered electronically at each stage so your card only holds your wait times.

    Looking forward to see how they handle the larger daytime shoot. I don’t plan on going back to the OK RnG event until I hear some reports that they’ve gotten their act together.
     
    My son and I will be running the 5k event this weekend...


    We're not trying to win, and our scores will be jacked up because we will be waiting for each other so that we can transition together. But, it is a great time shooting, and in the 2 events we have done so far, we haven't finished last...

    I'm scheduled for the new location, and really want to like it, given it is a closer drive for me. I have similar reservations though. I'll let you know how it ends up.

    That's one of the things I really liked about the WTF Run n Gun. They had an RO ask to see a clear rifle, and then your runner number, when you approached the stage. They verified your name, and hit start on the tablet, which started your wait time. Your wait time ended when you either started the stage, or ended the stage. They ran Bluetooth timers that synced with the pads. It was seamless, and final scoring was completed pretty quickly.
     
    Just found this. Guess it’s a necro thread but still relevant. Excellent write up for the Legion matches. Curious what they have in store for us this year…
     
    Now that the thread has been re-awakened...
    I'll be at the Sweat'n'Bullets run n gun in Savannah this August.
    Anyone else going to be there?

    I've done that one twice but won't be at the August one. Spray your guns down with Barricade before you go. That brackish water you will move through there produces rust faster than anything I've seen. If you wait until the next day to clean your guns, it'll be too late.

    Another question for the necro-thread.

    @Burdy @ClangClang

    Ran my Haley chest rig again yesterday in a two gun match. I have had it for over a year, and I replaced the X harness with an H harness when I bought it. I’m a fairly big guy with a wider back, and the issue I’m having is when I have the placed set up on my chest, where I think it should be, the straps dig into may lats badly. I have two 6” long raw spots for yesterday’s match coming across my scapulas and under my arm pits.

    I can limit this by loosening, but then the mags ride my front like a plate carrier
    Placard. Fine when I have a PC on but less than ideal for moving at speed and it moves around more than I care for.

    Question is, has anyone played around with different harness configs or padding to avoid this? The only thing I can think to do is try something like a Hill People setup, though it’s not much different, or swap to a system like the Spiritus split rig, which is essentially an updated load bearing Harness.

    80-85% of the time I don't run any chest rig. If I can get it all on the belt with maybe just two mags thrown in my pant pockets, that is my preferred method. I am not saying this is right or wrong, I just like to avoid things on my chest if possible for better breathing, as well as not having to worry about it being there during a nasty muddy low crawl (its also harder to low crawl in general depending upon how low).

    With that being said, once or twice a year the round count gets up high enough where I need to run one and so far I have been happy with the Ready Rig from Trex Arms. I have ran it for probably 3 events now (and will run it later this month at Legion most likely). I have not had any comfort issues, but it is a minimalist set up that allows me to run 3 more AR mags and two pistol mags fairly "slickly"

    But, it has been OOS for ever...

    I'm going to try this, as it fits my chest rig...

    But, I'd guess that it was "Balls Hot" during your event and you were sweating pretty good. That and movement is a recipe for chafing. Loose enough to not rub, or tight enough not to move, are the alternatives. Neither seem very good for a chest rig...

    That is a seriously full belt. It’s awesome to see how differently people handle the load. My buddy from 7SFG wants almost nothing on his belt. Small dump pouch and one pistol mag. He runs extended mags and in a chest rig with a pistol tucked behind his AR Mags most runs. He strikes me as a guy who should have been around for Rhodesia… Young guy with an old soul.

    I’ll look into these. Option for sure. Thank you.

    Was also thinking I may run up to Lightfighter/ATS and see if they can custom make me a harness to fit me. Something along the lines of shoulder straps to an elastic tapered cummerbund to hold my ribs and lats. At that point, I’m half was to a vest or PC though.
     
    A pic from a video yesterday. You can see how these strap dig in, especially when I press out the pistol. It was hot, and I’m sure being soaked contributed.

    I also avoid chest rigs. I do use suspenders. Chest rigs get hot as balls.

    I can carry ~6 AR mags and ~6 pistol mags with this setup, plus a small water bottle. The old GI pouches ride over my butt serve as my extra ammo/water carry.

    If I need more ammo I'll take a BFG 10 speed bandolier. I like being able to slide it around to ride on my chest or back. I run much cooler that way.

    I've never experienced the chafing like you describe and I run mine pretty tight. It has no bounce or movement at all.

    I have some hip issues that cause me unbearable pain when running with a loaded gun belt. So I have everything on my chest rig including my pistol. It's a custom rig designed by me and built by Darrin at EGL. It has plenty of downsides and I generally wouldn't recommend it, but it's kept me in the game (and I've won Legion, Zombie, and Gun Run with it).

    I can run faster with my hips unencumbered. So I wear a lightweight nylon belt with a single AR and pistol mag pouch on my support side for emergency reloads but that's it. However the round count for this coming Legion is high enough that I'll need to figure something else out. I'll be testing this weekend.
