What is The Tactical Challenge
The Tactical Challenge is the ultimate sporting fusion that combines physical fitness with sport shooting in a multi-stage competition.
Athletes must complete 12 stages over a two day competition. Each stage involves a unique blend of fitness and marksmanship that is designed to challenge your skills and improve your inner warrior.
The Tactical Challenge is about becoming a better version of YOU!
GET FIT. GET HEALTHY. BECOME SAFE CITIZENS

OUR DIVISIONS
The TTC has a total of 4 divisions available for athletes to enter. This makes The Tactical Challenge accessible to ANY fitness level or firearms experience.
We included a Veterans division for male athletes 40+ years old. Our Teams Division has a dual role, it allows athletes to partner up and build their confidence to compete on their own and it allows athletes who may not have a rifle as yet to at least compete as the rules for teams allows this.
Our New Athlete Guide will also assist you in choosing the correct division.
The Tactical Challenge is a sport and requires training. Athletes are encouraged to push their limits, this is about YOU and using The Tactical Challenge to become a better version of YOU.
