TFB Behind the Gun #139: The Proving Grounds with Matt & Dan
Most of you know by now that I’m quite fond of firearms competitions in virtually any form. However, my favorite growing style of competition is of course the two-gun competition where the equipment list is typically more accessible to the average gun owner. Today we’ll learn from Matt and Dan of the Proving Grounds Competition that this is actually a key feature for them when it comes to the key goals of The Proving Grounds. According to Dan and Matt, provided you can afford the ammo and get yourself to South Carolina, anyone with an AR and a pistol and any type of plate carrier is welcome to participate and should be able to be competitive at The Proving Grounds. Today Matt and Dan will fill us in on everything you need to know should you decide to take the challenge for yourself at any one of the TPG competitions that takes place throughout the year.

TFB Behind the Gun #139: The Proving Grounds with Matt & Dan
In today’s episode of TFB’s Behind the Gun Podcast, we’re bringing on Matt and Dan of The Proving Grounds to discuss what makes their competition special. The Proving Grounds is an athletically focused two-gun match that incorporates elements of 3-gun style target engagement and movement, along with some more athletic firearms competitions like The Tactical Games. Set to take place in two weeks, The Proving Grounds typically is held in the South Carolina Region, specifically at The Sawmill Complex and the Clinton House where competitors are allowed to shoot virtually any caliber of firearm they’re comfortable with, and get a chance to engage targets beyond the confines of a pistol bay for that extra added challenge. Today Dan and Matt will share what they love about shooting how they got involved with The Proving Grounds, and why they think you should participate. Please give a warm welcome to Dan & Matt of The Proving Grounds.
