Brutality Matches are an action shooting competition format that combines tests of marksmanship, physical challenges, and brutal scoring. 
The particular types of challenges change from event to event; but one thing remains constant is the difficulty level of the stage designs. 

The 2 Gun Action Challenge Matches held in Tucson, Arizona are where the DNA of Brutality Matches began.  InRangeTV’s Karl Kasarda has been running this match format since 2009.  Karl’s stage design philosophy emphasizes shooting under physical duress in field conditions from often awkward positions.  Unlike other action shooting sports, there is little to no memorization of stages/targets required. What is required is ability to perform marksmanship tasks while completing physical challenges and being varying degrees of fatigued/uncomfortable.   

After almost a decade of running club level 2GACM events, the first Desert Brutality was held in 2018.  This event effectively became 2GACM Nationals.  Later in 2018 the Brutality format became an International event with the first Finnish Brutality. 

The demand for this match format continually increased following the 2018 events and InRangeTV’s coverage of these events.  In 2019 Russell Phagan, aka SinistralRifleman, joined the Brutality management team bringing decades’ of match experience  to handle the admin and logistics side of these events.   

Today Karl and Russell work with regional range facilities and their local staffs to expand the Brutality Matches format to new regions and venues.
