Blue Ridge Mountain Cave Stage -- possibly the coolest thing ever.

Meanwhile, in the real world, a buncha bad guys with AKs are hiding in a cave. They redshirt their smelliest guy to draw fire, and concentrate their fire on the shooter as he engages the redshirt. After the racket ceases and many minutes of silence, the shooter's buddies, who are prudently waiting outside the cave decide that he's dead, realize that Plan A was really dumb, and then send in the satchel charges.

I haven't had a chance to toss a satchel charge in a 3 gun match, but at Texas Multigun Nationals this year, I did get to shoot a grenade launcher.

:evil:
 
I shot a low light stage a couple weeks ago; it could have been better. Need to work on that.

The biggest issue with the shoothouse I was in (consisted of a frame of some sort with black tarp over it), and I bet a cave too.... ventilation was not good. I was shooting through a haze of smoke; looks like that guys was too... Glad I wasn't the SO in that one.

Yes, that haze of smoke is a very big part of low-light and confined spaces stages, and can be a big deal to work with (especially for those of us shooting smoky lead bullet reloads!). But it's just another factor of the real world that shooting these stages helps you anticipate and learn to deal with. Smoke obscuring the sights, smoke obscuring the target, smoke casting 50% of your white light back in your face ... good stuff! :)

Probably not the healthiest environment in which to spend a lot of time, though.
 
I don't know how I'd shoot in such an environment but I'd recognize the RSOs voice anywhere. It was Gary Byerly
