How it all started.
FAFO started as a way to keep connected with my Tactical Games friends in between competitions but, it grew into a global community that united like minded fitness and firearms enthusiasts around the world.
To understand the why let’s take you back to my first Tactical Games, and really my first firearms competition. A farm boy from rural Pennsylvania, I was an avid hunter and love the challenge of marksmanship. I also loved physical fitness. I was introduced to The Tactical Games through social media. It looked awesome!!! My two passions wrapped up into one sport.
But, there was a catch. The competitions were far. I had never traveled with a gun before. And … if I am being honest, I was a bit intimidated to compete in something I knew little about in front of other people.
I watched from the sidelines of instagram for a year. Each time a post would come up I would day dream of going. Finally, I couldn’t take it anymore and drove 16 hours (bc flying with guns was scary) to my first TTG event.
The experience was incredible. The people were welcoming. The events were awesome. I was hooked.
I loved it so much I wanted to stay connected with my new friends in between events so, I started sending some of them workouts we could all do at our ranges. We would do the workouts, compare scores … and talk smack.
Eventually, this turned into the competitions and monthly workouts you see on this site.
I encourage you all to enjoy, connect, and support this wonderful community.
