My First Tactical Games | Women's Masters 40+ Division | Missoula, MT

Three days after competing in my first Tactical Games Regional in Missoula, Montana, I sat down to record this after-action report while everything was still fresh. Five years ago, I discovered The Tactical Games and immediately knew two things: I wanted to compete... and I wasn't ready. Since then, I've spent years learning how to shoot better, train smarter, build strength, improve my nutrition, and become the kind of person who could step onto that starting line. This wasn't just a competition, it was the culmination of a five-year journey. In this video I share: Why I chose the Women's 40+ division instead of Intermediate What surprised me most about The Tactical Games My biggest mistakes and lessons learned The stages that challenged me the most Why my best performances were actually the fitness-only events The incredible Tactical Games community The story that changed my entire perspective during the sandbag stage Unofficially, I've also been told by three former National Champions that I likely qualified for Nationals. While I'm waiting for the official results, I'm incredibly grateful for everything this experience taught me. If you're considering competing in The Tactical Games, I hope this gives you an honest look at what it's like as a first-time competitor. The biggest lesson? Growth doesn't happen when you're comfortable. It happens when you're willing to step into the arena before you feel completely ready.
