WELCOME TO THE TACTICAL NATION
Unrivalled, adrenaline fuelled and action packed competition.
The Tactical Nation launches a new, exciting sports brand developed to raising the profile of shooting sports and the firearms industry.
Our unique approach blends two of the worlds largest industries, fitness and firearms, into the perfect competitive environment providing a true test of skill, endurance and mental strength.

The Tactical Challenge
Athletes must complete 12 stages over a two day competition. Each stage involves a unique blend of fitness and marksmanship that is designed to challenge your skills and improve your inner warrior.
Our goal for The Tactical Challenge is to stage a balanced competition with a 50/50 ratio of equal parts of physical fitness and shooting skill.
Our 3 division format allows athletes of any level of fitness or shooting skill to compete, whilst being able to learn and develop their skills, get fitter and healthier and move up the tiers to challenge themselve as they improve.
Mental grit and the ability to concentrate even when physically tired and under pressure is a key element that will thwart even the best athlete.
PHYSICAL FITNESS
Running, swimming, pushing, pulling and carrying, in other words functional fitness or what we call Tactical Fitness.
Think fusions, CrossFit without the handstands, Hyrox without the cute outfits, this is a fusion of all physical tasks to create a physical challenge we believe will make you safer, stronger and more prepared for real life situations.
MARKSMANSHIP
Using both Pistol and AR-15, shooting under pressure from our time plus points scoring system, a variety of shooting positions, obstacles and above all else being accurate with a 150BPM heart rate.
This is sport shooting at its most challenging.

THE HEADSHOT CIRCUS
A world of precision rifle competition that promotes the sport in a manner aimed to attract a younger generation which is essential for the growth of ANY sports brand.
Fun and dynamic, a safety first mantra and an expectation of a serious but fair competitive spirit.
Welcome to The Headshot Circus, welcome to the new age of precision shooting sports.

A NEW ERA OF PRECISION RIFLE
In 2025 The African Precision Master brings a new style and challenge to the Precision rifle circuit and will elevate the profile with a fully produced live broadcast of every show.
South Africa is the launch country of The Precision Master ,which will experience huge expansion in 2026 into Europe and the UAE, as we establish a true world tour.
The use of different formats and match types will ensure constant innovation and the inclusion of a mini-stadium like setting, to bring in the crowds, will allow our athletes to experience a multitude of pressure environments.
