Discussing a NEW FAST Division: AUTO RIFLE with Luke on The Firearm Blog’s Behind the Gun.TFB Behind the Gun #232: FAST Auto Rifle Division ft. Russell Phagan

The TFB Description:

“Russell Phagan has never met a shooting sport rule he didn’t want to push. From building out the   Brutality match series with InRangeTV, to founding   FAST (Firearms Action Shooting Trials) as its own standalone series, to his day job as VP at KE Arms, he’s spent two decades finding the edge of what a “practical” gun match can look like — and now he’s found a new one. FAST’s newest division is Auto-Rifle: full-auto and forced-reset-trigger rifles, competing on the same stages as everyone else, for the first time in a mainstream two-gun series. The division debuts at FAST-ID in Parma, Idaho, this October, presented by X-Tech Tactical, with Red Right Hand sponsoring a dedicated Auto-Rifle stage where every competitor — regardless of division — gets to run a belt-fed gun. Russell returns to break down why FAST is willing to build rules around FRTs when most series won’t. I’ll be there, so hope to see some of you out there at the match!”
