FDT Competition is a one-day event built around Fitness, Defense, and Tradecraft. Competitors will be challenged across four distinct stages designed to test individual performance, practical shooting ability, physical capability, and the ability to perform tactical skills under pressure.
- 4 STAGES
- Shooting Only
- Functional Fitness
- Shooting + Fitness
- Shooting + Fitness + Tradecraft
The first three stages are primarily time-based, with faster valid completion times earning better placement. The final Fitness + Defense + Tradecraft evolution is also time-based but includes a required GO / NO GO Tradecraft standard. Competitors must successfully complete the required Tradecraft task to receive a valid stage completion.
This event is designed to be competitive while remaining approachable for people looking to have fun, test themselves, train under pressure, or get additional experience for other shooting and fitness competitions. Competitors are scored individually and will be private upon request.
