Summary
What happens when one of the masterminds behind the Brutality shooting matches decides to go bigger, faster, and nationwide? In today's episode of TFB Behind the Gun, Russell Phagan joins the show to unveil his latest competition project, Fast-Matches.org, a fresh, high-speed take on two-gun and rifle action shooting. Russell walks us through the thinking behind his new match divisions, from the fast and furious two-gun courses to the challenging Rifle Only categories. He shares what competitors should pack, how to train, and why this new series is built for everyone, not just guys with high-end competition-specific equipment. With matches kicking off this year in three states, and plans to spread across more of the U.S. in 2026, Fast Matches is more than just competition; it's a new way that gun owners can grow the sport and build a stronger, more inclusive shooting community in the most meaningful way possible.
