PCSL GOAT 2 Gun

When the Practical Competition Shooting League announced the GOAT 2-Gun, competitors knew this wasn’t going to be just another match. This was the first PCSL-run major in Florida—a chance to test skill, gear, and grit on a stage designed to push shooters to their limits.

From the opening moments, the match had an energy that set it apart. The air buzzed with anticipation, rifles and pistols were dialed in, and competitors stood ready to chase the title of GOAT.

PCSL’s Mission and Growth

The Practical Competition Shooting League was built on a simple but powerful idea: make competition more accessible, flexible, and relevant to modern shooters. With divisions that allow for both practical setups and full competition rigs, and with stage design that balances speed and precision, PCSL has carved out a distinct identity in the shooting world.

The GOAT marked a milestone—bringing PCSL’s major-match format to the Southeast and setting the stage for continued growth across the country.

Inside the Match

The GOAT featured eight full-sized stages, each designed to challenge competitors with a mix of speed, movement, and marksmanship. On average, shooters burned through around 200 rifle rounds and 200 pistol rounds, forcing careful planning and equipment management.

Divisions and categories ensured there was room for everyone:

• Divisions: Competition and Practical.

• Categories: Armored, Military, Veteran, LEO, Lady, Senior, and Junior.

Scoring followed the hit factor system, rewarding both accuracy and efficiency.

The Prepper Match

Before the main event, the Prepper match gave shooters a taste of what was to come. With five stages and a lower round count, it was a perfect entry point for those new to PCSL or those wanting a warm-up run.

The Prepper’s goal was clear: get competitors familiar with the format, build confidence, and set the tone for the GOAT.

Why the GOAT Matters

The GOAT wasn’t just about trophies—it was about proving what PCSL can bring to the table. For Florida, it was the first major PCSL event, a chance for shooters in the Southeast to experience the league’s unique flavor. For PCSL, it was a chance to showcase a well-designed, well-run match that built community and drew in new competitors.

Most importantly, the GOAT showed why PCSL is growing so quickly:

• Modern rules that reflect today’s gear and competition.

• Flexibility to accommodate different shooter styles.

• Community that makes space for everyone, from new competitors to seasoned veterans.

Final Takeaway

The GOAT PCSL 2-Gun wasn’t just another date on the calendar—it was a statement. A statement that the Southeast is ready for PCSL. A statement that the format has momentum. And a statement that if you want to prove yourself against some of the best in 2-Gun, the GOAT is where you need to be.
