Varusteleka’s Finnish Brutality challenges its competitors in Finnish fall weather

Varusteleka and InRange TV will host shooting competition Finnish Brutality next weekend OCT 23rd to OCT 24th at the Loppi shooting center in Finland. The competitors will have to face even harder challenges than before and endure the unpleasant conditions that is October in Finland. 

Finnish Brutality is a two-gun shooting match organized by military and outdoor store Varusteleka and YouTube channel InRange TV. In addition to testing participants’ marksmanship skills, Finnish Brutality challenges its competitors with physical challenges and harsh conditions. 

Finnish Brutality saw its first iteration in the summer of 2018. This year, Finnish Brutality will be held on OCT 23rd and 24th at the Loppi shooting center in Finland. Its sister event Desert Brutality will be held in Utah in November, where you can also find Varusteleka's strike team.

Competitors of previous Brutality matches have asked for even harder stages, and this year’s match aims to fulfill those wishes. In addition to the weather and lighting conditions of the Finnish fall, the stages have unique challenges to test the competitors’ composure and skills in extreme conditions. 

In addition to Karl Kasarda from InRange TV, Finnish Brutality will also see Ian McCollum from Forgotten Weapons, the Polenar Tactical group from Slovenia as well as British YouTube star Bloke on the Range taking part. Equipment and props for the stages are provided by firearm and ammunition manufacturer Sako, truck manufacturer SISU and event planner Mil-Safarit. 

Finnish Brutality 2021 was originally planned to be hosted in February in spirit of the Finnish Winter War, but due to regulations, the main event had to be postponed to the fall. In place of the February event, Varusteleka and InRangeTV organized Remote Brutality where competitors could take part by filming their stage run and posting it online. Remote Brutality saw more than 200 competitors around the world taking part in the event.

Representatives of the media are warmly welcome at Finnish Brutality 2021. We ask that you contact [email protected] beforehand.
