I am very happy to have had the chance to introduce my friend Dr. Jackson Crawford to Brutality matches this year, at Finnish Brutality 2022. I thought we should take a few minutes to sit down and talk about his experience in the match as a first-time shooter. I’ve been doing these for a while, and it is nice to get insight into the event from a fresh set of eyes.
Jackson runs a great channel on Norse language and mythology from an academic and historical perspective – largely the same way I approach firearms and their history here, if I may be so bold a to say so. If you are interested in that subject and don’t already follow his work, you can check out his channel here:

This is truly a crossover I never imagined would happen, but am overjoyed about! I love his video with Simon Roper in which he speaks Old Norse and Roper speaks Old ENglish – they have a fairly intelligible and entertaining conversation.
I really enjoyed watching this review of a Brutality match: much more so than watching any match on here or inrange for 2 or 3 years.
I doubt I will ever fire a gun again; and I’m finding people firing guns in a competition more and more boring; but having watched this talk I will go and seek out some footage. The story is more engaging than the shooting.
I’ve subscribed to his channel as well, his content on Norse language and mythology is fascinating.
