Rick Crawley, a law enforcement veteran, introduces the 'Man Card Drill,' a rigorous performance standard designed to test shooting proficiency under pressure. The drill involves timed pistol draws from compressed ready (1s) and holster (1.5s), rifle presentations from low and high ready (1s each), and a rifle-to-pistol transition (2.5s). Many participants struggle to meet these demanding par times, highlighting the importance of consistent, high-level performance on demand. The drill emphasizes that passing is about demonstrating capability, not just general shooting ability.

This video details the 'Man Card Drill,' a challenging 'performance on demand' standard designed for both rifle and pistol proficiency. Conducted 'cold' (unloaded firearm until the drill starts), it emphasizes sound fundamentals under pressure. The drill involves a series of shots from various positions, including compressed and holster starts for pistol, and different ready positions for the rifle, with specific par times for each stage. It also incorporates transitions from rifle to pistol and magazine reloads, including a tac-reload. Success requires hitting the C-zone of a target (steel or IPSC) within the given time limits. The drill aims to expose weaknesses in a shooter's training and encourage fundamental efficiency.
This video details the 'Man Card' drill, a performance standard focused on first-round accountability for both rifle and pistol, designed to be shot cold. The drill emphasizes sound fundamentals under pressure, simulating stress to reveal shooter weaknesses. It involves precise shooting at C-zone sized targets at 25 yards with specific par times for various stages, including transitions from rifle to pistol. The drill uses a par-timer, one full pistol magazine, one full rifle magazine, and one empty rifle magazine for transitions. Failure occurs with any shots outside the C-zone or exceeding par times.
