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.

The Man Card Drill, developed by Rick Crawley of Achilles Heel Tactical, is a rigorous test of shooting proficiency under pressure. It demands precise execution of five distinct firearm manipulations (pistol and rifle presentations, and a transition) within strict time limits, using a par timer. This drill emphasizes efficiency and 'performance on demand,' pushing shooters to achieve accuracy with minimal time, as evidenced by the rarity of earning a Man Card.

Instruction from Rick Crawley of Achilles Heel Tactical focuses on improving shooting speed by prioritizing an 'acceptable' sight picture over a 'perfect' one. The technique involves visual indexing on a target focal point and understanding the transition between predictive and reactive shooting based on distance. This approach aims to increase rounds on target per second.

The Man Card Drill, developed by Rick Crawley of Achilles Heel Tactical, is a rigorous cold-start test for law enforcement carbine proficiency. It assesses fundamental skills under pressure across five iterations involving pistol and rifle engagement at 25 yards, with strict par times for each stage. The drill emphasizes the importance of fundamental application and the psychological aspect of performing under duress.

This YouTube video features Rick Crawley demonstrating and explaining the Rifle to Pistol Transition D.O.P.E. Drill. The drill involves firing one round from a rifle, transitioning to an empty magazine, and then firing five rounds from a pistol. The exercise is performed at increasing distances from 5 to 25 yards. Scoring is based on hitting specific target zones (A-zone: 5 points, C-zone: 3 points, D-zone: 1 point) across six rounds at each distance, with a total possible score of 150 points. The video also highlights the calculation of a 'Hit Factor' by dividing the total score by the total time, with a good benchmark being 10 points. Training opportunities are available through Achilles Heel Tactical.

This video clip features Rick Crawley providing instruction on the critical shooting technique of remaining target-focused. He emphasizes that difficulty with recoil management and consistent sight return stems from a lack of focus on the target within the sight picture. To achieve speed and accuracy, shooters must cultivate this discipline by practicing at practical speeds, rather than consistently shooting slowly and focusing on visual aesthetics. Understanding the process at these speeds is key to achieving consistent results.
