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 demonstrates the D.O.P.E. drill, a practical exercise for improving rifle-to-pistol transitions. Performed by Tanner Denton, the drill involves shooting 5 rounds from a rifle (Sig MCX in 5.56 NATO) followed by a transition to 5 rounds from a pistol (Glock 17/19 in 9mm) at distances ranging from 5 to 25 yards. The drill emphasizes speed and accuracy, with scoring based on target zones and total time, calculating a hit factor.
This video from Tactical Rifleman features Instructor Zee, a retired Green Beret, demonstrating the 'Check Drill'. This advanced training drill combines rifle and pistol manipulations, including transitions and reloads, to maximize weapon handling practice. It emphasizes efficient movement between primary and secondary firearms under pressure.
