Frequently Asked Questions

What are the rules for the Cabin Fever Challenge?

The Cabin Fever Challenge requires 20 rounds fired at an 8-inch target at 100 yards. It involves four 5-round magazines, with shooting positions progressing from standing to kneeling, prone, and finally seated, including mandatory reloads between each stage. The entire drill must be completed against the clock.

What type of firearm is used in the Cabin Fever Challenge demonstration?

The host uses a modified AK-47, specifically an Arsenal SLR-107 chambered in 7.62x39mm. It features a 14.5-inch barrel with a pinned brake, an ALG single-stage trigger, a modern stock, and a Trijicon SRO red dot sight.

How is the score calculated in the Cabin Fever Challenge?

The scoring system combines the shooter's raw time with the number of shots that land within the 8-inch circle on the target. A mathematical formula is applied to these two metrics to generate a final score, adding a layer of complexity beyond just speed.

Why is shooting an AK-47 at 100 yards considered difficult?

AK-47s are generally less accurate than precision AR platforms at 100 yards. Factors like the rifle's weight and the potential for barrel torquing to affect the point of impact contribute to the challenge of achieving tight groups with an AK.
