Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Kasarda Drill and what makes it challenging?

The Kasarda Drill is a demanding shooting competition stage that combines marksmanship with significant physical exertion. Its challenge comes from integrating heavy kettlebell throws (62 lbs) and rapid transitions between prone shooting positions with accurate engagement of a spinner target, all under time pressure.

What firearms were used in the Kasarda Drill at Desert Brutality 2019?

Competitors in the Kasarda Drill at Desert Brutality 2019 primarily used AK-47 style rifles chambered in 7.62x39mm, such as the Brownells 605 retro rifle. Some also utilized historically inspired firearms like the XM177E2 clone, and engaged targets with pistols in later stages.

How does magazine capacity affect strategy in stages like the Kasarda Drill?

Stages like the Kasarda Drill, especially when using limited-capacity magazines (e.g., 20-rounders), necessitate a strong focus on shot placement and magazine management. Competitors must prioritize one-for-one hits to conserve ammunition and successfully complete the stage without running dry.

What role does physical conditioning play in the Kasarda Drill?

Physical conditioning is paramount in the Kasarda Drill. The stage requires competitors to perform strenuous kettlebell throws and quickly transition between prone shooting positions. This physical demand directly impacts shooting accuracy and overall stage time, making it a true test of both skill and stamina.
