Achilles Heel Tactical 2-4-2 Drill

The 'Man Card' drill emphasizes timed engagements with pistols and rifles, focusing on rapid acquisition and precise shot placement.

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.
