Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Man Card Drill and its purpose?

The Man Card Drill, developed by Achilles Heel Tactical, is designed to test your 'performance on demand' from a cold start. It assesses your ability to quickly and accurately engage targets with both pistol and rifle from various ready positions and includes transitions and reloads.

What are the key components of the Man Card Drill for pistol shooters?

For pistol shooters, the Man Card Drill includes an iteration from compressed ready with a goal of under one second for a single shot, and another from the holster with a goal of under 1.5 seconds. Both use C-Zone steel targets at 25 yards.

How does the Man Card Drill incorporate rifle shooting?

The rifle portion of the Man Card Drill involves engaging C-Zone steel at 25 yards from low ready (under 1 second), high ready (under 1 second), and a sequence requiring a one-round shot, a transition, a reload, and a second shot (under 2.5 seconds).

Why is a shot timer important for the Man Card Drill?

A shot timer is crucial for the Man Card Drill because it provides objective timing for each iteration. This allows shooters to accurately measure their performance against the set par times, rather than relying on subjective estimations of speed.
