Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key elements of the Las Vegas SWAT Rifle Qualification Course?

The course emphasizes consistency across different firearm platforms and progressive distance drills. It includes stages focusing on speed, accuracy, weapon transitions, support-side shooting, and shooting from various positions like kneeling.

For qualification, 'A-box' hits are essential. This means all shots must land within the designated scoring zone on the target, demonstrating consistent accuracy under pressure.

Key drills include failure drills (center mass and headshots), weapon transitions from rifle to pistol, shooting accurately from the non-dominant support side, and performing speed reloads while changing shooting positions.
