Published on August 24, 2023
Duration: 19:01

This video details the T.REX ARMS Scrambler Drill, a technical and difficult assessment designed to evaluate rifle handling, movement, and marksmanship under pressure. The drill is performed both 'slick' and with full tactical kit to highlight differences in performance. The primary takeaway is that this drill should be used as an assessment tool, with individual components then isolated for focused practice to achieve actual improvement, rather than simply repeating the assessment.

Quick Summary

The T.REX ARMS Scrambler Drill is a technical assessment for rifle movement and marksmanship, performed 'slick' and with tactical gear. Performance is measured by time and accuracy, with the 'hip factor' (points per second) being a key metric. The drill highlights how gear impacts shooting, especially during movement, and emphasizes isolating weak skills for focused improvement.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the T.REX ARMS Scrambler Drill?

The T.REX ARMS Scrambler Drill is a technical and challenging assessment designed to evaluate a shooter's proficiency in rifle movement, transitions, and accuracy. It involves shooting multiple targets at close range, often performed both 'slick' and with tactical gear to highlight performance differences.

How is performance measured in the Scrambler Drill?

Performance is measured by a combination of time taken to complete the drill and accuracy on the targets. A key metric is the 'hip factor,' which divides the total score (points) by the time taken, indicating points generated per second.

Does tactical gear significantly affect rifle shooting performance?

Yes, tactical gear can significantly affect rifle shooting, especially during movement drills. The added weight and momentum can impact a shooter's balance and ability to quickly acquire a stable firing platform upon arriving at a position.

What is the best way to improve shooting skills using drills like the Scrambler Drill?

The best approach is to use drills like the Scrambler as assessments to identify weaknesses. Then, isolate those specific skills (e.g., arriving into position, sight picture acquisition) and practice them individually for focused improvement, rather than just repeating the entire drill.
