Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Special Forces Check Drill?

The Special Forces Check Drill is a firearms training exercise designed to ensure a shooter can maintain offensive capability when their primary weapon (rifle) runs dry or malfunctions. It involves shooting two rounds, transitioning to a pistol for one shot, assessing the rifle, performing a tactical reload, and engaging the target again.

What are the key steps in the Special Forces Check Drill?

The drill begins with two rounds in the rifle, followed by engaging the target. Upon the rifle going dry, the shooter immediately transitions to their pistol, fires one round, assesses the rifle, stows the pistol, performs a tactical reload on the rifle, and fires a final round.

Why is the pistol transition important in the Check Drill?

The pistol transition is crucial because it allows the shooter to maintain fire on the target while addressing the issue with their primary rifle, such as a lack of ammunition or a malfunction. This ensures continuous engagement capability.

What is the purpose of assessing the rifle during the pistol transition?

Assessing the rifle while retaining the pistol in the workspace allows the shooter to quickly determine if a reload is necessary or if there's a different issue to address. This efficient assessment prevents wasted time and maintains situational awareness.
