TACOST Rifle Card Set From TRICON Now Available

May 29th, 2014

Two weeks ago, we posted a sneak peak of the Rifle drill expansion for the TACOST card set from TRICON. Now, the set is fully available for purchase on the TRICON website.

20140515-112737.jpg

Developed by Jeff Gonzales, TRICON’s TACOST (TAsk, COnditions & STandards) card set offers four different rifle training groups: marksmanship, speed, baseline, and dry fire, with 13 training exercises per group. These are kind of like training decks for other sports with different exercises or drills in this case on each card. The drills are clearly explained with information including range, rounds fired, point penalties, and a basic explanation. Additionally, the deck includes Legend and Safety Rules cards. In a pinch, the cards can also function as a full deck of playing cards, as they’re marked with all four suits and 13 ranks.
