The Kasarda drill was actually named by a long-time 2g-ACM shooter, not me, so it is what it is. But what the Kasarda drill is is an essential part of 2g-ACM philosophy and approach to shooting competition in that it perfectly blends the physical, mental and shooting all into one tight package and stage; simple to put together, simple to host but hard to succeed at.
In this video we discuss the safe methods of performing this drill and hopefully give you some tips in regards to succeeding at your own attempts at this painful, yet useful, shooting exercise.

PCCs
James C Are 9mm pcc’s allowed
Angus A – So if I was freakishly lucky enough to own an NFA full auto SMG from WW2, what classic division would it be? Is there a PCC category?
Brandon A – Can PCCs be shot in place of a rifle, and can they be still in pistol/pistol brace form?
RETRO
Joe L – What would you consider the ideal setup to be for Retro?
Darren B – What would be your choice of pistol if shooting the “Retro” division?
Arturo C – Other than holsters, are there any rules or restrictions regarding gear (slings, pouches, belts, vests, etc.) for Retro?
Henry C – What is the rational for prohibiting an ambidextrous safety in Retro Division?
Samuel K – Whats the reason behind the “no rails” rule on retro and classic rifles?
ARMORED+P
Robert B – I am trying Armored +p this year. Looks like the rules have changed slightly. Can you clarify the changes.
CLASSIC/MANUAL
dylan p – Will competitors in the manual division still have the same par time as the other divisions?
Christopher G – In regards to classic division handguns, particularly the pre-1946 designation. Are later manufacture date firearms that are otherwise identical to their pre 46 designs acceptable?
Spencer M – As a classic-manual combatant, assuming I’m in decent shape, and have functional weapon handling skills, how ready should I be to par every stage?
James B – To clarify – I’ve watched the videos you and Ian, BOTR have made re: bolt action rifles vs. semi autos… Have you seen folks take this as a challenge in matches in real life, rather than petulant foot stomping on the internet?
Gear
Bunny Can you recommend a good pistol holster for two-gun, because I’ve heard Karl say normal competition holsters don’t have enough retention?
Alexander H Aimpoint Acro, DeltaPoint Pro, Trijicon RMR?
Tim Why did you implement the new secondary equipment rules?
Donald W Why no RATS tourniquets?
Andrew K In past videos you have all stated that “slide mounted red-dots are the future;” when do you believe that competition divisions will start to reflect this impending ubiquity and allow them in classes other than open/armored/carry optics?
PATREON & REGISTRATION
Stephen A With DB2020 full with patrons, what’s the likelihood for a waitlisted individual to be able to compete?
Travis W My question is will there be changes in the future that will accommodate for non patreon subscribers to make it to future events?
Nick N Why did the armored spots go so fast?
SPECTATORS?
Jacob B What’s the word on spectators for the event?
MATCH DESIGN
Tom B. Any chance of seeing team stages similar to Tiger Valley at any of the Brutality or 2g-ACM matches?
Craig S What motivated you guys to develop more physical matches over the USPSA, IDPA norm?
Scott H Would you ever consider forcing reloads to be done behind cover?
Eric L Would you ever consider a “plainclothes” division for 2Gun using only a holster?
Tyler D Do you feel that your preference for 2 Gun over 3 Gun is due to the dislike of the 3 gun combination or the more “martial” aspects of 2 gun? Or something else?
MISCELLANY
PAUL S What is the contingency plan for a winter storm closing the roads to the range and making the event delayed or cancelled?
Jeff K Do you need any ROs or are those slots filled?
Bakuto Are there any guns you’d like to see people bring/think would be interesting to see used?
Clark L Can we expect a “socialized” prize table similar to DB2019?
Jeff I Are there any divisions that seem undeservedly less populated, and if so, would the Brutality matches benefit from incentivizing (score/equipment/time) shooters to choose them?
TRAINING
Eki T How useful is a .22 for match training purposes?
Connor D What’s the best way for someone limited to a static (no movement allowed) range to train for DB?
moosemaimer What would you consider to be the bar for entry to a DB event, as in, what should someone be capable of in terms of shooting ability and athleticism?
Trygve What do you think is a safe minimum when it comes to gear, weapon platforms, formal instruction, and experience before attending a 2-gun action challenge match?
FUN/WEIRD/PERSONAL
Tristan P In the future, when handheld rail guns or energy weapons are a thing, how will you accommodate them at matches?
Jose H Do neither of you have injuries at 40-ish that complicate or hinder your match performance?
Alan A bizarro version of you falls out a time warp armed with G11, An-94, or any of the project SPIW/SALVO guns. By how much (if at all) does he outperform you using a modern AR-15 carbine (with modern optics) at Desert Brutality/2GACM?
Fred R Will the Emperor protect me during this match?

InRangeTV launched the What Would Stoner Do (WWSD) project in 2017 with the goal of revisiting the intentions of Eugene Stoner when he developed the AR10, ultimately scaled down to the AR15 with Jim Sullivan, wherein Stoner leveraged aerospace technologies, concepts and materials in regards to designing the world’s most modern rifle. He succeeded in these goals but he was initially ahead of his time – an inline design composed of aluminum and fiberglass was something foreign & weird, certainly not a fighting man’s rifle, right?
Ultimately the AR15 became the world’s best, most reliable, handy and capable fighting rifle against all odds of existing bias and even sabotage. However, over time, the AR15 has gradually be modified by “one good idea at a time” and the AR/M16 of today has dramatically deviated from the original vision of Eugene Stoner. We aimed to bring the AR15 back to its roots, but with modern materials and concepts in 2017, and feel that we succeeded well beyond our expectations. The 2017 WWSD rifle turned into a wonderfully well balanced, accurate and durable gun that did indeed capture the spirit of those goals from the late 1950’s.
Unfortunately, the only good and viable polymer lower on the market become nearly inaccessible. The company that manufactured them went dark and the remaining inventory of those on the market went up in value and became difficult to obtain. This lower was one of the most quintessential elements of what made the WWSD rifle what it is.
We are very excited to announce today that we’re launching WWSD2020 in which we’re going to revisit all of what we did in 2017, but now with a brand new Mk3 Lower that is being manufactured by KE Arms, under the watchful eye of Russell Phagan (Sinistral Rifleman), who has a superb and institutional knowledge of the previous lowers and can incorporate lessons learned into the manufacture of this new MK3 and WWSD2020 rifle.
Ultimately this effort will culminate in not only having a truly improved Mk3 version of this polymer lower on the market, but with also with complete WWSD rifles available through a partnership with Brownells!
Brownells has provided a landing page for this project and we plan to provide videos all the nitty gritty of the revisit of WWSD in 2020 on that page, including content that can’t be published to YouTube.
