The Driller’s Guide to Christmas

Day 17: LED Rifle Lights
MSRP: $6.00

Attach these LED lights to the ends of your drill rifle using either tape or the included rubber wristband and be the envy of your unit! These lights are activated with motion which means every spin, stop, and slam causes a flash of light. Available in red, white, blue, and green, the Drill-Team Dynamics Inc. staff was surprised to learn that a current Nationals Head Judge would even add showmanship points for using these on the drill deck were he evaluating that particular driller provided the rest of the rifle was well-prepared! (Compete at your own risk!)

Day 15: Airline Approved Rifle Case
MSRP: $29.50 (Single) $54.95 (Double)

All one needs to do is turn on the news to realize that firearms safety is a huge – and ever-growing – concern. And it’s not always apparent that your drill rifle can’t fire, even when it’s being thrown into the air. The safest and most effective way to transport your drill rifle is in an airline approved hard-sided rifle case. This case is lockable so transporting it in flight is easy and no part of your rifle is visible so moving it from place to place (even from your mom’s car into the school for practice) will be much safer!

These Airline Approved Rifle Cases are available in both single and double-rifle models and you can order yours by CLICKING HERE!

MSRP: $210 (Black), $250 (Chrome)

Drill-Team Dynamics Inc. Staff Members have been on the ground level of testing these drill rifles for a mass market and much of the feedback sent to Glendale has been incorporated into their newest line of rifles. It is without reservation that we recommend the Glendale DrillAmerica as the best value on the market today for a replica drill rifle. These aren’t the same rifles they were at their inception and you can rest assured that the customer service you’ll receive, the cost of replacement parts, etc. will make this rifle a great value for the drill team cadet in your life!

Furthermore, with multiple finish options, these rifles not only stand up to the rigors of exhibition drill but are also gorgeous in the regulation, inspection, and color guard phases. For the past 2 years, Glendale’s DrillAmerica rifle played a key role in the attaining of National Championship accolades by the winning Demilitarized Arms drill team at the National High School Drill Team Championships. This unit utilized DrillAmerica rifles finished in woodgrain during both the Inspection and Regulation Drill phases of competition.
