SOFAST Run & Gun — built by a Green Beret to train the way operators train: with structure, pressure, and real accountability. HERO DRILLS Every drill honors a fallen American operator by name — Delta Force, Navy SEALs, Marine Raiders, Air Force Special Operations, and Special Forces. On the anniversary of their KIA date, that drill becomes the Featured Drill of the day. FACTORY BOX + CLOSED BAY Ammo is a factory box: 50 of 9mm or 20 of 5.56. Sessions that mix PT and live fire are a closed bay, not the stall next to strangers. BUILT-IN CLOCK Honor-system scoring on the in-app clock. No phone-mic shot detection, no Bluetooth timer to pair. WORKOUT LIBRARY Safety, warm-ups, short and long sessions, Hero WODs. Filter by ammo box. Score hits by zone. CROSS-TRAINS WITH SOFAST GROUNDWORK Same honor culture — pairs with SOFAST Groundwork for the fitness half of range day.
