What are you guys doing for dry fire practice? I do some standard draws, then again using my strong hand only then weak hand from ready. I do about 160 mag reloads a night as well. So you guys have any other drills or advice on what I should be working on? |
These are not competition specific. Practice with multiple targets so you can improve your transitions. Practice with small targets to help your distance shooting. Burkett reloads. Tactical, slide lock and speed reloads. Practice malf clearing, Tap Rack Bang and feedway stopage/doublefeed. Practice from different start positions, surrender, hands relaxed, back to targets. Practice with and without a cover garment. If you have room and can improvise, practice drawing and shooting around barriers, from both sides. Vary your speed, practice at a moderate speed for a while then push your speed up. Understand at what speed you start making mistakes. Take that understanding to your live fire practice. Don't practice when you are tired and making mistakes. Buy the Steve Anderson dryfire books and use those drills. Gringop |
+1 on Steve Andersons book on dryfire drills. Also when I load up dummy rounds to use for weight I add some extra lead to them so they are a little heavier than normal. Really helps to build up the muscles in the shoulders and increases speed once you start working with a lighter gun. |

Try contacting Claude Werner (Lead instructor at Bill Roger's shooting school). He has a great dry fire package. CD with video and targets. He's a master shooter across many platforms. Great instructor. His kits are reasonable and an excellent program. contact him at [email protected] |
| Put some position boxes on the ground with tape or whatever. Practice moving from box to box. Forwards, backwards, sideways, and oblique. This is great for helping you set up in the box for your first shot in a new position. You can then incorporate reloads and other things into the scenario. This is a great dry fire drill. |
