Short dryfire video

[mwlabel]

I've had a few people on here ask me what my dryfire practice is like. I have a big book of drills I work my way through, so this is only one example. But I broke out the camera to give a decent idea.

The drill is a simulation of a 3 target array. Draw to a far target, drive quickly to a close, open target at 10 yards, and then to another far target.
I'm using a 1/3 scale target at 10 feet, with two 2" circles as the far targets. Two shots on each.
I decided to add a reload. So it goes: Draw to Far Target #1 w/ two shots, reload, Close target w/ two shots, and then Far Target #2 w/ two shots.
PAR time is set at 2.9 seconds.

The audio is pretty useless on this one. Noises are both missing and delayed. I do curse at myself, so PARENTAL ADVISORY: EXPLICIT CONTENT.

I need to get in the habbit of more dry fire training. How often do you do your dry fire training?

Normal is 5-6 days per week w/ one session. Good weeks are at least every day, if not twice.

Dry fire practice is key. I don't do it often enough. Even just simple drills like drawing and finding a sight picture (no need to even pull the trigger - bust us an empty gun!) can make a huge difference. Make sure to practice with typical clothing and gear and it will pay dividends. Trigger control drills are great too. I learned to fire a DA revolver by balancing a dime in the barrel and pulling the trigger. Took months before I could keep the dime on there (and on my model 36, I still can't!!)

Thanks for sharing the video.

Some great advice. It is critical to practice so that when the real thing occurs, You are prepared. Whether it is competition or self defense, practice makes purpose.
