Draw from holster from different start positions, magazine changes, target transitions, movement, getting into position after movement - all with the same equipment used in competition. It's definitely one tool of many, but a highly important tool.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11006015336607998634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349428160142078931.post-5253629699634943712012-12-08T09:01:41.419-05:002012-12-08T09:01:41.419-05:00It’s important to remember that dry fire is -an- a...It’s important to remember that dry fire is -an- answer, not the answer. I’ve found airsoft makes a good target to target transition practice tool, but they are woefully inaccurate behind about 25 feet. If you’re lucky enough that your handgun has a very close airsoft replica that will fit in your holster you can practice everything from draw, present to multiple targets, a lot easier than with dry fire. <br /><br />That said, the trigger pull on the airsoft guns is almost laughably easier. So I use dry fire for trigger feel work, then transition to airsoft for “target” practice when not at the range. It helps that I have a large enough back yard with a natural back stop. <br /><br />US RKBAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02828308103980894858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349428160142078931.post-90907535932548164912012-12-08T08:35:30.737-05:002012-12-08T08:35:30.737-05:00I don't but I've looked at those. You'...I don't but I've looked at those. You've hit on a good point that I didn't cover. The secret to good dry fire training is being honest about it. You have to call that you're pushing the trigger on an "A." Try to go too fast and you don't. Still need range time to verify that you are embedding good movements. The dry fire drills serve to get the motions to happen faster - to get you back to the shooting sooner.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11006015336607998634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349428160142078931.post-36821439275788442782012-12-08T07:58:47.897-05:002012-12-08T07:58:47.897-05:00That's cool.

Do you use one of those snap-cap laser thingies to show your hits?<br /><br />Although I think pointing your gun at all that beer and pulling the trigger has got to be some kind of 4-rules violation.MSgt Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00035771485514432736noreply@blogger.com
