Dry fire

Post by keithj » Sat Feb 27, 2010 8:16 am

After last weeks horrible slow fire practice session .....I decided to try some dry fire practice to see any potential problems.....I thought I had trigger control under control so to speak.....being a old rifle shooter with many yrs of long range experience I thought My trigger control was good....well........after a dry fire session i found some things to work on ....first my trigger squeeze will pull the dot to my left of the target and i also have a tendence to push the gun makeing some shoots go low.....so with the combination of the 2 querks .....low left and then throw in some tightening grip syndrome and there it is ..........low left or high .......never think dry fire practice is useless ....I dont anymore .....just had to see it for myself....going to range tommorow now that i know what to lok for I'm sure I'll do better..........

Mixing snap caps into your magazine during live fire can help also … it makes your flinches blatantly obvious
Fixing the flinch is generally preferable to moving sights to compensate, unless you have a really consistent flinch.
