TargetTalk

Seamaster's thread on Keith Sanderson's video viewtopic.php?t=33845 has led to an interesting discussion re: dry fire training. Rather than have a lot of different discussions about different disciplines running in that thread I wanted to start a separate thread about dry fire training for rapid fire. One of the difficulties I have is when I incorporate the gun movement after the shot in moving to the next target it is difficult for me to separate out exactly what the pistol is doing at the moment of the dry fire shot, compared to a stationary dry fire shot in free pistol- especially in the four second series. I would like some input into what others think with regards to how to best do dry fire training for RF.

Thanks,

In my opinion you should absolutely not incorporate the gun movement, because that is what you will do at live fire. Dry fire is meant to repeat the action of the trigger finger and the movement from one target to the next. Just repeat the attack on the first target, the move to the second as precisely as possible, fairly slowly to start, put your attention on the correct execution of the action, speed will come with the perfection of the movement. Like with typing. In another topic there was a discussion about the advantage of electronic triggers. Well, in dry fire training the electronic trigger has definite an advantage.
Happy shooting.
