Learning to Shoot, Part IIA: Dryfire
« on: April 15, 2014, 03:11:28 PM »
So, awhile back I wrote a post on the PRT blog about "How do you learn to shoot?" (referenced here:   http://nebraskafirearms.org/forum/index.php/topic,11160.msg79099.html#msg79099 ) in which I said it would be followed up by commentary on effective practice.

Which I have finally had time to write.  Well, at least half of it.

How do you learn to shoot, Part IIA:  How to Practice! (dryfire section) is up on the Precision Response Training blog, and the live fire post will be forthcoming after awhile.  The dryfire part isn't comprehensive by any means (after all, that is an entire book-length discussion), but it does hit what I think are the high points about effective dryfire practice. 

Unless I've forgotten something, which I may very well have.  :)

Thoughts?

I don't have much time to post but the "wall drill" link needs changed to "http://pistol-training.com/drills/wall-drill"

A good follow-up to your class a few weeks ago.  Dryfire is something I've been trying to do, but like most things, even if I like it, it's a struggle to get started sometimes.  I keep telling myself, "just five minutes," which sometimes ends up being thirty.  Thanks for writing this.  It reminded me to practice 'the steps' and that I don't always have to strap on the holster to practice.

Thanks for mentioning that---Wordpress did something irregular there, and I missed it. 

Fixed!
