Wait a couple more decades, it doesn't get any better. (Ask me how I know) :'(
The report is helping me keep it up. If somebody does something regularly for several days it becomes a habit.

Well, my first month of practice is up.
And dang it, I missed a day. I got up late, thought to myself "I'll have time when I get home from work because I'm not doing anything this evening" then when I got home from work I thought "I did that this morning, I can just relax" and the next day I got up and looked at my report and said DANG IT!!!!
On the good side, once I got a couple of weeks into the month, I had a chance to start doing more extended dryfire sessions, and actually got to the range a couple of times for live fire. Overall, 5 live-fire occasions this month, 10 extended dryfire sessions, and 17 Drill Zero sessions.
And one missed day. DANG IT.
...nonetheless, particularly with respect to SHO and WHO transitions and trigger control, I can see a difference.
How about you guys? How do the reports look? Anything you've noticed happening?
Sometime this week I'm going to try to put up a video with some variations on Drill Zero you can do instead, that take similar amounts of time but allow you to work on your skills in a slightly different fashion. Drill Zero can't do everything, and variations are fun to try.

I missed a day also early on. Kinda getting to be a daily habit to dryfire in some form.
Haven't made to the range for live fire :-[ got a few drills want to try.
Did shoot 3 competitions though.
Finally figuring out what those metal pieces on the top of the slide are for :laugh:

I still have problems with that. :(
JTH:
Finished writing the article with some variations on Drill Zero that you can do to change things up. Still won't take any more time, and (other than printing out one page) doesn't take any more equipment than Drill Zero originally did.
For me personally, the good thing was that writing this out made a couple of days of my dryfire pretty solidly energetic, and I got in a LOT more reps than normal figuring out exactly how I wanted to explain it. :)

Is Drill Zero being of use? How is practice going? Let me know what you think, and also what you think of the variations---after some practice, are they helping? Are they fixing the issues with Drill Zero that they are supposed to fix?
For folks just reading this for the first time---get yourself a copy of the Dryfire Report from the Drill Zero article, and join in! Yes, you have 3 minutes each day in which you can practice---and it will make a difference.
And for those who have missed days---ok, so what? Keep practicing!
