I rarely comment but I've watched many. You are an exceptional Instructor. Excellent deconstruction & communication of the fundamental pieces I need to practice. Thank you for your generosity.
Thank you so much! I watched to the 10 min mark thinking man I really don’t care about single hand shooting. I got up, got my timer and gun, and in literally 5 min figured out I was introducing ‘too much torque’ on my last two fingers of my firing hand. Adjusted that and pressure application of the trigger.. Literally in 5 min time I had a playing card size sign 25 yards away on my fence and I was staying dead on with my dot throughout the trigger pull. Now I just have to make that muscle memory. You genuinely taught a man to fish today and I am very grateful.
This video is such a big help many people have said to me do dry fire training but they never explained what I am supposed to be doing or looking for while dry fire trainin. Thank you very much for explaining this in such detail.
This sir, is dry fire training on a whole different level......! Intensely watched your video from the beginning til the end, wow loaded with incredible information.... Thank you so much for your time effort and most of all your energy...!
Thanks man! Really liked the advice about reversing your draw path from target to holster being your most efficient draw path. Such a simple but perfect idea. Keep it up, we appreciate it!
This was an awesome video! Learned so much and I definitely have so much more to work on! Out of curiosity will you guys consider making a dry file rifle video as well. I Understand that pistol is way more intricate than rifle but I'm curious what things there are to learn with Rifle Dry fire as well. One thing I really took out of this video is changing the depth/range of targets! It makes perfect sense! Keep up the great work with the videos guys!
Thanks so much for commenting Zack! To be honest, there isn't a ton of difference in dry practice with a rifle or a pistol in terms of setups, layout, etc. The mechanics are different with a rifle than a pistol, but the methodology is very very similar. If you're using par times, they will be different with a rifle and I'd recommend using simulated further distances than a pistol in most cases (smaller targets or more distance if you have it available). If you have other questions feel free to ask!
Can you make a video about round patterns on targets? For example, point of aim is not the same as point of impact. instead, rounds are going to the left instead of the center
3 things that are happening assuming you're right handed (left handed would be right of center) 1 - your firing hand is tensing as soon as you're breaking the shot. Try putting your brain on your hand and don't let it move. Also, move the trigger at one continuous speed whether quicker or slower. I also give people the common correction to tighten their support hand and rotate the support hand elbow upward to give you more room for error. 2 - you're pushing the gun to the left with your trigger finger path. Correction would be to add more finger into the trigger (I do not subscribe to one part of the finger always having to contact the trigger face - it's different for everyone and every gun). 3 - if your support hand isn't crushing the gun literally as hard as you can, you could be tensing the support hand fingers and pulling the gun right. This one isn't as common though unless a draw/presentation are involved. Hope this helps!
This is indeed grim reality of today's bullet market. Many a well trained gun owner has had to resort to, almost exclusively, if not entirely, dry fire training.
Bright side to that is a LOT of your skill development can be gained this way! Then you can focus your live sessions on verifying that your methods are working when you have actual recoil. It drastically reduces the performance drop in your "cold" runs
Idk what you're talking about, shooters with ammo SPONSORS dryfire far more than they live fire and their ammo is free. Dryfire is indispensable regardless of ammo availablity.
Dry fire training has always been a thing even before ammo shortages all the best comp shooters dry fire. Idk why people frown upon it like it's some dirty red headed step child. It's a reality of getting good at shooting
I have been shooting for about 6 years and i am not to your level, but i am no slouch. I dry fire and train, but no one has provided such an intent driven level dry fire like this to before. I noticed a difference and fixed issues i have had since i started shooting. I tried your system and fixed at least 2 issues within just one session. Thank you.
There are people that find that to be very helpful, however I personally don't use it. I think the value of using your own gun is highly important! Also, the airsoft recoil is not realistic at all. I do think there is value to understanding "shot calling" and this helps verify that to some degree, but once you understand how to make that connection it's not as necessary imo. Hope that helps!
You can do a lot with an airsoft replica , depending on what your real gun is. Shadow2, Glock , and a few more are usable for some of the dryfire drills or to train movement
17:24 you actually do a reload with the finger inside the trigger guard . Something I wouldn’t recommend to 99% of the shooters if you want to finish a match
It would be great if prominent competitors and instructors like yourself in the limelight would adopt the language "Dry Practice" instead of "Dry Fire" and push that across the board.
@@robepifania While it may be argued its not applicable to every situation, (please disregard my channel hobby name) in my experience (retired Marine/Contractor, 0321/8654/8541 and Instructor on my own ranges) when enough people are on the line, it is possible, as I am sure you are aware for some not to understand or hear clearly firing line instructions (even though they should ask before assuming) and while the RO/RSO should hopefully be in a position for all to adequately hear the instructions, it is still possible for an ND or mishap from someone who only heard the word fire. Yes the argument can be made that the weapons should have been made clear prior to the Dry Drill, but as you know, shooters are shooters and anything can and will happen. Every once in awhile I hear someone say Dry Practice, and it clearly delineates or separates what is happening for all. I know we were all taught "Dry Fire" at a young age, and it's what most say, it's just how things were and are I guess, but it does help in my experience. Just my 2 cents.
I don’t think the idea is that it’s “hard.” People put a lot of effort into this because the whole intent of competitive shooting is to be as fast as possible while being accurate, especially to beat the other competitors.
My draw technique also works well on retention style holsters, I've worked with people on the same thing and they've had good success with it. It's not actually a scoop either 😁
