So I have been working mag reload drills, pulling the trigger to keep from jerking when I fire etc. Any other good tips on training at home to help keep skill/improve accuracy. Wont see a range for maybe a month grrr.

Go here - http://andersonshooting.com - and order a copy of Steve Anderson's Refinement and Repetition. It's a book of dry-fire drills, and it is really good.

When I first started trying to incorporate drawstrokes into my dry-firing, I made up some powerpoint presentations to set 'par' times, incorporate target movements and such. It was convenient doing thirty or forty draws on different targets with different par times.

Well BE SURE TO UNLOAD THE GUN, then check it, double check it, and triple check it.

Then use some of the drills at this website which allows you to engage various targets on your computer screen: http://burkettvideo.com/dryfire.html

I always check everyone of my firearms even if I know they are unloaded. I just cop it off to, "maybe someone came in my house and fiddled with it." I even check to make sure ones in the chamber when conceal carrying.

The loudest sound in a gun fight is the hammer strikeing on a empty chamber.


Thanks for the heads up when/if I get some cash I'll pick them up thanks again.

Inferno, they're free. Go to that link, then click on each link on the webpage, to get interactive targets that will appear, disappear, move, etc on your screen. No need to get money, unless you don't own your own computer.

Sorry if you didn't want the reminder to unload, but since a friend recently had a ND, I NEVER recommend ANY dry fire drills without first reminding someone to clear, check, double check, etc. I'd hate to think I encouraged someone to do something that ultimately led to an accident, so I always put the reminder on there. Also, serves as a reminder to myself, to help prevent me from doing something bad too. :)

Ohh well crap hahaha yeah I found that out before I rechecked the link. No No you should always warn everyone. There is one person that can hand me a gun and say "its clean" but he usually shows me and I generally watch him check it. Even though we both know there are no rounds in from 5 minutes ago. Better safe then sorry and I took no offense.
