Being a great shooter is the dream of many people today. You are standing in a comfortable position, and the scope is stationary. All is ready. Then you take a few breaths, say a few phrases, and take your "shot."

Sound like a dream? Well, you can quickly turn that idea into reality. All that’s required is a little practice at the range before placing the live round while hunting.

What is dry fire?

Dry practice is a method by which you can train with firearms without using live ammunition. "Dry fire" means pulling the trigger and firing the sear without ammo in the chamber or elsewhere in the weapon.

Dry training is used to improve your shooting skills. But remember, the firing process, up to the actual ignition of the primer and the powder charge in the cartridge, doesn't change anything, whether it's produced "hot" - live or dry - without cartridges in the gun.

Moreover, using your patience and the comfort of your home, you can do everything from acquiring, retrieving, and holstering a pistol to adjusting the scope and so on.

What dry fire training do you need?

There are various ways to use and modify the exercise to achieve dry fire success. We'll look at some of them below.

Regardless of the weapon type, you need to reload from both empty and partially charged states.

But don't overdo it! Do the actual trigger pull of an empty pistol for a quick reload to check for a dead trigger, then begin the reload process.

Also, to do a hold reload, try placing an incomplete magazine in any place convenient for you. It could be a pocket or a bag where you can access it easily.

This is an extraordinary trick that will help you get the hang of the trigger. To do this, you need a coin and a pistol. Keep your coin at your sight while coin balancing trains your grip control.

However, remember that any mistake can lead to a quarter drop, which will show you that you may be doing something wrong.

Shooting with one hand is much more complicated than shooting with two hands. It is also a valuable skill when using firearms in an emergency. It seems to be very difficult, but in reality, it is not. Just practice shooting dry with one hand.

Try to alternate both hands to get the hang of it without thinking about it.

Planning is what helps us stay productive. You will see significant improvements in shooting if you practice for 10-15 minutes 4-5 times a week.

Frequent, short sessions may work even better for skill development and maintenance than long sessions.

Just make sure you take your time and feel comfortable, and start dry fire training at almost any time.

Dry fire gear and tools

Dry fire is a widespread practice for many shooters. Many different withdrawals can make the process more enjoyable.

The Laser Ammo brand provides a vast selection of laser training options for firearms. For example, they have the flagship Laser Ammo cartridge. You can store it in the chamber of your real firearm.

Also, Laser Ammo offers various laser targets that react to lasers from a cartridge.

The SIRT pistol is not just a pistol that mimics a full-size gun. It contains an AR-15 laser bolt that fits into the rifle.

The laser is activated when you pull the trigger, and it shows where you theoretically hit. The trigger is more accessible than most real guns.

The MantisX attaches to your rail and lets you understand what's wrong with the trigger and how to fix it. Also, it can work on the shooting range.
