Dry firing pistol training

[82ndtrooper]

Recently it was suggested that I spend 70% of my time at the range in dry firing exercises and the remaining 30% live firing.

While I do dry fire often, unloaded of course, this persons exercise drills and the resulting proficiency with 30% of the remainder of my time life firing seems like solid instruction.

What do you think of dry firing and it's practicallity to accuracy, speed and timing of live fire shooting ? Taking muscle memory and trigger press and grip into account.

Dry firing is almost as important as using the "search" button on ProfessionalSoldiers.com.

Had you done so you'd have found about 22 threads discussing dry firing, now 23.

I've heard it suggested spending more time reading and less posting sharpens one's ProfessionalSoldiers.com bulletin board survival skills.

Point taken. Will not make that mistake again.

The time spent dry firing was a suggestion from Paul Howe.

Yes, I'm sure it was... some of us have had some of the same training as Paul Howe. Have you used the search button on "Paul Howe"? Just a thought.

Yes I have read the Paul Howe thread/s .

The concept of spending a 70%/30% dry/live fire was stated in one his training simulations with PD officers on another forum. Although he did not break down the types of drills and remediation drills for the dry/live fire portion of his training. I did not see this explained in the "Paul Howe" thread stating specifics.

I did use the search feature, but nothing specifically addressed this. I'll not post again until I find more specific question that has not been addressed.

If we told you everything you need to know how would Paul make a living?
