Dry Practice Observations 2018

[Coach]

Carried my gun bag into the hotel last night and tonight.

 

[Jackson]

Does carrying the bag provide a training benefit? I'll start carrying my bag around all over. :-)

 

[riverman67]

I would be interested. Did you find them valuable?

I think they are
If you are looking to mix things up or are bored with what you're doing.
I will admit to not using them for awhile. I've been sticking to a plan for some months.
I'm in Florida
We can figured something out when I get back

It makes no difference at all.

 

[Jackson]

This is very disappointing news.

Actually, if you put a loose stack of $20 and $50 bills in an almost closed zipper, the trail of cash you leave could lead to a training opportunity if you do it in the right part of town.

I don't need another ailment that requires medication.

I managed to have a decent time at nationals
I stunk up the first day pretty badly. I redeemed myself a little on days 2 and 3 . I finished in the middle of the B 's .
I'm very happy we practiced swingers and steel at distance prior to going.
Low ports, strong hand , weak hand at 15 plus yards and movement need to be on the agenda moving forward.
I'm going to take a break for awhile now.

Happy New Year Aaron and fellow dry firers!
Will there be a new thread for 2019? Did 100 dry fire reps today with the P320 and an index card placed at 10 ft with a 3/8 inch black dot drawn in the center. Light is fairly low to make me work harder.

The major thing I noticed is the front sight dropping slightly when I pull the trigger on my strong hand, not so much my off hand. Keep telling myself to go slow. The front sight is slanted down a bit so I haven't tried the "dime on the sight" test with this one.

Wondering what others think of the trigger pull as the sights are starting to rise from breathing which I saw in a trainer's video recently...

I can't speak for the others but I've been easing back into it for a few weeks.
I'm planning to shoot carry optics this year so my dry fire has been focused on the basics with that gun.

I took a long break from dry fire after nationals

 

[Coach]

Still on a long break since Nationals.

Pretty sure I'me leading the group in term of length of my break since I did dry practice.

Probably.

I might start tomorrow.

For a guy that has stated that he has some extra time right now.
Why is this the case?
Not being a dick really interested in the reason.
I'm having trouble fitting it back in the schedule
The time is there,but I'm finding it easy to do something else. I've got alot to do

Time has never been a problem for dry fire for me. Fifteen minutes is something I could find whenever. I just don't feel like doing it. I am lazy.

Fair enough
I have good intentions
Then get distracted doing other things that need doing.
Then I end up out of time or motivstion

I may actually be busier now than I was when I was working full time. It's weird how that happens.
