Many times we find that getting to the shooting range can be a hassle, may it be the weather, finances, range limitations, etc. Â There is a way you can stay on top of your game when you aren’t able to get out and shoot, and only cost you a few dollars.
Something that I make time to do every day is “dry fire.” I set aside 15-30 minutes a day to practice a few “realistic” drills no matter if I hit the range our not.
Keeping the targets inside of the door keep them out-of-the-way until you need it.
Here is a picture of one of my doors in my house that I set up for precision and speed drills.
I start with a warm-up 10 feet away only engaging “dry” the head target from the draw while on the clock for 20 repetitions, progressively working back to 25 feet and incorporating movements, turns, and reloads. Â The small targets are primarily for precision. Â I want to draw, acquire the target/sight, and squeeze in under 1.9 seconds. Â Anything under 2 seconds is a good goal to shoot for, but 1.5 is where you want to be. Â I say 1.5 because the average time it takes an attacker to cover 20 feet is 1.57 seconds.
