I hope anyone who sees this actually realizes how incredibly valuable this information is... You were just handed the golden fucking key to success on a silver platter, all you have to do is take it and use it!

[@danielllewellyn5720]

Thanks for the great insight.

[@danilojones7193]

Solid performance love it

[@joec2442]

Very nice, the only thing I can relate this to is my dry fire training. My timer does not work at an indoor range with many shooters. No other options in my area.

[@DaveSmith-cp5kj]

One option is to use a countdown timer. Complete the drill before the beep. Your performance is established by how consistently you can meet a minimum standard. Raise the standard as you improve. This is how I do it. I am only as good as my worst time.

[@yawenclaudio5756]

This is really good

[@thelastjohnwayne]

With the price of Ammo I think that various styles dry fire can be very helpful

[@ortiz12986]

Hey bill what type of eyes are you running? Thanks.

[@tap-racktactical5801]

Chris Ortiz those are Oakleys SI Ballistics I think

[@SabreTV]

Good crack, Bill.

[@kananisha]

I wish my department bought ammo, I'd be able to shoot more

[@deank5649]

You gotta do it yourself brotha. My department gives 50 rounds a year but i shoot at least 15K. Your life is worth it.

[@DaveSmith-cp5kj]

Get into handloading. Get a bunch of like minded guys together and pool money and time together to make cheap practice ammo. Only takes an hour to produce ~700 rounds. Not a big time pit.
Alternatively, buy a gas blowback airsoft gun. Lots of practice at home. Force on force value too.

[@tacostwowheels4934]
