Hard to believe I just got this for FREE!!!! Thank You Bill...... AMAZING INFO!
A lot of good information. The one piece I thought was ingenious was the cardboard at the breachface to keep an active trigger. I always hated faking multiple shots with a dead trigger.
I use a metronome because it allows me to break each action into components. For example, I am running the metronome at 160 beats/minute and find it takes 6 clicks to (consistently) draw from concealment, present, and fire. I can try to "shift beats" by rushing one part (say, the draw) and spend one more beat smoothing out the presentation. Once the presentation is sufficiently smooth, I can start speeding that up. When I can no longer get any faster at the current metronome setting, I increase by 10 bpm, find my comfort zone, and start speeding up again. One side effect--whether it is good or bad I'll leave up to you--is that I speed up my actions in order to complete the rep on a click.
I don't know if you are using a weighted magazine, but I filled one with ball-bearings to simulate a loaded gun. I also wear weights on my arms (currently at 4 1/2 lbs. each)--the danger there is that I have to occasionally practice without the weights or else deliberately slow down in order to avoid bringing the gun up at an uncontrollable speed and hitting myself in the face in live fire.
Metronome is a must for both dry and live fire drills. Helps you subconsciously speed up without knowing it
That is a fantastic idea. Can't believe I never thought about this!
16:44 For rifle drills, you can just leave the bolt locked to the rear. Doing so keeps the hammer off the sear and disconnector and lets you manipulate both the trigger and selector as you would on a live gun.
Well thought out program. Thanks for sharing.
What a GREAT VIDEO! Thank you!
Thanks for the knowledge
So good, yet so angry.
Nothing like Chuck
What phone app shot timer do you use?
I dry fire religious, but I also use GBB pistols that are the same as my Duty gun for work to get feed back am I the only one doing that? I saw Travis Haley does it just don't see guys in our line of work stating it as a valid training tool.
What shot timer app did you use. ??
Is your holster a level 2 or a level 3?
What iPhone timer app?
handsome and smart, Bill's got the whole package
I agree, but you just made it weird with the handsome comment.....
haha see that. and im the one that made it weird
+Jerry Tiernan I was just trying to be funny and it goes to fucking....
he called a man handsome. what do you expect?
Jerry Tiernan Bill is not just handsome. He is funny, charming, and has soft hands! And lets not forget those perfectly formed pectorals which I am sure had developed a sweaty sheen after about 10 speed reloads!
How do you come out of a skills plateau? I have reached a point at 25 yards I have been hitting a fist sized target with a quick cadence fire rate and have evolved my current systems into newer optical setups in particular RMR equipped handguns. I have been doing the same stuff I did when I was active duty (shooting while moving, lateral, forward, rearward, and oblique movements) and found that I am not hitting any new challenges.
go shoot a match USPSA or IDPA and start hitting up force on force classes to pressure test you abilities
Great stuff, Bill. What trigger is that?
Overwatch Precision
Cool, thanks.
Bill needs to learn what "short" means... ;)
Hahaha What else did you have to do anyway?
you cant rush perfection haha
I was a bit sad when he said short I was very happy when it ended up being near 20 mins. I could listen/watch him all day long. Thanks for making these videos Bill
Two quick questions: (1) At approx the 10:30 mark, your pistol comes out of the rig slightly out of battery. Not sure if you noticed or had it that way on purpose for some reason, but a heads up nontheless. Would hate for that to be the case while on duty. And (2) can you speak to strategies or specific timers that may work better when a busy indoor range is our only option for shooting drills? Shot timers picking up everyone elses shooting defeats the point. Any advice or particular timers that work better in that environment?
Did you watch the whole video?
Ha! Admittedly, no I did not.
Out of battery is explained. Most good timers will allow you to set the sensitivity level so they only pick up your shots, even with shooters alongside. If that doesn't work, a shooting buddy can buzz you and watch for the time of your shots and then just note them.
William Sack if you think his gun is accidentally out of battery you obviously don't do enough dry practice...
Couldn't this cause training scars pulling the out of battery trigger?
Jayesh Patel no.
Primary & Secondary how would you balance immediate action with follow through in dryfire?
Jayesh Patel using multiple possible triggers to instigate that action
Primary & Secondary where can I learn more?
Awesome video. Check out DryFireMag. I bought mine for $90 and it simulates trigger action really well for dry fire. Not sure about the rifle though.
Have one. Its ok.
@@PrimaryAndSecondary It's something... Still need a reload solution.
