Key insights
💪 Proper grip during dry fire practice is crucial to prevent the gun from behaving differently when shooting live ammunition.
📱 Using a timer or app on your phone can be a helpful tool for practicing dry-fire drills.
🔫 "The gun you know as fast as you can like you would in a match ending in a sight picture without pressing the trigger or doing anything like that."
💥 The key to a successful dry-fire grip is to ensure that your sight goes directly to the spot you want to hit without any adjustments or corrections.
🔫 The support hand's role is to press the trigger straight without any sympathetic movement from the rest of the hand, preventing the gun from recoiling.
🎯 Insight: The importance of practicing the grip and sight picture in dry-fire training.
👀 "The grip pressures I use and is the dot going to or dot or site going to the spot."
🎯 Developing positive habits in dry-fire practice, such as a proper grip and sight alignment, can help ingraining muscle memory and improve shooting accuracy.

I needed this video. I think last night at my match I wasn’t gripping hard enough in the early stages.

Great series of videos on dry Fire. Very helpful. Drawing to index and not pulling the trigger, but focusing on index, grip integrity (using a live fire grip), and getting there sooner, has been very helpful for me. In dry Fire I’m doing 0.8-1.0 sec pars. It’s always interesting to me how live fire draws tend to be noticeably slower. I’ve done a 0.98s at 7 yards, but when I’m running transition drills for example, I’m happy to see 1.35s draws 😊. If I do draws to pairs or a Bill Drill my draws to first shot typically are in the low 1.teens range, unless I really push into speed mode at which point accuracy tends to suffer. Is it a mental thing? Thoughts?

Joel, what’s your buddy’s name/business that produces the optic occlusion cover that you use?
