Guns don't kill people. People kill people. Guns are just object and it takes thousands of hours to master them. Start training now. Put on your calendar 15 minutes of dry fire once a week. Your life, your family, your country is counting on you and your ability to use arms.

Practice reloads, drawing, and sight alignment.

You can do all this training for free at home.

No excuses, get after it.

Air soft transitions over pretty well also, and you can practice that in the house too.

Yes. Sight picture, trigger pull, eye position, ect all transition over.

Get a few mags and some pouches so you can practice reloads too.

One place I did training used Air Soft for force-on-force training. I never tried it but might be a good militia weekend activity.

I use it mostly for teaching WWII style point shooting, and to practice shooting from retention. Sometimes my wife and I will use them to practice clearing the house in a red vs blue. Still good for mechanics though if you can't get outside.

How did you get wife to like guns?

Been dryfiring like crazy for the past 2 months. Finally got a good routine going instead of just doing it here and there. I need to do way more rifle though. For anyone thinking of starting grab one of the competition dryfire books like Refinement and Repetition or Stoeger's Dryfire Reloaded.

Buy a laser target system. They are great for training. I have one set up in my basement

I've been meaning to try the new Better than the simple draw and shoot, back up 5 yards, repeat that I do now.

Looking at a training aid like a Mantix too, I hate dry fire but cannot consume ammo they way I did in years past. I have Dry Fire and Dry Fire Fit training cards that I bought and never opened.

I've got the Mantix and it's not bad. I find myself using it less and less though. Usually I point toward a dot on a white wall and you know if you sights/dot is moving on trigger press.

You ever watch Bob Vogel do the qualification course? He's great. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=py1WSRpcl6E&t=22s

Damn I'm not passing that qualification haha.

So the Mantix is just ok? I keep seeing reviewers talk about it like it's a miracle worker.

I don't want to trash it because I've used it 200x it says and the data is cool. I just think the bottom line is the gun is still when you pull the trigger and you can do that with just a white wall. Biggest thing for me is doing marksmanship work every single time I practice dry fire even if it's only 3 minutes. It's it's really noticeable drop when I stop doing that for a month.

For $100 it's worth a try though. They completely changed their models since I've gotten mine.

I thought dryfire ruined your weapon?

Only 1911's

Striker fired or rim fired, modern hammer fired guns are perfectly fine to dry fire. Use a snap cap if you've got a striker fired gun and you'll be alright.

I’ve dry fired my 1911’s thousands on times with no issues.
