    Dry fire problem

    Does anyone here ever dryfire and when you look at your watch your surprised that 1-2 hours has passed by. I think it may be addicting to dry fire and to get that smooth roll through on a trigger. Anyone else here have that same addiction

    Not 1-2 hours, but 20-30 mins sometimes. Guitar 🎸 practice is what skews time for me.

      Nope not me. I enjoy my guns. I do dry-fire at times. I prefer to go to the range and spend time there. After a hundred or so rounds and as my grip diminishes it tells me that it is time to go home. No need to watch the clock there. I can spend a couple of hours at the range.

        I dry fire at least 5:1 compared to live fire. Spend about 20-30 mins per session before I start to get sloppy. I wish I did more.

        Bottom line is you can get a lot of proficiency gains for free without a single round down range.

          I'll keep a gun on the couch by me while watching TV and every 20 min or so pick one up and dry fire for 5 minutes-- over a few hour time period that is a decent amount of practice for me.

          I also keep a thick rubber band sitting on the couch that I use to get the feeling of pulling my trigger finger straight back. I link the rubber band to my index finger on each hand and just pull back as straight as I can on the rubber band with my trigger finger to mimic a straight back trigger pull-- I find myself doing that a lot more than actual dry firing. Very easy to do while watching a movie!!

            Back when I shot USPSA religiously, I spent lots of hours dry firing, drawing-fast sight acquisition, practicing quick reloads and footwork. 1-2 hours will go by quick.
