I have started doing dry fire practice over the past few days. Definitely good stuff. I have figured out a few things and am getting my overall concealed carry system sorted out. While K over at Combat Studies Group has some interesting ideas to fill a few sessions I am sort of flying fast and loose without an overall plan. Suspect I will end up with something cyclical. Will figure it out soon enough; if I recall there is a good book on dry fire training on my Amazon wish list.
Need to figure out the shooting scene here. My goal is to conduct dry fire training not less than 6 days a week and live fire training monthly. Would like bi weekly better but I am not sure if that is realistic right now. Will have a better idea once I figure out the logistics of shooting here and some other stuff. Certainly monthly is realistic.
I discovered the TV show Longmire and it is pretty cool. A contemporary Western that has some of the good parts of those old shows without being a cheese throwback.
Anyway that stuff was all going on and all of a sudden I realized it was after midnight and I hadn't posted anything today. Now I'm off to bed.

I used to instruct down there in your new area. If you have any questions regarding the gun community down there, I would be happy to help in any way I can. Just drop me an email..
Thanks, WILCO

Ryan, For even more in-depth dry-fire practice, check out Mike Seeklander's book "Your Competition Handgun Training Program." While it is geared towards IPSC/IDPA practice, the crossover for combative handgun dry-fire is huge. As I like to point out to people in classes, while you don't learn tactics in IDPA, no one has better pure gunhandling than a skilled competitive shooter.

One of the best competitive rifle shooters I know hardly ever fires live ammunition in practice sessions anymore. But he dry fires obsessively. Every day, all positions. Works for him, is all I can tell you.
He is also a big proponent of weight training to build upper body strength so as to hold the rifle in position better.
Your mileage may vary, but I doubt it.

Liking Longmire, too!

John Mosby, I think that is the same book. It was one you mentioned awhile back. Regardless it's now on the wish list and will be purchased promptly. Thanks for the comment.
H, Interesting.
Armedlaughing, Yeah that's a good show.
I know a competitive shooter who practices by watching westerns and action movies and dry fires extensively and daily by shooting snap cap dry fire at the cinematic bad guys with his competition battery of weapons, multiple days per week.
Besides being able to dump 26 rounds from 4 weapons on one stage in under 12 seconds with zero misses, he's also won world overall twice. And he's your age, give or take.
Ain't nothing wrong with dry fire to polish your skills, at a net expense of $0.00 per session.

Aesop, Interesting and worth thinking about.
