Dry fire : Who is getting it done?

[cedartop]

when I would shoot at niles in the winter, and a couple of indoor "night" matches out east, I'd take a towel and bottle of water.... get the towl damp and wipe the bottom of your shoes. could usually get through a stage before they got so dry/dirty again they'd become slick.

Bend of the River? That is where I am shooting indoors this winter.

BOR? Yeah, that's a little far from Indy for a weekly practice match...

Have you guys seen the vids from Chris Keen in Ohio? They shoot an indoor practice match once a week. I've never been to an indoor range here in Indy but I wonder if we could do such a thing around here? IMO, there is no substitute for live fire.

Back when it was still just IPSC (pre-USPSA), they used to shoot regularly at the Shootin' Match in Terre Haute (it's not there anymore). So it's doable. I would wager that it was more amenable to the expectations of shooters of that vintage than it might be today, though. The courses of fire would naturally be somewhat more limited in scope and movement than what has become the norm in USPSA.

it's better than nothing
I think a weeknight evening would be great

Yes, if you watch Chris's videos, they run three COF on the same course. They move you back or change start positions on each different start.

I understand it's not going to be one of Coach's rifle range courses of fire, but it beats sitting in your favorite chair all winter with a glass of wine and the lights down low, lubing your gun.

I've been shooting indoor matches for three weekends in a row. Had to travel a little.
Dayton, Ohio - Miamisburg
Niles, Michigan- Bend of the River
Detroit, Michigan - Top Gun
Rockfort, Illinois - Pinetree Pistol Club for the Winter Indoor IPSC Tournament

I couldn't wait all winter to start shooting...

Going to Florida in a week for the Florida Open...

Bought an licensed M&P airsoft replica. It is exactly the same, grips, sights, even about the same weight. Trigger is heavier than my APEX competition set-up, and it is a non blow back version, but I really like it. I made a steel plate rack, and a bucnh of target holders. Been shooting at least once a week. I can notice a difference in my shooting for sure. With the extra mag I can even practice live reloads.

If you ever want the blowback version. I have one and it is pretty decent. Be prepared for about 2 weeks shipping. I believe it comes from Japan.

I really thought about dryfire last night..


That is all for now

 

[BillD]

It was too cold in the garage to dryfire when I got home last night so I set up one target in the living room. I think I might get my gun out tonight.

Not bad, I've only got a major to shoot in 31 days.

 

[smith52]

I did some live fire indoors last night, was not the best but better than nothing. Figured out some things I need to spend some more time on in dry fire.

 

[jakemartens]

I got the single stack out last night and did some mag changes while watching TV.
That hole is small

So far I have been dry firing every night for about 10 min at a USPSA target and been shooting at the range 3 times a week for an average of 300 rounds a week. Making a lot of progress but I want to do allot better than last year...
