Shoot 2x Faster In The Next 21 Days

-Won’t Dry Fire Hurt My Gun?

Answer: Dry fire is the manipulation of a firearm with no live ammo present. You can do it with your carry gun, a blue gun, an airsoft gun, or other inert training tools that we’ll cover in lesson 1.

You can do dry fire drawstrokes all day long and you don't have to press the trigger a single time. 

You can practice transitions between targets, acquiring your sights, and other visual drills without ever having to press the trigger.

You can practice reloads and malfunction drills (tap, rack, assess) without ever having to press the trigger.

But let's move on to what you were thinking of...dry fire drills where you press the trigger and the hammer or striker moves forward.

MANY modern defensive pistols specifically say in the manual that you can dry fire them without a snap cap. Others don't say, but when you call the 1-800 number on the front cover, they'll tell you whether it's fine and whether or not it's fine for high volume dry fire or just low volume dry fire.

Here's a general rule. If you use a snap cap that has a surface for the firing pin to strike, you can dry fire ANY firearm regardless of whether it's hammer fired, striker fired, center fire, or rimfire.

There are some rimfires that specifically say in the manual that you can dry fire them. That's rare. But ALL can be dry fired with a snap cap inserted or spent brass. The snap caps won't last real long, but you can do it. Generally, .22s aren't the guns that you'd dry fire for self defense practice.

Almost all centerfire pistols that use a hammer need a snap cap to do high volume dry fire training. Some will say it's OK, but that's rare. Using a snap cap with a surface for the firing pin to hit will do less wear and tear on your pistol than doing live fire.

Most striker fired pistols will say in the manual that it's OK to dry fire them without a snap cap. Even so, I recommend using a snap cap with a surface for the firing pin to hit.

-Will 21 Day Alpha-Shooter work with revolvers?

Answer: The terminology used in The 21 Day Alpha-Shooter is directed towards semi-automatic firearms shooters because that is what most people carry for self-defense purposes. Again, since the program is fundamental and not dogmatic, they will work for revolvers as well as they work for semi-automatics. A few of the drills won’t be applicable (like malfunction drills) but the majority will be.

-I’ve trained with the best instructor at the best school in the world. Are you going to try to change my technique?

Answer: No. The 21 Day Alpha-Shooter will not replace current techniques that you have. They are not dogmatic and if you’d compare them to a country, they’d most resemble Switzerland–everyone gets along with Switzerland.

The purpose of The 21 Day Alpha-Shooter isn’t to teach technique, it’s to help you take the best technique that you already know and help you develop muscle memory so that you can execute solid fundamentals (rather than spraying and praying) under stress.

-I’m a newbie shooter. Will The 21 Day Alpha-Shooter work for me?

-I’m a Special Forces firearms instructor at the Special Warfare Center and School. How in the heck The 21 Day Alpha-Shooter help a bad ass like me?

Answer: The 21 Day Alpha-Shooter will help any shooter who wants to improve their speed, accuracy, and precision. One problem with traditional dry fire training is that if you do the same dry fire training all the time, the mind learns to filter it out and the neural pathways don’t translate over to live fire.

The variety of exercises you’ll get and the multifaceted approach means that your mind will get enough variety to be stimulated and for growth to keep happening.

The 21 Day Alpha-Shooter is designed to work best after a shooter has received SOME instruction from a qualified instructor…preferably an NRA, law enforcement, or military instructor with proper emphasis on safety and correct form.

This means that if you’ve trained at high end national schools like Frontsight, Gunsite, Suarez, Sig, ICE, Blackwater/Xe/Academi, Costa Ludas, Thunder Ranch, or any of the thousands of elite local trainers across the country, these cards will help drive home the lessons you paid to learn. Put another way, they’ll convert the techniques that you paid to learn and know in your head into skills that you can actually depend on under stress.

Fitness level

-I’m in horrible shape. Will 21 Day Alpha-Shooter still work for me?

-I’ve got nerve/muscle issues that cause the shakes. Will 21 Day Alpha-Shooter work for me?

-I’m a world champion fitness guru. Will your 21 Day Alpha-Shooter and Dry Fire Training Cards work for me?

-I have a non-functional/amputated limb. Will your 21 Day Alpha-Shooter work for me?

Answer: The 21 Day Alpha-Shooter is not dogmatic and users can alter the drills so that they are more or less challenging without compromising the benefits of the drills. As you find drills that work particularly good for you, I’d ask that you email them to me so that I can share them with others.

Every single person is going to have a performance ceiling. If you’ve got the shakes or are in your 80s and out of shape, your groups won’t be as fast, tight, and accurate as if you were in the best shape of your life, but the drills WILL still help you shoot better.

A lot of shooters that I know (my 77 year old mother included) can’t shoot as much as they like anymore because of hand and wrist pain, but still view their firearms as a primary self-defense tool. Dry fire is a perfect tool for people in this situation.

Safety

-Is 21 Day Alpha-Shooter safe?

-Won’t I put a hole in my TV if I do dry fire?

Answer: In this day and age, nothing is safe. If you try to eat The 21 Day Alpha-Shooter, you could choke, get indigestion, or some other crazy problem. You could get a paper cut from your free Dry Fire Training Cards. You could get carpel tunnel syndrome getting to an email with your training. If you roll a card up, you could probably shove it in your ear and do some pretty good damage. I’m not joking with these examples—simply highlighting how warped our society has become in regards to “safety” and blame. In short, they’re not safe and if that’s a concern, you probably shouldn’t buy them.

Using The 21 Day Alpha-Shooter is another matter. By definition, dry fire training is responsible training with a weapon platform without any ammunition present or training, an inert weapon platform, or with a simulated weapon platform. You can still get hurt if you fall on it, trip and fall while doing a drill, etc.

But, if you have a negligent discharge during your training, then you weren’t doing dry fire. Dry fire is responsible training with a weapon platform without any ammunition present, an inert weapon platform, or training with a simulated weapon platform. If a live round of ammunition gets introduced into the mix, it is not dry fire and it is not an accident—it’s negligence and it’s your responsibility to keep it from happening.

When you join The 21 Day Alpha-Shooter, I’ll share a handful of quick resources with you for safer dry fire training, but it’s important to remember that the purpose of a firearm is to project massive kinetic force and penetrate objects at a distance and anything you do with a firearm includes a significant amount of risk.

-Will you sell these to kids under 18/21?

Answer: Adults who own firearms should have all firearms in their house secured so that unauthorized users can’t access them. It is their choice and responsibility, not mine or the cards, to determine who has access to the firearms. That being said, the drills can be done with inert training platforms like blue guns, SIRTs, or even kinetic platforms like airsoft (with the approval and supervision of the parent).

In addition, once you’ve done the drills for real and can see yourself doing the drill in your mind, The 21 Day Alpha-Shooter can be used for mental rehearsal without any platform whatsoever—just by going through the drills in your head. In fact, mental imagery (without physical movement) is a way that you can do firearms training on ANY commercial airline flight in the world—or even while you’re going through airport security…that is, until they start arresting people for thought crimes.
