-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, SIRT, CoolFire, T4M Paintball Trainer, or other inert training tools that we’ll cover

You can do dry fire draw strokes 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 Dry Fire Cord (which you'll get) or 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 or striker fired

Almost all centerfire pistols that use a hammer need Dry Fire Cord or a snap cap to do high volume dry fire training. This will do less wear and tear on your pistol than doing live fire.

-Will the Automatic Accuracy System work with revolvers?

Answer: Absolutely.  The terminology 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.

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

Answer: Probably not.  The Automatic Accuracy System 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 Automatic Accuracy System isn’t to teach technique, it’s to help you take the best technique that you already know and help you upregulate your vision, balance, and hand-eye coordination so that you can perform dramatically better under stress.

-I’m a newbie shooter. Will The Automatic Accuracy System work for me?

-I’m a Special Forces firearms instructor at the Special Warfare Center and School. How in the heck The Automatic Accuracy System help a bad ass like me?

Answer: The Automatic Accuracy System 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, the increased cognitive load over normal, boring dry fire drills, and the multifaceted approach means that your mind will get enough variety to be stimulated and for growth to keep happening.

The Automatic Accuracy System 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.  That being said, you can

This means that if you’ve trained at high end national schools like Gunsite, DARC, Mid-South, T1G, Suarez, Sig, ICE, Blackwater/Xe/Academi, Costa Ludas, Thunder Ranch, Frontsight, or any of the thousands of elite local trainers across the country, the Automatic Accuracy System will give the skills you've got a SERIOUS boost.  Put another way...what they were doing was helping you maximize software.  Automatic Accuracy is going to upgrade your CPU and RAM so that you can run that software under load without lag and faster than you thought possible.

Fitness level

-I’m in horrible shape. Will The Automatic Accuracy System still work for me?

-I’ve got nerve/muscle issues that cause the shakes. Will The Automatic Accuracy System work for me?

-I’m a world champion fitness guru. Will your Automatic Accuracy System work for me?

-I have a non-functional/amputated limb. Will your Automatic Accuracy System work for me?

Answer: Yes.  The Automatic Accuracy System is not dogmatic and users can alter the drills so that they are more or less challenging without compromising the benefits of the drills.

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 balance, vision, and hand-eye coordination may not be as great as if you were in the best shape of your life, but the drills WILL still help you improve those areas and shoot better.

Safety

-Is The Automatic Accuracy System 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 Tactical Vision Training Pencils, you could choke, get indigestion, or some other crazy problem. You could fall over doing one of the balance drills and break your neck. I’m not joking with these examples—simply highlighting how warped our society has become in regards to “safety” and blame. In short, guns are effective because are dangerous tools.  We will give you and suggest tools to make the training as safe as possible, but if absolute safety is a concern, you probably shouldn’t buy the training.

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.

-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 Automatic Accuracy System 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), Tactical Pencil drills and Vision Bottle drills are all ways that you can do firearms training on ANY commercial airline flight in the world—or even while you’re going through airport security.
