I do the majority of my practice with dry fire, but I realized on the way home tonight that it had been a few weeks since I’d done any real live fire practice. Now dry fire is absolutely the best way to practice if you want to learn quickly and refine your technique, but it … Continue Reading →
To a certain extent, the world of shooting is built on how well people do on standard courses of fire.

A common saying in the gun world is that if you have a choice between a $500 gun and a $1,000 gun, you should get the $500 gun and put the rest into training and ammo. This is true to a point, but the majority of training and practice that gets done at ranges across … Continue Reading →
One of the most common problems in shooting is low-left groups for right handers. It’s normally caused by a combination of anticipating recoil and/or “sympathetic squeeze.” Basically, it’s not always easy to press the trigger without squeezing the rest of the fingers, the thumb, and flexing the wrist at the same time.
