So, I have a confession to make : I suck! I went to the range the other day to introduce a bunch of newbies to shooting. We all had a good time, no safety violations occurred (my primary concern), and we put a bunch of ammo downrange. Good day. The embarassing part came when I went to shoot myself - all of my groups were low and left, again! With my G19 and my G17, my 2 "go-to" pistols. I did respectably with my 1911 and my G26, but still only "respectably" - it didn't help that the guy next to me's AR-15 muzzle brake was putting hot gas in my face every couple seconds but my groups were not that hot.
A lot of this comes from the fact that my range time has dropped drastically since moving from Oregon to New England. Some of it is my own laziness but mostly my schedule has been quite demanding. I do, however, still dry fire, and do so with enough regularity that I haven't forgotten everything I've ever learned...
That said, what do you all do for dry fire? I have read Todd's drills before ( and others), but what kinds of mistakes are you looking to correct/positive things to reinforce during this time? I know that I particularly have a hard time figuring out what to make of my sight picture on my Glocks and how to discover mistakes with no immediate feedback of rounds on paper. Any tips to help improve the productivity of my dry firing would be appreciated.
