    One, zero, zero, zero, if that helps.

    Luger, try going to a lot of weak hand dry firing. That helped me bunches.

    I do frequently, in dry and life fire. It`s about 40% with both hands, 40% strong hand only with the support hand holding my flashlight and 20% support hand only.
    If guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns.

    You're missing a 0. It's 1,000 Days of dry fire. I just looked it up yesterday and found it, requested to join, and they accepted me.

    I like this.
    I've been holding after the hammer-drop for longer periods during both live-fire and dry work, and I've seen good results. But this takes it to a whole new level.
    Will follow this philosophy to test.

Is this done to enhance grip strength in lieu of a "captains of crush" workout?
    I worked on a (dry fire) holding drill that definately helped my offhand scores in Service Rifle. Maybe the same concept.

    I've been teaching for years and advocating dry fire for years. There are tons of people out there trying to find new and interesting ways to dry fire. There are no short cuts or ways to make dry fire more interesting. All of the pros do it the same boring way and that should be an indicator.

    Years later I found Steve Anderson's, Book: Refinement and Repetition. I half way followed his routine and went from B Class to Master Class in Production in less than a year. During that year, I actually shot less than I had in the past, but had the most improvement. There are more than a few people that are Grand Masters because of his book. His book is currently sold out but should be available in the near future. http://www.andersonshooting.com/prod...nd-repetition/

    10 reps, 1 min crush grip; my forearms are on fire. Think I'll start at 30 sec., 6th rep and FS was pretty shaky.

    I like it though, should really help with my 50y shots and extended holds.

    Maybe a bit of this: http://www.wisdomination.com/screw-m...is-discipline/

    Followed by this: http://www.wisdomination.com/practical-discipline/

    Also, there are bunch of systems out there designed to make dry practice more interesting, especially in the realm of laser trainers. The problem is that I can't find anyone who shoots well who actually uses them. There are all kinds of non-shooting internet gun gurus who extol them but I don't see any nationally ranked shooters who do.

    I am now subscribing to this thread. The links and suggestions look very useful.
