    What is Your Most Perishable Skill?

    I haven’t been able to shoot as much as I would like lately. Usually at times like this I find my general slow speed marksmanship isn’t affected much, but my ability to control my flinch and trigger on longer strings of time pressured fire goes into the toilet.

    Examples:

    Dot Torture: no problem.

    Supertest: really challenging to keep on paper once the timer starts.

    Shooting in general is very perishable, if I don't dry fire for a few days my ability to do basic things like get a nice index, grip, or complete a clean reload go straight down the toilet.

    Glock shooting. I don't know why but I can take months off from LEM or DA/SA guns and not lose much but if a take a week off from Glock for something else I'm ruined.

    Trigger control. If you can't shoot, continue to dryfire. You'll be glad you did.

    Great precision, esp longer ranges. Trigger trigger trigger. I see that in other friends I shoot with too.

    Trigger control. I would say "Especially with Glocks," but that's basically almost all I shoot so it's hard to say. but yeah, trigger control.

    Trigger control followed by speed reloads.
