    on a serious note...

    and feel free to flame me as you'd like.

    I just never dry fire cause that is boring ass shit.

    Granted I'm surrounded by 1000's of acres of farmland and can step outside and plink anytime.. but if couldn't

    well.... I'd say my own "quarantine deadliness" as it were would be kept more current with adding more pull ups, burpees and sprints than doing a thousand dry reps a day of draws or reloads.


    So yea if you're of a reasonable proficiency, 2-4 weeks of no range time isnt' going to turn you into hamburger helper hands next time you grab a piece imo.

    I make ammo and hunt and fish. My on season is usually more fall and winter here, the rest of the year is more labor intensive taking care of animals and mowing and fixing equipment that I need to keep going. I also spend a lot of time seeing how I can minimize any movement or energy that isn't needed. I look at drawing and shooting more like playing guitar or drums. If you watch people play very fast and technical, it looks like they are barely moving because they have eliminated any motion that isn't needed. I break down those movements individually into steps and keep repeating, just like playing guitar.

    I'm sitting at home ordering stuff online to stimulate the economy.

    And for some of you folks printing special targets for dry fire. Don't you have light switches. Said in a curmudgeonly way.

    Wow! I am counting on my range in Missoula staying open. Shooting is something we can do by ourselves.

    Dry practice can get pretty boring. I vary mine by using a timer to work on presentation speed and running to different corners in my house and pointing in. Use your imagination.
