Dry Practice Misconceptions - Updated 01-22-19

Sure, Bill. Thanks for the kind words!

Thank you!!!!

To clarify how I do it, in practice first. I still do a combo of Ernest's press out and an index draw, once I can see the gun in my peripheral vision I start prepping the trigger until I hit extension. In a match on a clear target at 10yds or under I'm on the trigger as soon as the gun is level out of the holster. If that qualifies to you as breaking the rule, then I am, but for me it doesn't. If it's a partial, or has a no shoot around it, I wait until I see the sights. In a force on force scenario I wait until I'm on target pressing the gun out. I change what I'm doing based on target presented. Which is what my "I train more than just draw and shoot" comment was supposed to mean. And I would expect, based on my exposure to other shooters that they do similar.

I look forward to the next time we shoot together, then. Because I definitely want to see how you make a conscious precise decision about when to access the trigger when drawing at full speed to different types of targets under stress. That seems like a pretty serious Hick's Law problem to me.

as do I, and I'm totally willing to be told I'm out to lunch.

I don't hate your post. As a matter of fact I totally agree with it.

Whether you should die, well I'm up in the air about that.

#3 I've been told this also . (pad only)

I get better groups using more finger.

Trigger Reset- in the beginning I didn't really know what you guys are talking about.

When I shoot a revolver or a TDA Pistol I'm ready to go during recoil.
I shoot only as fast as my sights line up. So far I never had a short stroke.
I must be doing something right if I shoot nice groups.

Wow, I started reading this thread because I thought it was about dry fire??????

By the way, the very first post was money! JC, you nailed it and I may have to steal the whole thing.

How did the whole thread go down the hole of a combo of trigger reset and press out technique? Kind of funny from where I sit

Most likely, because most dry fire discussions on PF are pretty simplistic, compared to what is being discussed and practiced by those on Enos and other USPSA oriented forums.
