I practice dry firing in my home (occasionally with a rifle using snap caps), but more often with Laserlyte's "blue gun" and laser activated electronic targets. I move them around my living room and practice from 3 ft to 7 yards. I try to consciously keep my gun pointed at the floor when I am not on target, especially when moving from one spot in my house to another. This way, I am ingraining the thought "keep the gun pointed in a safe direction" (which is the corollary to "keep it pointed down range" since, when out hunting or practicing tactical shooting, there isn't always a "downrange".
