Guys:
Very much like Bob. Dry fire three times a week but not more than 30 minutes per session. Live fire twice a week for about two hours per session. And then a match of some sort two or three weekends a month. Practices are way more fun and way less expensive than competing.
I imagine dry firing has become more popular due to the lack of ammunition and components. My advice for guys who want to dry fire is to have some really well defined goals and a means of assessing them while dry firing. There are different dry fire drills that are used for different purposes. Some enhance holding ability, others speed, and all of them enhance position development. I find about 20 minutes of dry firing and my fun meter has been pegged. In addition, the law of diminishing returns sets in real fast.
Who else out there did their practice this week?
