TreblePlink Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 I'm a lowly middle-B limited shooter, and over the last year I seemed to have reached a development plateau - I needed a boost. I've been through a couple of two-day “lots-of-shooting” classes with famous trainers, and dryfire lessons looked interesting. Steve had posted his availability on this forum – offering dryfire “tune ups” at very reasonable cost, and the drive from my home in Kentucky would be a modest road trip. I opted for a full Saturday. ... This was a few months ago, and I've been a slacker. I initially did do 30 minutes a day per Steve's prescription - for about 3 weeks, now I'm only doing it sporadically. BUT I'm here to tell you, (and nobody was more surprised than me) it works. Just this little bit, after a couple of months has made a noticeable difference. My draw was faster when I left Steve's basement; but my splits are now faster, and I recently shot some match stages with hit factors never before achieved. I'm a believer! Now if I can just repent from slackerdom and do more dry-fire! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too am a believer in Steve's dry fire program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Anderson Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 The best thing to do is to set a schedule and just do it. As i have stated many times, your biggest breakthroughs will come on the days you don't want to be practicing. Reluctant practice carries a different mindset for some reason. Like you're just observing and not trying so damn hard... Nice article. Who else has a drumset in the dry fire dojo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenG Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Yeah, I'm going to make a commitment to practice on some sort of schedule. I think the problem in the past is that I had no direction as to what to practice. I just ordered some guy's book on some drills. we will see...

theycallmeingot Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 i thought your story sounded familiar. Front Sight! i read that too, and it got me wishing that my brother would get done with Steve Anderson's book so I can borrow it. I used to dry fire at the wall just to see sight movement and practice trigger control. It wasn't until I glanced at Steve's book that I realized what people actually mean when they say "dry fire practice." I had no idea pressing a non-reset trigger at pieces of paper would help very much. As a low B, your article definitely got me thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Anderson Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Some say: When his eyes photograph red, the camera is working just fine. SA btw, the drum set isn't really for me, you just couldn't see the Marshall half-stack in the photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 btw, the drum set isn't really for me, you just couldn't see the Marshall half-stack in the photo. I think I just saw a recent video with you on the drums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Anderson Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 I had to keep playing because the drums must NEVER stop. If the drums stop... There will be a Bass solo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
