Balakay Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 (edited) After practicing without any direction, I finally decided to get serious about training and started doing Mike Seeklander's competition handgun training. My question is about the stepping draw and pivoting draw drills. Am I really supposed to draw 30+ repetitions towards each number of the imaginary clock ? That is over 720 draws for 2 drills!!! Between the reps and resetting the par times, it took me over an hour to get through these. Comments/suggestions?? I am dedicated but this seems a bit long.

Smitty79 Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 My current training is mainly Ben Stoeger stuff with some Steve Anderson thrown in. What's the best first reference for Mike's training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjb45 Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I tend to follow Mike's recommendations exactly. That said, you can tailor your dry fire training to suit your local club(s) typical stage. I would always do the 12, 3, 6 and 9 for sure. I would then bring in the other parts as I need. HIs book is the bomb!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimitz Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 The standard for effective dryfire is 5:1 meaning for every round you fire in livefire training you should be doing 5 in dryfire. I train at 600 live fire rds/week which is at least 3,000 dryfire reps/week. I used Mike's program when I first started action shooting 3 years ago and also trained with him once a year. Being able to draw & reload as you step is a fundamental skill which needs to be ingrained in the subconscious. That's why there are so many reps for these drills in his Phase I training. You shouldn't need to be changing the par times that often unless you've set them way too easy. If you are keeping track of them I like to do the 1st set of 10 reps on a drill at .1 sec above my current match speed, the 2nd 10 at match speed and then the 3rd set at .1 faster then match speed. When I can do the last 10 easily I then make that my new match speed and adjust everything accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
