Winny Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 So I've run into somewhat of a set back in my shooting and looking for some advice on a dry fire program that revolves around a recliner. It seems while coaching my daughters bball team I caused some damage to my calf and a neighboring ligament, so I'm kind of bound to a recliner for a bit. I have a pretty decent dry fire program and live fire program I follow when I'm well and when life permits. I'm wondering if anyone here has been chair bound for an extended period of time and what drills they found were doable or worked for them. I'm getting plenty of trigger work in freestyle, and both strong and support hand, but I'm wanting something more dynamic. Thanks in advance.

Hi-Power Jack Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Some members here have put up many small targets around the room and use them for dry fire - gives them an opportunity to make transitions. Hope that calf heals quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flatland Shooter Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Years ago I got laid up for a while. My wife was good about moving around dry fire targets in different locations to give me variety. One thing I got good at was table starts and reloads with mags placed on a table. Due to bad knees, I still prefer to stay seated when the start position is a chair. I credit that dryfiring to my comfort with shooting while seated.

George Post Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 In your case I recommend putting the dry fire targets on the ceiling and using the chair in full reclined position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winny Posted December 10, 2018 Author Share Posted December 10, 2018 I've got targets spread all throughout the room. I like the idea of having them on the ceiling though. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shootmove Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Ben Stoeger has some 1/3 and 1/6 size targets (IPSC, plate racks, etc.) that I find useful for this very purpose. You can certainly practice fast transitions with the upper body without using your legs If you have a SIRT/laster pistol, dot drills for accuracy (e.g. Travis Haley Venti 100) are also possible.
