Field Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 i think my all time favorite one to practice is that simple 2 shots freestyle/ reload / 2 shots stronghand/ reload/ 2 shots weakhand then you can do it in reverse where you start by drawing to weakhand and ending freestyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfpmb Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Just copied all this information into a word document so i can print it off and have it handy, separate sheets for each setup for the different days. Looking forward to getting started on some winter training (I hate living in Northern IN this time of year) Bravo to Pittbug and Ben. Thanks for making this and puting in the time for others to benefit. I like it and put it on pdf in booklet form (like a match booklet). I like charts, so I put a graph in mine.

JasonLee Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 This is a total noob question but how do you get the click each time you pull the trigger? Don't you have to recock to get another trigger click? Also, is there a poor man's timer or something? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't you have to recock to get another trigger click? Also, is there a poor man's timer or something? Thanks! I have the same question as Noob Jason. I think it would be good practice to rack the slide between each shot, but is that how the drills are done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 depends on the gun you are using as to how the trigger will reset or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastmtnbiker33w Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 I was finally able to watch the videos. Youtube is blocked at my work. It appears that he gets a hammer drop on his first trigger pull and just keeps pulling the trigger for subsequent shots but doesn't get the full pull with a hammer drop or striker fall. Lots of great drills. I can't tell which is more difficult to parse through.....the written instructions or the video. The video is edited very well and moves quickly. Nice job and kudos/thanks for posting that stuff up for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastmtnbiker33w Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 So now I have ANOTHER noob question. How does he get his timer to stop when doing these drills? I'm shopping for timers/putting one on the Christmas list. Are they sensitive enough to hear the click of the hammer or the striker mechanism? And if they are, do you not drop the hammer until your last "shot" during these drills so you can get an more relevant time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if they are, do you not drop the hammer until your last "shot" during these drills so you can get an more relevant time? most good timers have a "par time" feature. You can set it to beep to start then after X.XX seconds, itll beep again. the idea is to have drills completed by the 2nd beep. slowly you starting making the time between beeps smaller and small as you get better.

mark carr Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Great job Ben its a great Alaskan practice drill we have such short season if I do this all winter I will be really ready this spring. Thanks. Mark, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JesseM Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Semi serious question. What do I do if I can't beat any of the par times listed as novice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lugnut Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Semi serious question. What do I do if I can't beat any of the par times listed as novice? Do what you can and document it. Improvement is what you are looking for.... don't get caught up with reaching Ben's times just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick romero Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I really like this dry fire program, it works great for people who don't get to shoot often. it keeps me improving and allows me to still get some trigger time in while spending time at home with the family!

JasonandMichelle Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 I know I'm reviving a dead post, but this is great. I think these drills will help! I'm confused though about 1/3 targets and relative distance to targets, though. I found a thread that calculated what size targets represent distance from target, and so on, but I'm concerned I won't set up at the right distance. Thoughts?

Norther Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Google 1/3 scale USPSA target. Print one off. Adjust printer scale until it is 6" wide (or true 1/3 scale). Copy a bunch. Now, use them at 1/3 the distance; if the drill says 7 yards, set it at 7 feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RammerJammer Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 It would really awesome if Ben would do videos of the drills in his dry fire book. Specifically close 90 close 90 close and the 3 that have 2 steel and 1 paper. It's the only problem with his new website... Please... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AAHHHH (lightbulb went off). 1/3 scale target. 7yards=21 feet. 21feet/7feet. 3/1. Okay. Thanks guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirtychemist Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 i think my all time favorite one to practice is that simple 2 shots freestyle/ reload / 2 shots stronghand/ reload/ 2 shots weakhand then you can do it in reverse where you start by drawing to weakhand and ending freestyle I have thought about this and wondered if any course of fire goes that way. I like the draw empty and load and take two shots. Similar mentality to a table draw I had yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevinWDH Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Thanks I know what I will be setting up this weekend!

connermorrow Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Have been doing this for a few weeks now and have already seen vast improvements. This helps! And really makes me push to be faster and achieve the par times he sets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
