Dry-fire is free

Pictured here is my Mod2 with the MantisX Blackbeard dry firing system specific to Ar15 pattern weapons. This one has a green visible dot and you can zero the laser’s POI. When you pull the trigger it resets the hammer. It’s rad.

Dry-firing doesn’t cost any money. It doesn’t take a lot of time and if your time is limited, any amount of slow and deliberate repetition will benefit you in measurable ways. If you want to speed it up and be a fastboi, I don’t care, I’m not the Dry-fire Police.

At night I practice mostly movement through my home, passively aiming at various targets around the house. There are too many reflective surfaces around for me to use even the Low power setting on my laser so this is where I spend most of my time practicing shooting with the dot under goggles. I take my time and and channel my inner Fire-Team Haole.

It’s currently October and getting closer to Halloween, so I’ve got a lot of fake spiders around the house to shoot at.

My gear is different from yours and you can practice however you want. You don’t need the MantisX stuff, you dont need anything more than an empty chamber and some patience.

There are more qualified people than I that have written up lots of dry-fire drills for you, so get googling, nerd.
