hi I'm Sid with t1g we're out here at the Rogers range today and we're going
to be talking about some drop fire techniques and the importance of drop
fire drop fire technique is not the sexy part of learning how to shoot
unfortunately but it is probably one of the most important skills that we need
to be working on because most people don't have the money and the time really
to go out to a range and get all your gear and spend all of the money and time
out there to get the proper techniques down that they're they're looking
forward to get that that skill set driven home drop fire technique allows us
the opportunity to practice in the comfort of our own home and the
atmosphere that we were comfortable with and still drive home all of the
fundamentals of shooting the pistol the carbine the shotgun I brought a couple
of different systems out here that we're going to talk about they're going to
help us with our draw fire technique most people that have their their
firearm probably don't invest the money in the fancy conversion kits or even a
dedicated dry fire type gun but we can still get good practice in just with our
standard firearm the most important thing is if we're going to use a real
firearm for dry fire is to ensure that we keep our ammo stored somewhere else
we don't keep it in the same room that were dry firing with while we clear
that weapon out we store the ammo someplace and then we can go to the area
that we're going to be dry firing in when we're practicing with our regular
firearms we are afforded the opportunity to actually practice manipulations
malfunction drills pretty much everything that we would need was that
we would use in normal shooting techniques if you want to you can
actually invest in some pretty high-end stuff a little little bit nicer system
like this which you can convert your normal firearm and it allows you to dry
fire and not worry about the ammunition being such a concern but they have
weights for the magazines that keep them nice and solid and it gives us an
Opportunity to get some good practice in and then I'm a real big fan of a dedicated
dry fire gun this one is actually a non firing pistol but it manipulates and
operates much like your normal firearm would a weight a magazine it resets the
trigger for you and one like this actually has a laser on it so you can
also confirm the hit that your you're shooting with so it works out really
well for you when we're practicing our dry fire techniques it's all about
making sure that we are reinforcing the hard skill set a good technique that
I'll use is I will practice bringing the gun up and aligning the sights and
pressing off that dry fire shot maybe on a spot on a wall or sometimes I'll use a
mirror with a spot on it to focus on and it gives us that good sight picture sight
alignment we can confirm our sights on the dot that we're using another technique
would be to close your eyes as you're bringing the gun up and working the
trigger at the same time and then open your eyes and see where those sights are
aligned so you can get that consistent of pressure every time putting the gun
in the same spot and it helps with accuracy and trigger manipulation so
those are some techniques that I'll use for a standard dry fire practice so
another technique that I like to use and it's really fun is I like to put up some
interactive targets that can shoot dry fire up now here at the Rogers range
since we've got it right here one of my favorite drills to do is watch one of
the videos that I've taken of the Roger steel moving it's interactive and we get
a chance to dry fire it on our TV now the key thing here is make sure that
your gun is unloaded you don't want to surprise yourself by ruining your
brand-new TV so make sure your ammo stored someplace safe but we're going to
put up some videos here so you guys can watch and we'll go through the different
tests of the other Rogers make your drop fire a little more interactive hopefully
get you on the gun a little bit more to get your skills back up so check out our
channel for the Rogers course of fire we're going to put all nine tests up there
for you guys if you have any questions or comments leave them in a comment
