A dry-fire reload drill using four reps per set with a 2.5-second beeper. The instructor covers keeping your finger off the trigger during magazine changes, maintaining sight picture, and avoiding common mistakes like dropping mags and timing errors.
All right, so let's talk about today's dry fire. We are doing reloads. I've already done reloads this week, uh, the ones that I didn't record yesterday. So a couple things I did learn from yesterday is that I'm only going to do 4 reps at a time because notice on my caddies there, they go back. When I get back to that 5th one, it's just crazy slow. The other thing you'll notice is while I'm doing this, I have a 2.5 set for, um, how long I have in between. I think I turned that volume down a little too low so you can't hear the beeps. However, these— this is already my second set of 4, and one of the things you'll notice is my finger never goes on the trigger until these last 2 reps. I'm like, oh yeah, I want to actually take a shot. All right, maybe it's the last rep on this set. I could have it wrong, but it's okay to break your stuff down into what you actually want. So for example, right now I'm just working on the mechanics of getting to see my sights, drop the magazine, and get that other one up there. Some of them are much better than others. By the time I get to my last couple I'm a little bit better. However, I thought that I caught me throwing one of the magazines across because that's what happens when you miss. Oh, there it is right there. Uh-huh, that one. Um, and that will happen in actual, um, in actual competition is you'll go to reload and forget about that magazine. It's going and there's no saving it. So just go for the next one. Now that I'm warmed up, I'm like, oh yeah, I need to work on my sight picture and my trigger pull. When I'm coming down, so my finger's on the trigger till the beeper goes off. It goes beep, finger comes off. We always have our fingers off for reload, and then take my shot once I'm back up on target. And that's the whole thing all together. Like I was working with one of my students today, we were talking about how to break stuff down into little pieces. So, finger on the trigger, I took the shot, I'm waiting for the beep, drop the mag, fingers off trigger, Sights on target, fingers back on trigger. And that, my friends, is how we practice reloading. By all means, leave a comment, let me know what you think, let me know what else you want to do. Tried to do a bunch of different angles for you guys today, and that's kind of that. Tomorrow is Saturday. I don't even know what day— oh yeah, sometimes you're like, wait, what am I doing? Because my first rep went, and I kind of goofed that one up. This one, I'm getting tired already. My eyes are tired, it's late. And then I think my last one or so here, I totally mess up. Not sure what happened, but there we go. And that was it because I missed the first one. All right folks, have a great night. Thanks for checking in, and I will see you all tomorrow.
