Dry Fire 2023 July day 5 - Reloads

A shooter works on reload speed, starting at 3.47 seconds and cutting it down to 2.5 seconds over five magazine runs with a shot timer. The focus is on measurable progress through repetition.

All right, so this is day 5. We're going to talk about imperfect action. You hear that? That would be the mistake of me giving the dog a water bottle, one of his favorite toys in the entire world. So do I have to take it away from him? Yeah, if we want to get through this, because there's nothing worse than bad audio. So with that, Draw. Draw. Good boy. We've done 2 days of dry fire and we have so far done draws. So let's switch it up for right now because like anything else in the world, you get bored if you do the same thing over and over again. So what do we have? What did we measure on the classifier? Measured draws, which we've done. To know what my split times is between shots. And we know at least one reload. And I remembered, but then I forgot to flip. Hold that thought. One reload, 3.47 seconds. So 3.5 seconds. No, 3.47. So 3.47. So yeah, yeah, because they're hundredths, tenths of seconds. Yeah, okay. So anyway, 3.47. We'll just call it 3.5. So what do I want to do? I want to practice my reload and see if I can do better than 3.47. So let's try that. Oh, you know my handy-dandy shot timer. So this time I'm setting it at 3.4 seconds, which seems sad to me, but we'll see if we can get that faster sooner than later. And I don't know about the delay time. I think we could probably drop that. Um, but then number of reps. We're going for 5 reps at a time because I have 5 magazines. So, I have— here we go. 2-second part time. We started at 3.5. We just got to 3. Oh no, I guess we got to 2.5. And now we're all the way down to— I hate when my hands forget. We're down to 2. So a second and a half faster than what my classifier reload was. Let's see how this goes. Ooh, barely. Just on the edge. All right, I think that is as fast as I'm gonna get to go tonight. Thank y'all for checking in. Mario, keeping me honest here. Thanks for commenting every night. Talk to you later.
