Dryfire Friday night

I don't know, I did not realize it's going live. It is going live. All right, I'm still setting up. I am not all ready to go quite yet, so welcome to Friday night fight night. No, we're not fighting. Dry fire. So we're in my classroom, there is no ammo in the classroom. There you go, empty gun. I don't know how well you can see. Now I realize now as I went live, I believe someone told me that I'm not supposed to do live guns, so let's hope I don't get banned. I I don't know. I started it, I'll finish it. We'll see what happens. All right, so it is Friday night and I've been teaching all day. I'm teaching all day tomorrow and I'm teaching all day Sunday, but I need to get my dry fire in. So with that being said, um, what do I have to do that? One, I've got my whatever this is, my competition rig on. I have a phone and my par timer is on my phone. In the first drill I am doing, I'm going to do 10 reps and— hi Mike White, um, and I can be able to click and put you on there. So I'm going to do 10 reps and I'm doing just my draw. And the idea behind my draw is I'm just getting it from the holster to my grip, not pulling the trigger, not doing anything else. See, now I'm going to say hi and see who says hi. Hi, Keith. So 10 reps, draw just from holster to on target, and my goal is just to have a good grip, basically. So this is my safe direction, so that's the way I'm gonna go. Once I click start, I'm just going to do 10 reps, and then when I'm done, then I'll check back to see if there's any other things y'all have questions on. Um, empty gun, no ammo anywhere. I think those are the most important things regarding the safety stuff. I will use one of my IPSC targets that is there on my wall, and that's kind of about it. You guys may or may not hear the timer. I have no idea, but I'm just going to start because if I start, then I will get done. All right, nope, not even close, but I definitely need to turn that up. Oh, hold on, pause, restart. Now I'll be able to hear it. Maybe you guys will be able to hear it too, I don't know. Okay, I said stop. All right, here we go again. The whole goal is to get a full wrap or a good grip. Whoa, I guess I gotta go longer in between next time. Way too fast. All right, so this is my first time with the shot timer, so I need to make a little bit of an adjustment because I can't get back into my, um, holster quite as fast as that. So I'm resetting this to go. Hey Tara! Hi Keith! Did I say hi everyone? I said hi to everyone who said hi so far. All right, so try again. Like I said, everything is learning failure and learning failure. Fail to success. Yes, that's what I'm trying to do here. All right, let's go one more time. Nope, that totally sucked. Way too less. Not a good grip. Better. Only 6 more to go. Getting there. That was decent. That was way slow. I could feel that slow. Yeah, y'all see that twitch? All right, last one. I think that was 10. Just like that. Oh no, that was 10. Oh well, but I had a couple in the beginning. So that's my dry fire practice. Not overly exciting, probably pretty boring to watch, but people always ask like, what do you do, what do you do? So I've got a couple weeks until my first competition, so my draw— I'm getting my grip under control is definitely part of it. Um, so that is one of my things. The next one I'm gonna do is reloads. Uh, reload is going to be a little bit different. This one is a fast reload with an unloaded firearm, draw and place the shot on target, reload with an empty magazine and place second shot at target. So all of these targets here in front of me are my fake targets, right? So, um, this is my empty gun, these are my empty magazines. There's nothing that's going to go bang while we're here. If it does, everyone will be surprised, especially me. So the idea is I'm going to draw on target, pull the trigger, drop my magazine, and reload the next one. And same idea, I'm just going to do 10 reps of this. Uh, the challenge will be I only have 8 magazines, so I'm actually going to change the reps to be 8 so that— well, actually I'm gonna have to change to 7 because I have 7. So work with what you got. So initially the first 5 I will do off my belt, and then the last 2 I will do off the table. Now I see other things on the other side. So you want to see the draw? Um, I don't— that doesn't— it's not long enough. It's my challenge there. If I do it this way We have to hope that no one ever comes down to visit me, which I just— I, I can't. Although I can do it that way if you'd like. I will turn this way so you can see more of that, um, because I do have targets that I could shoot at there. What do you think, Mike? Is that a good— is gonna be a close enough thing? Um, let's just— I will do my table draw from here instead. All right. We'll get a different angle because Mike wants to see more. So here we go. I gotta move the table because I do that crazy close to the camera. All right, what do you think, Mike? This can be better. We'll see. Move this over here. Table draws off that. All right, now my targets are further away. Now we're making it harder. All right, here we go. Um, so this is draw, shoot, reload, shoot, and then we'll see if I've got enough time. So empty magazine in here to drop out when I am done. All right, here we go. I've got 2 targets here. We'll see how this goes. This is going to be 7 reps because That's how many, um, loading devices I have. And yes, you'll hear things crashing to the floor and all of that. Okay, come on, don't go to sleep. Here we go. Oh, close. Oh, off the table start is way harder. Oh, that totally sucked. I'm gonna start here. I'm gonna miss one. I should have left it at 8. We'll go with the next one. That'll be close enough. All right. Ah, so close. Ah, getting closer, getting closer. Oh, not so much. All right, so a couple plugs, all that sort of stuff. Lots of stuff on the floor because, you know, that's part of dry fire practice. All right, so anyway, who else have I not said hi to? All right, Magnum Keith, I said hi to you. 500 Mac Crabby, nice to see you. Uh, all right, so I'm assuming when you said yes, Mike, that this is better, so you got to see more. Um, so yeah, so all right, so what have I learned? Haha, I am not a 3.5-second part-time shot reload shot girl quite yet. Uh, that's gonna take a little bit of time. I am out of breath, um, because that, that is a lot of work. Um, also the delay time in between, a little too short. Hey, C&T! Um, so that was definitely a little too short. Oh yeah, there, there's just magazines everywhere. Um, I feel like I'm missing one. Oh, because there's still one in here. Uh, so yeah, pieces and parts. It's always good to know where everything else Um, so yeah, so there's 10 rounds. Now I'm gonna go back to that first one that I did because— why? Because my draw kind of really sucked. Um, also because Mike White wants to see the whole thing, so I will do the first one I did one more time so I get 10 more reps in that. Hey, it's my battle beam! I do love the battle beam. So, uh, for those of you who aren't used to seeing him on Facebook, that's Mario Mosen for y'all. Uh, Mike is in the room, CNT 500, uh, our Krabby Turtle. I know Tara's here somewhere, I just gotta find her. There is Miss Tara Smith's Kitchen. See, it's Friday night, I gotta do roll call, right? Uh, hopefully I'll see y'all tomorrow. Um, I don't know who Coop is. Is Coop Magnum? I don't even know. Um, yeah, CEO— oops, what'd I just do? I have no idea what I just clicked on. All right, ta-da! All right, we're gonna do that draw thing again because I need work on that, and 10 reps is really not enough for dry fire. I said I'd be here 10 or 15 minutes. What do we got? Oh, we got 12 minutes. This already took me longer than I thought. Alrighty then, um, here we go. Another 10 reps just with the draw, no reload, and the goal of this is part-time of 0.7, um, and then allows me 6 seconds to put it back, get ready. The real goal is for me to chill and relax and have this as relaxed as possible to be able to get up here nice and fast with a nice good draw. So let's go see if I can do it. Here we go. That 0.7 is really fast, man. Relax shoulders and stop talking. I'll get the next one. A little better. A little too far. So if my arms aren't moving as soon as that beep, it's not gonna make it. A little better. What do you guys think? Can you tell? That sucked. That was a bad grip. Oh, that— there's way misery. Almost a little smoother, just a little bit. Oh yeah, I can't talk and do this. Oh heck. All right, so that was like 8-ish or so, give or take. Apparently I can't talk and listen to the thing at the same time. Yeah, I can do it some of the time. It will actually work, just not all of the time. I actually have trained with Lena. Yeah, I got a long way to go to catch up with Lena, and I don't know that's ever happening, but I do love her and she is a sweetheart. But yeah, no, her mom actually was the first one to train me back in 2001. 10 was Beige with Bullets. Um, love the McLean family, they are awesome. Oh, all right. Hey G23, thank you for the thumbs up, sir. Um, oh, and if all of you have not seen G23, um, the interview I just did with him last week Saturday, you got to see it because no joke, I really think it is the most amazing interview that I've ever had the pleasure of doing. G23 just shared like crazy with us, uh, first time he told anyone his story. And I didn't realize I was having the honor of doing that until like towards the end of the interview. I'm like, oh yeah, huh. So yeah, check that out. That is a very cool interview. All right, so purchase request. Would you like to purchase the— no, I'm gonna go with the no ads, maybe later. All right, so how do we get better? We failed to success. So what did I kind of suck at? Those reloads. So what I'm going to do is give myself 0.5 of a second. So my part time is 4 seconds, not 3.5, and I'm going to give myself a whole 7 seconds in between the reps. So this next one is, um, draw, take a shot, reload, back on target. That is the next one, and we're going to do 7 reps because I'm going to start with one in here. Again, empty gun, empty everything, and here we go. And this is me getting ready for my competition season. Here we go. I just needed half a second. That was what it was. Oh, I'm gonna kill my— yeah, that one not so much. I almost killed my phone. Let's not do that. That'll be expensive. Not really. Oh, that was cool. All right, on. Oh, one more. Oh, so fail, so fail. And that was 7. All right, so almost crashed the front of my phone because it was too close to the edge and my thing fell on there. Um, yeah, so, um, but anyway, here we go. So yes, yes we are. There's 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, um, in every gun ever. So yes, in Connecticut we are limited to 10 rounds in handguns, in every gun. Yes, it is. And our lovely illustrious governor came out with more restrictions and more limitations. And yeah, it's fun. It's not really fun because if it actually did anything to prevent violence, we all— yeah, trust me, when I travel all over the country for competition and I say I'm from Connecticut, everyone says they're sorry. However, you know, it is what it is and that's kind of it. All right, so you got to see some of my live fire. I am going to take off here and I will appreciate, I mean, I appreciate all of your comments and everything else and thanks for the likes and that sort of stuff. And I don't know, you know me, I just kind of randomly pop on. By all means, pop in tomorrow, Suicide Prevention Saturday, 9:00 PM Eastern. Oh my God, another special guest. I've had like 3 weeks in a row with special guests. I don't know, you guys are gonna be spoiled or you're gonna be bored when you go back to just me. But yeah, well, now I'm gonna be in Connecticut probably forever, but you know, can always hope that it will change. I don't know. And yes, I will see you all later. And yeah, I know you're not wrong. So I owe GT3 a count because 4 weeks ago, maybe 3 weeks ago, I said goodbye and then I say goodbye again. And then I said I'm going to give someone a prize if I figure out how many goodbyes I said. So I need to go back to like 3 weeks ago and count the goodbyes. But tonight I will say goodnight. Enjoy the rest of your weekend, everybody. Hopefully I'll see you guys tomorrow night on Suicide Prevention Saturday with my special guest. Oh yeah. Yeah. It's just dumb. If it did something, it'd be great, but it's just dumb. So, all right, good night all. Have a great rest of your weekend and see y'all tomorrow. Bye.
