I am planning to start shooting IDPA competition this fall at some of my local clubs. In preparation along with going to my local indoor range and shooting live ammo and I wanted to start doing some dry fire practicing. I have a projector in my den that we use to watch movies with, it projects on a white wall and is about 13 wide. I developed a PowerPoint slide show with some animation and I wanted to make it as real as possible (I practice with my headphone and eye glasses on to add to the realism). Each slide has a real range as the back ground to simulate that I am actually on a range. There are 10 targets that are animate for each slide. They appear at various times and are displayed for a set amount of time. As I get faster I will shorten the time for each target. The tasks that I am focusing on are draw and fire, tactical reload, draw and fire behind cover, dry fire strong hand, retention reload and dry fire weak hand. The entire exercise runs for 8:52 and I usually go through the exercise 2-3 times each practice session and I try and do the exercise at least once a day. Note: I am using snap caps. The first slide is draw and fire: I start with the gun in the holster, on safe and hammer back. When the buzzer sounds a target or multiple targets appears for 3 seconds. In that time period, I draw my gun, acquire the target with a good site picture, flip the safety off and fire. When the target disappears I have 6 - 10 seconds to cock the hammer and place the safety on and then holster the gun before the buzzer goes off with another target to engage. The second slide is a tactical reload: A target appears and I take aim. When the target disappears I do a tactical reload (minus dropping the slide which is already forward). I try to have the reload finished before the next target appears in 3.5 seconds. I then acquire the target with a good site picture and fire. The target stays for 6 - 10 seconds allowing me time to recover my dropped magazine and replace the magazine in the magazine holder before the target again disappears and I execute another tactical reload. The third slide is draw and fire behind cover: This slide is similar to the first slide except the targets are engaged behind cover. The forth slide is dry fire strong hand: A target or multiple targets appear for 2 seconds. During this time I acquire the target with a good site picture and fire using only my strong hand. The target than disappears for 2 seconds giving me time to cock the hammer to the rear before another target appears in a different location. The fifth slide is retention reload: This slide is similar to the second slide except it is a retention reload. The sixth slide and dry fire weak hand: This slide is similar to the forth slide except conducted with my weak hand. code pour embarquer la vidéo : >>> http://www.youtube.com/embed/6z6ETxI8XNg <<< |
