    Dry Firing and training yourself to shoot better.

    This has really helped me be a better shooter. I use it more with positional shooting than anything else, but it's a great warm up.


    Next time you take that "cold bore" shot. Dry fire for about 5 min, and tell me if your first 3 shots are not MUCH closer.

    I dry fire a lot, especially when switching between rifles at the range.

      If I find out a friend is a new shooter, I almost always make sure they get a pack of snap caps to help them practice at the house. It can really help to develop form and muscle memory with pistols, too.

        Snap caps are good for fixing flinching as well.

              Snap caps aren't needed, but they can be used to "slip in" on your range buddy to see if he flinches.

                They are necessary on some action designs. The M1/M1A action is one that needs them.

                    It's more to do with possible damage to the firing pin on those actions in particular.

                      Snapping in is a term used in USMC basic/recruit training where you spend time around the ranges in learning about different firing positions, trigger control, breathing, sight alignment/sight picture, keeping a range book, ect. Then you practice for a couple of weeks dry firing prior to actually shooting live rounds. They used to pair you up with another kid who would stand behind you and have a string that was tied to your charging handle so he could charge it back after you took a shot. That video just reminded me of snapping in and how much you learned before you even fired a round down range.

                        Rimfires shouldn't be dry fired without them, IMO.
