- [Will it work with a release (set) trigger?](https://dryfireus.com/ufaq/will-it-work-with-a-release-set-trigger/) - Yes. Trigger boxes are capable of acting as a normal trigger (shot fired when switch pressed) or as a set/release trigger (pressing the switch "sets" the trigger and releasing the switch fires the shot.) Checking Which Mode the Trigger Is In Press the trigger switch. If the LED flashes when the switch is pressed the
- [Do I need a special gun, or do you supply a toy gun?](https://dryfireus.com/ufaq/do-i-need-a-special-gun-or-do-you-supply-a-toy-gun/) - DryFire simulators are serious training aids - not toys or games! We have gone to every effort to ensure that shooting at a simulated target is exactly the same as shooting at a clay - that's why you use your own gun with our simulators - not some specially modified or "toy" gun. A critical
- [How does DryFire work?](https://dryfireus.com/ufaq/how-does-dry-fire-work/) - The DryFire simulator contains a safe, low-power light source generating a sharp beam of light which can be projected onto almost any surface a few feet or many yards away. Place the simulator on a table, or mount it on a photographic tripod, point it at a wall and stand behind it with your gun.
- [Can it handle simultaneous doubles?](https://dryfireus.com/ufaq/can-it-handle-simultaneous-doubles/) - Yes. The simulator contains a single laser to generate the target spot representing the clay. When you select simultaneous doubles the simulator displays the first target and, when you shoot, it immediately switches the laser to follow the path of the second target. So, if you are 1 second into the flight of the first
- [Does it work with American Trap targets?](https://dryfireus.com/ufaq/does-it-work-with-american-trap-targets/) - The question really is, "do the targets change angles randomly or do you program each shot for a change? I.e. hard right from station 5 is thrown until you change the program to throw a straight a way station 5, or does it change angles after each shot from station 5?" It does what the
- [Will it work outdoors, or in a brightly lit room?](https://dryfireus.com/ufaq/will-it-work-outdoors-or-in-a-brightly-lit-room/) - Sorry, but this has to be a little technical. Laser Clays Laser clays involves using a special shotgun to shoot directly at special reflective clays. When you squeeze the trigger the shotgun sends out a powerful beam of invisible infrared light and this bounces off the reflective clay (assuming that you are aiming directly at
- [Do I need a darkened room?](https://dryfireus.com/ufaq/do-i-need-a-darkened-room/) - No and maybe. DryFire works best in subdued light. This is because the pulse of invisible light fired from your gun barrel is in the infra-red part of the spectrum. Direct sunlight also contains infra-red so it is best to ensure that sunlight is not directly falling onto the wall you are using for target
- [What size room do I need?](https://dryfireus.com/ufaq/what-size-room-do-i-need/) - The simulator projects targets against a wall and you stand behind the simulator to shoot. You need a fairly flat wall, a minimum of 8 feet long. The space requirements will depend on the type of training you plan to do. If you are a single shooter, using a Single Head unit, you’ll need the
- [Is the laser dangerous?](https://dryfireus.com/ufaq/is-the-laser-dangerous/) - Lasers are part of our every day lives - your CD player and PC laser printer both contain lasers. Looking directly at the bright midday sun is a very dangerous thing to do - don't do it unless you wish to risk blindness. The same rule applies to a light source - don't look directly
- [Is the simulator exactly like shooting in real life?](https://dryfireus.com/ufaq/is-the-simulator-exactly-like-shooting-in-real-life/) - Not exactly. One difference is: there is no recoil. DryFire provides a two dimensional representation of a target - it "flies" across the wall in front of you. On the range you have the advantage of three dimensions so that you can judge distance. DryFire helps here by providing you with a display on your
- [How big is the simulator, and how do I mount it?](https://dryfireus.com/ufaq/how-big-is-the-simulator-and-how-do-i-mount-it/) - The base is 6" x 6" x 4.25" (152mm x 152mm x 63.5mm). Underneath the base has a tripod bushing built-in which fits quite happily on top of a camera tripod. The simulator may also be ceiling mounted.
- [Do I need a PC? Can I use a Mac?](https://dryfireus.com/ufaq/do-i-need-a-pc-can-i-use-a-mac/) - You need a Windows PC to run DryFire. Macs do not support our systems. • The PC controls the simulator to generate the targets and to see where you shot.• The PC shows you exactly where you shot in relation to the target.• The PC allows you to access this site for the latest news
- [What other items are needed?](https://dryfireus.com/ufaq/what-other-items-are-needed/) - If you have a suitable PC, you will need your shotgun, a suitable room, and you will need to purchase a DryFire Home Pack.

DryFire is the ideal way to get a lot of practice when learning the skills of clay shooting.

- [So, you shoot at a laser target?](https://dryfireus.com/ufaq/so-you-shoot-at-a-laser-target/) - It sounds simple, doesn't it? Yes, that's what happens - it moves a spot of red-orange laser light across the wall in front of you and you shoot at it. However, there is much more to it. Read on to learn the facts. The very unique thing is that the spot of the laser light
- [How accurate are the targets?](https://dryfireus.com/ufaq/how-accurate-are-the-targets/) - Very accurate. The path and speed of the target, the amount of lead you must allow, the moment when you first see the target, the moment it disappears (a rabbit between bushes for example), the moment it goes out of range, the effect of a strong wind blowing the target towards you or away from
- [Does DryFire simulate American shotgun shells?](https://dryfireus.com/ufaq/does-dryfire-simulate-american-shotgun-shells/) - This question could be broken down into two parts: • Can you define a shot shell performance i.e. velocity, hardness of shot (such as trap, or tungsten, or hevishot for water fowlers), amount of shot?• How about a Ruger Red Label 28 gauge configuration (for example), could this be modeled? Yes, in the User's Table
- [How much lead do I need, and how curved are the trajectories?](https://dryfireus.com/ufaq/how-much-lead-do-i-need-and-how-curved-are-the-trajectories/) - Remember that DryFire provides two things: • Accurate angular speed • Accurate angular target trajectories To hit a DryFire target you need the same angular lead as on the range. If we talk about lead in terms of yards we all know that this will depend on a number of factors: • The speed of
- [What about clay speed?](https://dryfireus.com/ufaq/what-about-clay-speed/) - Customer:• Clay Shooting is all about lead • Perceived lead - amount of visible daylight between end of barrel and clay is not dependant on distance to clay (although some additional lead is required for longer distances due to de-acceleration of shot, but forget this for the moment). • The lead is a geometrical calculation
- [Is it suitable for disabled shooters in wheelchairs?](https://dryfireus.com/ufaq/is-it-suitable-for-disabled-shooters-in-wheelchairs/) - Yes. This unique type of shooter was taken into consideration when the system was designed, and it is possible to locate the simulator to the side of the shooter rather than directly in front of the shooter. Once you have set the system up, it is a simple matter to tell the DryFire software exactly
- [What's the hold point, and what about target speed?](https://dryfireus.com/ufaq/whats-the-hold-point-and-what-about-target-speed/) - From DryFire user Michael H: "I am a competitive skeet shooter and I have specific hold points (where I hold the gun just prior to calling "pull") and these are mostly found by comparing the barrel to the skeet house, using it as a reference point. For example I hold at 1/3 of the distance
- [Does DryFire handle Browning B425, Kolar, and Krieghoff shotguns?](https://dryfireus.com/ufaq/does-dryfire-handle-browning-b425-kolar-and-krieghoff-shotguns/) - You use your own gun with DryFire, so the weight and swing ability are exactly the same as normal. The manufacturer of the gun does not matter to the software - it is worth remembering the George Digweed using a $10,000 Krieghoff's! Things
- [Does DryFire take business away from gun clubs?](https://dryfireus.com/ufaq/does-dryfire-take-business-away-from-gun-clubs/) - Absolutely not! Ask any gun club owner about his "conversion rate" - the percentage of visitors/trial lessons he turns into long-term shooters. The majority of people who come along with friends for a trial shoot, or as part of a corporate day, get disillusioned about how hard it is and they are never seen again.
- [How does DryFire compare with Laser Shot?](https://dryfireus.com/ufaq/how-does-dryfire-compare-with-laser-shot/) - Really, that's for you to judge - check out Laser Shot at www.lasershot.com. There are so many systems with "laser" or "virtual" in their title that it can become very confusing. Systems boil down to two types: • Shooting at special clays using special shotguns.This can be outdoors or indoors and requires special clays to

What CAN'T it do?](https://dryfireus.com/ufaq/are-there-any-weaknesses-what-cant-it-do/) - There are a few considerations here: No recoil There is no recoil when you press the trigger with DryFire. You hear the "bang" on your PC speaker, and you can turn that up as loud as you wish, but you get no recoil. Recoil can bring about its own problems - flinch (the anticipation of
- [What variables does DryFire take into consideration for targets and shots?](https://dryfireus.com/ufaq/what-variables-does-dryfire-take-into-consideration-for-targets-and-shots/) - Targets • Starting point and height of clay • Landing point of clay • Intermediate height of clay (ex: 12 foot high at 10 yards from the trap) • Type of clay: standard, rabbit, rocket, battue etc. • Wind direction and speed • Orientation of clay: edge-on clays (crosser's) are much harder to break than
- [How quickly does DryFire cycle targets?](https://dryfireus.com/ufaq/how-quickly-does-dryfire-cycle-targets/) - This question probably means "what is the time between calling 'Pull' for one target and then for the next?" The answer is 4 to 7 seconds. And the software allows you to fire two shots at any target (assuming two barrels or two cartridges in a semi-auto). It then sets up ready for the next
