Newcomers to clay shooting.

DryFire is the ideal way to get a lot of practice when learning the skills of clay shooting. If you are sensible you will schedule a series of lessons with the club instructor then you will need all the practice you can get. DryFire allows you to practice any time, anywhere; at home or at work and it helps you to develop the skills that will rapidly get you ready for competition shooting.

You’ve bought the gun, the jacket, the ear protection, the safety glasses, the cap and the ammo, you’ve joined the club and had the lessons – now’s the time to practice so that you can smoke those clays!

Competition shooters.

Shooting under competition conditions is stressful – no matter how easy the guy standing next to you makes it look (that’s just gamesmanship!) Competitions are not the place to practice – they are the place where you want to be 100% confident that your technique is perfect. Between competitions you need to build on your existing skills as you improve your average and move up through the classes.

DryFire allows you to chose the time and place for practice and lets you shoot one round or fifty rounds without worrying about the weather or traveling to the club. You may want to try a new technique – follow through instead of maintained lead for example – DryFire allows you to try a new technique without risking your competition scores.

Experts.

An expert is the first one to recognize that practice makes perfect. Without practice, skills begin to erode, muscle learning begins to decay and the mind begins to wander because the art of 100% concentration is lost. Experts know that beginners can quickly improve their skills because they are starting from a low base, but keeping high scores, and improving on them, is a serious problem. DryFire can provide you with better practice than the club because you will have to maintain a high level of concentration for a longer period of time. With DryFire in front of you, every time you call “Pull” you get a target. There is no moving between stands, no waiting for someone else on the squad to shoot – just 100% dedicated full-time practice. If you have the concentration skills to maintain high scores for half an hour with DryFire then you will have the skills to build your scores in competition.
