Notes:
• DryFire uses your own gun – not a toy gun or one you “borrow” for the occasion. We believe this is critical for serious practice because you will be using your own gun on the range and you will have selected that gun to suit your build and your style of shooting. If you are a serious shooter you will probably have had the fit of your gun adjusted by a professional gunsmith – so, it is essential that you use your own gun for practice.
• With DryFire you use exactly the same skills as on the range. You take up position, watch for the clay, swing, fire and follow through exactly as with a real clay – if you don’t you will miss – just as with a real clay. Using the same skills means that the more you practice, the faster your muscle memory will go into auto-pilot allowing you to focus your entire attention on Mr Digweed’s three most important items – “the target, the target, the target.”
• DryFire allows for lead – you have to judge the speed of the target, its angle of flight and its distance so that you apply the right amount of lead. DryFire is not like a shoot-em-up arcade game!
• DryFire is designed for use at home, at work or in the club. It provides you with the most important ingredient in the development and retention of any skill – practice – lots of it – at an affordable price and wherever you are.
• We do not believe that DryFire has a serious competitor as a training aid for the competitive clay shooter – if you find one, let us know and we will run a comparison.
