What Is Dry Fire Training?

Dry fire practice is the act of training with your firearm without using live ammunition. It involves practicing your draw, trigger press, reloads, movement, and transitions - often using tools like laser cartridges, timers, or virtual targets.

The Truth from a Pro: Why Dry Fire Still Matters

Ben Stoeger, one of the most accomplished competitive shooters in the world, firmly believes that dry fire training increases focus and efficiency, even for elite-level shooters with unlimited range access.

“Dry fire lets you train without the distractions of loading mags, managing noise, or resetting targets. You just get focused reps - more of them, with better attention to detail,” says Stoeger.

Benefits of Dry Fire Training (Even with Unlimited Ammo)

• ✅ More Efficient Practice: Get 5-10x more repetitions in less time. No need to reload or reset targets.

• ✅ Laser-Focused Skill Building: Isolate specific skills like trigger control, draw speed, or target transitions.

• ✅ Zero Cost: Practice daily without burning through expensive ammo.

• ✅ Mental Training: Dry fire helps build discipline, visualization skills, and muscle memory.

• ✅ Portable & Flexible: Practice from home, in your office, or while traveling. No range required.

Why Top Shooters Still Dry Fire

Even professionals with free ammo and unlimited shooting privileges rely heavily on dry fire. Stoeger explains that live fire has downtime - stuffing mags, checking targets, managing range logistics. Dry fire eliminates those gaps, allowing for continuous, focused repetitions.

And for instructors or members of tactical units, dry fire provides an efficient way to develop consistent, repeatable gun handling skills - without needing to set foot on a range.

Final Thoughts

Dry fire isn’t just for beginners or budget-conscious shooters - it’s a tool used by champions to build and refine world-class skills. Whether you’re training for competition, self-defense, or tactical readiness, adding structured dry fire to your routine will elevate your performance faster and more efficiently than live fire alone.
