Default How often do you dry practice?

I try to dry practice at least three times a week for about 15-20 mins. at a time. I don't really have a set routine but I go through different things each time like drawing from concealment, trigger control, malfunctions, etc. Mostly what I've learned at Front Sight. Next time I take a course there I get to pick up their dry practice manuals I earned in an upgrade which I'm looking forward to getting.

Being retired, I try to put in at least a 10 minute dry practice session every day. I have a basement wall designate the "safe wall" in my house. No ammunition or loaded guns of any kind are allowed in there so I don't shoot the wall :)

Don't dry practice much but average a trip to the range about every two weeks.

I make it a point to go to the range at least once a week. 100-300 rounds. Went today as a matter of fact.;)

I really need to get to the range and fire my Glock 23. I haven't shot it since I got it back from Glock when they performed upgrades on it.

I hope to get to go to the Glock factory myself in a couple of weeks. I want to get some night sights installed on my G26.

I practice with my G27. I bought some A-Zoom snap caps and I do everything from "move and shoot" (with variations) as well as failure drills and reloads. I don't practice as much as I used to, but I can go out to my base's firing range and live fire when I like. Just did some today...felt good.. :)

I never dry fire practice. I usually fire at least 20 rounds every couple days. Sometimes a little more. Since I'm able to shoot at any time I want I use live rounds to work on fundamentals.

Not nearly as much as I'd like to. I try to get in 15-20 minutes at least once or twice a week, but with a 2 1/2 year old and a 6 month old at home, those 15-20 minute blocks of free time are a bit scarce. :(
