I haven't heard of it. I'm kind of spoiled in that I can step out of my gun room and dry fire 19 yards to the other end of the basement The wife and kids don't even notice me now after years of "shooting" the dot on the wall. I taught 4H Rifle for several years. It always started mid-winter, so I would start the kids off in the basement. I had them dry fire with a AR15/22x Nightforce. The kids thought that was really cool! When it was time to head outside with the 22s, they were old hands at scope alignment, trigger control, etc.Haven't watched the video yet but I'm glad to see you guys covering the subject! Have you used or heard of using what another forum calls the Indoor Optical Training Aide (IOTA)? It's a cap that reduces something on the scope objective and let's you focus down to 10'! Makes it real nice to dry fire practice in your home with just a dot or sticker on the wall for a POA.

Awesome Video and 100% spot on. Dry firing rocks and you can do it almost anywhere even if you cant make it out to practice. I do it at times from my bedroom floor out the slider. If you live in town you might want to pick a different area though.
Nice job Sam and Ryan. If I may I will add, pay specific attention to the crosshairs as the triggers break. Practice form and follow through to keep the crosshairs tight on point of aim. Follow through by keeping the trigger back after the break for a few seconds to simulate seeing the impact on the target, then release.
Good job guys, many would not realize the importance of this exercise had you not brought it up.
