Dry Practice Reference for Proven Tips from an Advanced Front Sight Student is the culmination of over a decade of experience from numerous Front Sight students. These students have progressed through Front Sight’s basic and intermediate handgun courses to Front Sight’s most difficult course…the Handgun Combat Master Prep Course. This pamphlet picks up where the Front Sight Handgun Reference Manuel leaves off. This pamphlet addresses additional topics such as muscle memory and training options, such as the selection of an alternate weapon type, like Airsoft. The Dry Practice Reference for Handguns also covers topics related to dry practice safety and issues specific to women and dry practice. The Dry Practice Reference also includes recommended training schedules for those wanting to establish a training regiment to improve muscle memory, and a collection of Youtube video links of recommended videos. The Dry Practice Reference is written under the training doctrine of Front Sight Firearms Training Institute, which itself was derived from the teachings of Colonel Jeff Cooper.
Quick read. Was hoping for an assortment of dry practice (fire) drills. I was looking for one that would tighten my groups from a two-handed modified isosceles stance. Spent most of the book justifying dry practice and different tools/equipment that can be used. Good material just not what I was hoping for.
The basic ideas are great. I don't even have a problem with the selling of the app. Yes it is $100. But if they spent $5000 building it (that would be cheap) and only ever expect to sell a few hundred copies (super niche app after all ), they might break even.
The big problem I have with this is the skills themselves. Clear a Type 1 malfunction. What is that? No explanation, no step by step, nothing to help. The schedule could have given some basic diagrams or steps. I am assuming the app does, but they should be here as well.
And the super busy schedule has you do one skill a month for two years??? Impossible. How about spending 5 mins on 4 skills a month to get your 20 mins a month. Just unreasonable to break it out over two years.
I would say the best thing about this is the links to the video's, I don't know if I would have come across those on youtube otherwise. When I downloaded the sample, the little you got to read led me to think it was more of a "beginners" type book. Don't get me wrong, there is good information, just not quite what I was expecting.
