Steve Anderson is a huge believer in the power of dry fire practice. The To make all of the skills required to fire a pistol accurately at high speed subconsciously controlled. According to When the basic gunhandling skills are subconsciously controlled, you are no longer drawing, aiming, pulling the trigger and firing the gun. You are simply shooting. Refinement and Repetition is made up of 38 dry fire drills, including the exact drills Steve used to achieve the rank of Grand Master in one year after buying his first IPSC Open Pistol. If you've ever wondered, "Well, what should I practice today?" - then Steve's book is a must have. His well thought out and organized drills will guide you from beginning presentation skills to advanced multiple target engagement and transition techniques.

Everyone looking to improve their practical-shooting competition skills should start here. It is extremely clear and easy to follow. USPSA and IPSC competitors should get the most out of it.

The book is broken down into three sections:
1. classifier skills
2. match skills
3. speed and accuracy

Steve Anderson recommends all students do (1) above every time they dry-fire, and alternate between (2) and (3) every other day.

Please note that since the publication of the book, Steve no longer recommends the students do the repetitions as prescribed in the chapters. He'd rather one do timed sessions, i.e. one to two minutes per drill.

One month into the program I have already seen my times drop by entire seconds on some of the more involved drills that are standard fare at local matches.

Highly recommended!
