Your Dry Practice Plan: 1 – 31 August 2020

By , on



August’s dry practice results.

This Month’s Skills

Nothing much to report this month. I spent the first half of the month refreshing skills I haven’t worked in a while. I’ve noticed a couple of things I’d like to smooth out in my draw stroke, so I spent the second half of the month working that.

If anyone is actually reading these let me know. I have put a lot of effort into some of the earlier posts this year and the numbers for them are embarassingly low. If it’s helping someone I’m glad to keep writing about it; otherwise this is just going to be for my own accountability.

My Results

June was much better for me than May. I got back on track and didn’t miss a day. Six months of this year are behind us and I have only missed three days of dry practice. So far I’m up to 24 hours of firearms practice in dry practice alone. Minutes quickly turn into hours and it’s not hard to find ten minutes a day. What have you done?

Below are my day-by-day results of the past month.
