Self analyzation versus repetition makes sense. I once stated to a professional singer that practice makes perfect and she then corrected me. She stated that perfect practice makes perfect. I then figured out that working on the perfect part is more important than the repetition.
That's very good advice on being more focused on the reps than how long we spend in minutes or amount of reps we do,, I feel like I'm stuck in uspsa B class for the last 2 years! Thanks!
Thanks Ben, I also was getting stuck on volume rather than quality during dry fire practice. So 15 minutes was lots of reps for me. Now its down to 10 minutes and 10 to 20 reps total, concentrating on grip, and/or sights, transitions, body positioning/balance. Started doing that last week, so I haven't seen progress with live fire yet, but confidence and focus is better during dry fire. Coincidentally, my martial arts instructor is also a Ben...lol
ok - but how do I know what is wrong? About sightpicture - is it my sightalingment - or my grip - or my transaction from one target to another?? How do I know what to change?
Also constant research, dry fire and live fire. Research a grip or a draw you want to try. See if it's better in times and accuracy with live and dry fire. Record the data. Be easy on yourself so you don't get frustrated though.

Let me know when you put that on a T-shirt. Some of the best advice ever.

Excellent advice.
Same goes for the gym. 98% of the people at the gym go through the motions but never see a change
This is the answer I’ve been looking for.

Nice video, but I lost attention halfway through it. 😂

You do your dry fire of what you think is correct and go to the range to validate. Dry fire is not a stand alone activity from live fire
Also constant research, dry fire and live fire.

Ask yourself. Dont lie.
