canthitathing Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 Has anybody used the "Dryfire" laser shooting system. Looks interesting but it's a bit pricey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHunter Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 A friend of mine swears by it, but look how much real shooting you could be doing for the same price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salopian Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 All training devices have a place.I do think the Dryfire is expensive but if you can afford it or have the use of one, use it. There is no doubt that the best value for money is structured real practice preferably with a competent mentor, and that need not be expensive.

langlands Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 I use one for olympic skeet practice. It has made a difference, but it's like joining a gym, you have to put the work in not just own one. I do 300 targets four days a week, that takes about an hour including setup. Good points: practice anytime or in any weather conditions, coach yourself on your misses (the screen shows the pattern to the nearest millimetre) and a lot cheaper than shooting! Against, needs practice setting up, I use a spirit level from the pound shop and a piece of 1040mm MDF as a spacer to line it up on the wall in the same place every time (you can cut yours to suit the distance that you are shooting at) Shoulders and arms will ache every day. You will still need a coach to fine tune your posture, mount, hold points, etc, etc. If your doing skeet I suggest the twin head model (I own a single head and I am about to upgrade) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PUSC Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 i think theres another post on this somewhere. my dad bought the single headed version and swears by it and has recently upgraded to the 2 headed model, but yeah bloody expensive and like a gym. nothing can beat real practice but it is helping him on crossing birds a remarkable amount, however the limitation seems to come when it tries to recreate an overhead in a room with a 6 foot 8 ceiling....

chrismpullbang Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 Our school/college shooting team has just bought one for practice throught the winter months when we cant get to a ground in time (before sunset) I take it home most weekends and during holidays mostly to practice my ABT, coincidence or not my scores for ABT have gone from a C class to an A class in 3 months using it whenever possible Regardless of the discipline it can only help and although the initial price seems quite high, if you work the numbers if you get the whole wammp which will set you back about £900, that would get you at the current prices call it 2500 clays and carts, in the 3 monts we've had it ive shot over 9000 shots at it myself. Although it is no replacement for the real thing, if you can afford it, i would highly reccomend it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
