Happy Easter, everyone! This week, I will be traveling to the non-gun-friendly state of California to visit family and enjoy some quality time together as we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Given this situation, I plan to work on my dry-firing technique without my gun and equipment.
Specifically, I will focus on visualization techniques. Even if you are at home and can access your gun and equipment, visualization is a powerful training tool often underutilized and even unknown to many. Ironically, we always practice visualization—every time we recall something from the past or imagine what might happen in the future.
Here are some benefits of using visualization as an additional training tool:
- You can imagine a dry fire session or competition and visualize performing it flawlessly.
- You can visualize shooting a stage where you made a mistake or encountered something unexpected, allowing you to address those issues and train your mind to react under pressure.
- It helps reinforce the techniques you are practicing.
| So, for this week, repeat any of the drills I shared or practice your own as you usually would do. The difference is that before you begin the drill, you will imagine performing every movement the way you want. Repeat at the beginning of the drill. Additionally, take 10 to 15 minutes before bed to do more visualizations about the drills you practiced that day. In my case, I will do about twenty to thirty minutes (unless I fall sleep) to work on my visualization. |
