Week TWO: Back2Basics

Monday – Wednesday – Friday

No Holster Required

  • Always verify that your firearm is completely unloaded. Avoid handling ammunition and keep it at a safe distance while dry firing. Make it a priority to learn and strictly adhere to essential shooting safety rules. Your safety and the safety of those around you depend on it.
  • While this is for a 30-minute dry fire session, use my G341 method to adjust it according to your schedule in 15-minute increments.
  • Stretch the forearms, neck, shoulders, and legs for 1-2 minutes to improve body movement.

Warn-up

  • 4 min – Aim at a target with your pistol, focusing on locking your wrist and enhancing grip strength by engaging your forearm muscles for at least 15 seconds. Do not press the trigger.
  • 1 min – Rest

Trigger press drill 1

  • 4 min – Aiming at the target, remove the slack from the trigger until you feel the “wall” (prepare the trigger) without fully pressing it. Maintain the grip and muscle engagement used in the previous drill. Do this multiple times!
  • 1 min – Rest
  • 4 min – Repeat
  • 1 min – Rest

Trigger press drill 2

  • 4 min – Prep the trigger three times without fully engaging it (get to the wall only). Then, complete a full trigger press on the fourth attempt while maintaining the firm grip and muscle engagement we practiced in the previous drill.
  • 1 min – Rest
  • 4 min – Repeat
  • 1 min – Rest

fINAL dRILL

  • 4 min – Prep the trigger three times without fully pressing it. Then, complete a trigger press on the fourth attempt. Keep aiming for at least ten to ten-fifteen seconds after pressing the trigger, maintaining grip strength.

Are your forearms ok? 🙂

Tuesday – Thursday – Saturday

No Holster Required

  • Sights/dots should have minimum movement when pressing the trigger
  • The main goal is quickly releasing the trigger and removing the slack until you find the wall (prep the trigger).

Warn-up

  • 4 min – Prep the trigger three times without fully pressing it. Then, complete a trigger press on the fourth attempt. Maintain the grip and muscle engagement for 15 seconds after pressing the trigger. Focus on the target (red dot) or the front sight.
  • 1 min – Rest

Sight Picture drill 1

  • 4 min – Analyze what needs to be done to keep the dot/sights from moving “too much” while pressing the trigger reasonably fast. Make corrections and take notes (e.g., more support hand pressure, less shooting hand pressure)
  • 1 min – Rest
  • 4 min – Repeat the previous exercise with corrections. Make notes.
  • 1 min – Rest

sight picture drill 2

  • 4 min – Prep the trigger (finding the wall) multiple times while moving the gun to various positions and angles, ensuring that the sights remain aligned or that you can always maintain a visual of the dot. *Avoid fully pressing the trigger.*
  • 1 min – Rest
  • 4 min – Repeat
  • 1 min – Rest

Final drill

  • 4 min – From the ready position, aim at the target and quickly acquire your dot or front sight. Immediately press the trigger when they are aligned with the target. Get used to rapidly acquiring the sights or dot in perfect coordination with the trigger press.
