Dry Fire Planning with Travis Denman
We are huge advocates of dry fire at SOFLETE. If you didn't know, we have an entire program designed around daily dry fire and weekly range work. A lot of the time we get clients that need a little basic explanation to get started. SOFLETE homie, Travis Denman does a great job breaking down his dry fire practice setup in this video.
Understanding the Limitations of the Flat Range with Aaron Barruga
Take a few minutes to listen to Aaron pitch some wisdom about the limitations of closed feedback loops in our training regimen, and then shoot the SOFLETE Shooting drill for the day. We suggest you warm up with Guerrilla Approach's Consistency Target as well.

-
Any round that misses the "-0 Zone" equals a point down or a penalty.
-
A round that impacts in the "-1 Zone" equals a 1-second addition.
