Dryfire for Defenders

Seated Draws & Barricades 

***BEFORE STARTING ANY DRYFIRE TRAINING, DOUBLE & TRIPLE CHECK THAT YOUR GUNS & MAGAZINES ARE EMPTY. NO LIVE AMMO SHOULD BE IN YOUR TRAINING AREA.***

Pistol

1. Trigger Control At Speed, 10 Reps 
2. Seated Draws, 3 minutes
   • Use your concealed carry gear
   • Remain seated while drawing
   • Work on drawing straight ahead, left, & right
   • Trigger discipline is critical here since you may muzzle your legs during a draw to the left or right
   • One way you can avoid muzzling yourself while drawing across your body while seated is to rotate the gun’s muzzle horizontal to the floor once it’s clear of the holster
3. Reloads, 5 Reps (Goal: 1.5 sec) 
4. Barricade Leans, 10 Reps (Goal: ~9.0 Sec)
   • Setup: See the diagram above; targets should simulate approximately 12 and 24 yards
   • On the buzzer, engage Target Array 1 from the left side of the barricade and engage Target Array 2 from the right side of the barricade
   • Alternate starting from both sides of the barricade 
   • Ensure you’re getting the correct sight picture and making the appropriate trigger presses based on target difficult (i.e., don’t just rip off 2 fast shots on the farther targets or right side headbox)

Rifle

1. Slow Fire Trigger Control, Standing (simulated 25 yards), 10 Reps
   • Try to make these 100% perfect with zero sight movement
   • Really pay attention to the tension in your firing hand while pulling the trigger
2. Ready-ups (High), 10 Reps (Goal: 0.8 sec)
3. Reloads, 5 Reps (Goal: 2.5 sec)  
4. Barricade Leans, 10 Reps (Goal: ~8.8 Sec)
   • As always, ensure you’re actuating the safety as you transition across the barricade.
