Dry Fire Practice

Read full description

Dry Fire Practice is a calm dry-fire training app for sport shooters who want repeatable pistol, rifle and shotgun practice without turning training into noise. Build a focused dry-fire routine: - Choose pistol, rifle or shotgun drills built around 10 deliberate reps - Practice trigger control, hold stability, natural point of aim, mount and follow-through - Keep each process step visible during the session - Mark reps manually or use optional microphone-based click detection during active sessions - Calibrate click detection for your training setup - Rate every session and run another set when the work is good - Set reminders and keep your daily habit visible - Track sessions, dry reps and streaks; Dryfire Pro adds volume, achievements, full history and rep timing Dry Fire Practice is designed for ISSF-style pistol shooters, rifle shooters, shotgun mount practice and anyone who wants structured dry fire at home, at the club or before a match. Safety stays central. Before dry-fire training, always point in a safe direction, confirm the firearm, airgun or training device is unloaded, remove live ammunition from the area, use a safe practice area, and follow your club, range, competition and local safety rules. Microphone input is optional and used only during active sessions and calibration. The app shows when it is listening.
