[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 3027552, member: 8873"] This is an aspect of dry firing I employ. When the firing pin drops (dry) and your reticle isn’t still on target or very close, you have a fundamental issue (positional, improper trigger manipulation, a jerk or flinch of sort, or failure to follow through). I will have the students make adjustments and dry fire till it stays on target. I’ve read and heard it said that it only takes a few thousandths of an inch (the width of a human hair) at the stock of the rifle to move point of impact a half moa. Whether on the range or on a long range shot at an animal (if time permits) I do a few dry fires to check my position and what I call “knock the stupid off” of myself.😂 I also try to instill one’s ability to call your shots and spot your own impacts/misses. If you can do such especially prone supported), you probably did everything right up to that point (fundamentally). This is also where having someone watch or you watch yourself (video) helps. I can stand behind someone and watch how the recoil and rifle move upon firing and tell if their position was good. [/QUOTE]
