This guide details the setup and use of the Mantis Raven Home Dryfire Projection System, as presented by Cara from Mantis at SHOT Show 2026. The system offers a comprehensive dryfire training solution with multiple modules and levels, designed for both consumer and professional use. It emphasizes affordability and accessibility for improving shooting skills at home.

This video demonstrates a practical shooting training drill focused on improving movement and target engagement under simulated match conditions. Instructor Ben Stoeger utilizes agility sticks to create dynamic shooting positions and emphasizes varying scenarios to build comfort with diverse stage challenges. The training incorporates engaging steel and paper targets from different angles and while moving, with a focus on aggressive shooting and adaptability.

This video addresses how to redirect firearms practice when experiencing a plateau in progress. The instructor, Joel Park, suggests reducing match frequency to increase live-fire training, introducing novel drills, and maintaining a mindset of perpetual dissatisfaction to drive incremental improvements. He emphasizes the importance of documenting progress through benchmarks and understanding that improvement can be granular and occur over longer periods.

This video by Ben Stoeger, featuring Pranka, focuses on reading target patterns to diagnose and improve shooting technique, specifically trigger control. It emphasizes analyzing shot group deviations from the aiming point to identify mechanical flaws, such as pushing the gun left or following the sights. The instruction highlights the importance of hand stability, conscious trigger press, and mental engagement during live-fire exercises as a training tool.

This video details the 'Bunny Stacks' drill, designed for improving close-range, high-speed shooting proficiency. Instructor Ben Stoeger emphasizes the importance of seamlessly integrating predictive and reactive shooting techniques, engaging closer targets with rapid 'dot press' and further targets with 'color confirmation'. The drill aims to develop unconscious competence in target transitions and pace management, while also highlighting common errors like tensing up and poor sight alignment.

Ben Stoeger explains the use of tape on a firearm's optic, a technique called occlusion, as a dry fire training tool. This method forces the shooter to focus on the target rather than the Red Dot, promoting better sight alignment and target acquisition. It's particularly useful for rifles where the optic is closer and more prone to being stared at, helping to identify and correct the habit of focusing on the aiming device.

This video demonstrates a challenging move and shoot drill designed to improve rapid firing capabilities under pressure. Instructor Lenny McGill emphasizes shooting five rapid shots per target across three targets, totaling 15 rounds, with incremental forward movement. The drill aims to break shooters out of the double-tap cadence common in competition and build practical self-defense accuracy.

This video details a practical shooting drill designed by Ben Stoeger to improve the integration of movement and shooting. The core concept is to disconnect lower body movement from the shooting action, encouraging shooters to engage targets while slightly unstable or in transition. Key takeaways include practicing a ready-to-move stance, maintaining target focus during movement, and blending shooting and movement phases for efficiency.

This guide details the installation and use of the CoolFire Trainer system, a CO2-powered device that adds recoil simulation to dry fire practice. Expertly demonstrated by a competitive shooter, it covers setup, operation, maintenance, and integration into a broader training regimen. The system aims to improve grip and trigger control by mimicking live-fire feedback during practice sessions.
