Frequently Asked Questions

What is the White Paper Drill and how does it improve shooting?

The White Paper Drill is a firearms training exercise focusing on deliberate aiming and trigger control. By repeatedly aiming at a single point on a white paper target and firing (or dry-firing), shooters build confidence that their aim point matches bullet impact, directly enhancing accuracy.

How can I improve my shooting accuracy according to John G. Johnson?

John G. Johnson suggests addressing common accuracy issues like poor grip, stance, or trigger control. He recommends practicing the White Paper Drill and utilizing dry-fire training with tools like the HTS Dry-Fire Bullet Insert to build confidence and refine technique.

What is the HTS Dry-Fire Bullet Insert used for?

The HTS Dry-Fire Bullet Insert is a device that fits into a magazine, allowing for safe dry-fire practice without causing the firearm's slide to lock back. This enables realistic trigger and cycling practice, crucial for developing muscle memory.

What are common mistakes that lead to inaccurate shooting?

Common mistakes include excessive trigger manipulation (pulling the shot), an unstable grip or stance, and dipping the head to align sights rather than adjusting the body. The White Paper Drill helps identify and correct these issues by providing clear feedback.
