Frequently Asked Questions

What are key principles for effective pistol dry fire practice?

Frank Proctor emphasizes that the primary benefit of dry fire is achieving correct visual feedback of sights and mechanics. This practice is crucial for developing accuracy and should be prioritized, not just seen as a precursor to live fire.

How can shooters improve rifle transitions according to Frank Proctor?

To improve rifle transitions, lead with your eyes towards the target before moving the weapon. Looking through the sights while initiating movement can cause you to overshoot the target; let the gun follow your gaze.

What is the recommended setup for a weapon-mounted light on a rifle?

A rifle weapon-mounted light should be positioned forward enough to avoid barrel shadowing but far enough back from muzzle brakes to prevent lens fouling. Ease of activation for target identification and prioritization (PID) is essential.

Why is aimed fire considered more effective than rapid fire in tactical situations?

Aimed fire is more effective because achieving accurate hits on target quickly is paramount. Fast misses require significant time to correct, making controlled, accurate shots more efficient and tactically sound.
