As a proprietor of long-range marksmanship instruction, it often comes up, how to get the best bang for your buck. Especially in days like we’re seeing now.
“How do I maintain proficiency on a small amount of ammo?”
Sure you can always dry-fire, and I recommend that you do. But like many others, I find that to be boring at times. It gives feedback, but to what degree?
I’m only a details guys about certain things; while others times I’m ok with “good enough for government work.” To be honest that’s why I rarely handload ammunition. I’m not a half-moa shooter most days and your average “match-grade” ammo and rifles exceed my needs.
So I decided to put together a training video of what a common day at the range looks like for me.
Give it a watch and tell me what you think, or how you are maintaining proficiency.
