Dry Fire Training: Best Practices and Pitfalls?

[theowilder]

Hello everyone.

I'm curious how others incorporate dry fire training into their regular practice routines. What specific skills have you found improve the most, such as trigger control, sight alignment, or draw consistency?

How often do you dry fire each week, and for how long per session, without risking burnout or bad habits? Do you rely on snap caps, laser systems, or simple unloaded practice, and why?

I'm also interested in how you track progress and stay motivated when there’s no recoil or noise.

Finally, what common mistakes should beginners avoid when starting dry fire training at home safely and effectively today?
