Cowboy action dry fire practice with the 1897 shotgun

[Alex McKr]

For those cowboy action enthusiasts who run a Winchester Model 1897 shotgun(or clone):
Over on the sass wire forum, top cowboy action shooter: "Widowmaker" presents a 3-video series, where he demonstrates dry fire practice techniques geared toward developing greater speed and efficiency, when running the '97 in competition.
Though focused on the 1897, there are still some aspects of his techniques that can carry over and adapt to other platforms, ie: double barrel coach gun, 1887 shotgun, etc. Including: shell positioning, gun staging and manipulation, practicing with a shot timer, etc.
Definitely worth watching.

Garand:
Videos were posted this past Wednesday. Original post by Bladesmith. Captioned: "What's your dry fire routine? Should locate it on page 1....a couple of spots down from a post titled: "Bullseye for shotgun loads."

If that doesn't work, search(Google) under: sass wire forum. Widowmaker dryfire routine, the original Bladesmith post appears. May have to scroll down a bit, until the videos appear.

ps: Slapping my own forehead. Might have avoided some confusion by putting this info in my original post. Put it down to "Oldtimers". Or, maybe my Stetson's on a little too tight.
