So I want to know what you are doing to keep your self proficient when in the off season or just plain out too busy to actually go shoot. I just went to the range for the first time this year and really noticed how rusty I had become on the trigger. I know some people have ranges right off the back deck of their house and can shoot when ever they desire but some of us city folk just can't do that without a visit from the local authorities dressed in their finest tactical clothing!!! (Guess you get to see what your local police have for gear though!!! :p )
 
Dry firing a centre fire, with or without a snap cap, is a long recognized training technique for trigger control, breathing and sight picture. Door knobs at the end of a hallway make good aiming points. Dry firing is kind of fun too.
Just don't do it in front of a window. Nosy neighbours have been known to call the local constabulary any time they see a firearm.
 
What sunray said. Dry fire the crap out of it to keep yourself in tune with your trigger. Then what I always do when I get out to the range is dry fire again 4-5 times just so that the first time I pull the trigger I am positive the gun and I are one...haha. No its just gets me in the grove so I don't shank the first one.
 
I was thinking airgun as well.

Dry fire doesn't give you any tangible results. I mean I could pull the triggers a million times and still not be doing it correct.

With an air gun, I could practice in my basement and be able to see exactly what my sloppy trigger pulls equate to down range. Granted it is a short distance but dry fire gives me nothing to work with (other than lovingly fondling my rifles).
 
I used to go to the indoor range with a .22 lr I have. This is a fantastic little russian .22 that weighs a ton, its a single shot and has T/R type sites and the trigger is better than some of the ones i see on F-class rigs. It's great practice for breaking triggers and shoots amazing.

In spite of the beliefs of some , dryfiring has tremendous benefits. Top coaches and shooting schools would not advocate it if it was of no value.
TSEC in Georgia, USAMTU at Fort Benning, Scheissportschule all train using dry firing.
Rimfire and especially air rifle is also beneficial training. Confidence in the equipment and ammunition goes without saying is mandatory. Just like in the highpower game. Excellent devices for training and feedback are the SCATT and RIKA electronic trainers. Either one costs as much as a good rifle.
