Integrating Live Fire and Dry Fire

Training, it's a lifestyle.

February 15th, 2012

A typical morning with Next Level Training in the Pacific Northwest. Live/Dry Fire Training with a SIRT Laser Pistol. In this video is founder Mike Hughes (TopShot) and training partner Britt Lentz. Britt and Mike train live fire every Tues and Thurs from 7:15am to 8:30-9:30am. The integration of live fire and dry fire is critical to maximizing time on the range.

Draw: Isolating Technique, Pushing Ourselves

August 9th, 2011

We were working draws and focusing on the fundamental technique from concepts to the actual technique. The concepts include only recruiting muscles required to accomplish the desired task. The practical techniques include driving the finger tips to the gun. This progression of videos has an undercurrent of pushing ourselves and not being content with where we are at and driving our abilities to push harder.

NLT Performance SIRTification Course

July 27th, 2011

NLT Performance conducted its first SIRTification course 7/16- 7/18. The course filled to capacity with a short two week notice. The 16 trainers that attended were a fantastic group. The course consisted of a first day of lecture and practical exercises. The second day followed up on the range with live fire.
Although the course is geared for instructors, the information is valuable for any shooter. We received fantastic feedback from the course participants. The next course is at the NLT Facility and NLT range on 8/13 and we are signing up trainers to sponsor a courses at their location. The second video is a final test on day two. All the shooters had a blast finishing this stage. This is a 500 m run with targets along the way. The test is not previewed by the shooter. The student holsters the pistol between shooting positions. The Top Shooter was George Williams of CuttingEdgeTraining.org.

Live Fire and Dry Fire Barricade Shooting/Awkward Shooting Positions

July 26th, 2011

This is one of my favorite drills. Shooting in a crouch, around a barricade or anything other than upright is a deficiency in our performance. Shooting in these positions is a 1000 mile journey. It takes a lot of reps to get into position and shoot fast-n-accurate.

Live Fire and Dry Fire

July 26th, 2011

I always train with the SIRT on the range even when I have a ton of ammo. Basically I work my shooting skill sets with drills and then go live. This saves time from loading mags, but moreover I tend to push my self harder when I shoot dry. In part because I am not burning $.20+/round, but in the end my live fire is much more productive.
