Laser for dry fire training?
1/12/2011 2:01:55 PM
I was thinking about buying a bore sight laser to use for dry fire training.
I think it will show my wobble if I have a decent distance (20 or 30) feet from a target.
My google-fu may be weak but the internetz showed only variations of bore sighters and a few $600 systems.
Has anyone tried this? Do you think it would be an improvement over the usual dry firing? Any reccomendations?
Thanks in advance.

You will not be able to simultaneously intently watch your sights, and look at the laser. Just plain old dry firing will show you your wobble.
Systems like SCATT and NOPTEL have a trace function that allows you to see your wobble and where the shot was broken and where the sights were pointed when that happened.

If you have a rail, buy a cheap green laser or red and put it on.
Setup something to video the target you are aiming at and dryfire but ignore the laser's dot.
Then to see the results just watch the video.

The noptel is the only system I have tried, but it taught me more in a few months then a few years of matches could teach.

You don't need a laser to work on wobble. If you are watching the laser on the wall you are not focusing on the sights. I usually just put a black dot on the wall and stand a few inches away. You can watch the sights and see how much wobble you have.

This.
The idea is to practice breaking the trigger, (not jerking) when your sight settles in proper alignment, and you should be able to call your shot.
Don't screw your mind up with a laser, concentrate on supporting the rifle with the large muscles of your frame and with good body position.
When I relax, and have fun my off hand scores are much better.
