Get faster.
Without firing a shot.
Draw, reloads, transitions, trigger control — most shooting skills are built at home with an unloaded gun. Three ready-made plans, 15–25 minutes each, zero ammo.

Why dry-fire works
Speed is built dry
Draw, reload, and transitions are pure mechanics. You refine them without recoil and without a single shot.
Zero ammo cost
Progress without spending on rounds or range fees. Every session costs exactly nothing.
Train at home
All you need is a blank wall, a holster, and 15 minutes. No drive, no lane booking.
Frequency wins
Three short sessions a week beat one long range trip a month. Skill grows with reps, not calendar events.
The 50/50 method
Every session splits in half: fixed fundamentals and focused weakness work. That's how competitive shooters train — and how these plans are built.
Core
Draw, reload, transitions — in every session, in every plan. Fundamentals never stop mattering, so they never leave the plan.
Focus
The second half targets one area: trigger (A), timed benchmarks (B), or movement (C). Rotate the plans and you cover it all.
Finisher
A short closer — one drill at full intensity before the gun goes back in the safe.
Three plans, one rotation
Start here
Dry-Fire A — Fundamentals
Draw, reload, and pure trigger work. The shortest session of the three — and the one everything else is built on.

Classic benchmark drills run against the timer. Measure your pace, log the numbers, watch them drop week over week.

Built-in tool
Shot timer? It's already in your browser.
Every plan above runs on par times — and the timer is built right into DrillLane. Start beep, par, stop beep. No app, no extra gear.
Millisecond-accurate beeps
Scheduled on the audio clock — even 0.3 s pars stay honest.
Reps run themselves
Set par, reps, and rest — the timer runs the whole string for you.
Random start delay
A 1–4 s hold before the beep, just like a real shot timer.
Range commands
"Make ready", "Stand by" — the same cadence you hear at a match.
Every dry-fire drill page has a Timer button with the par time pre-loaded.
The weekly rotation
Monday A, Wednesday B, Friday C. Three sessions, under an hour total — and in one week you've covered trigger, benchmarks, and movement.

Safety rules — every single time
1. Unload, then verify twice
Drop the mag, rack the slide, check the chamber visually and physically. Then check again.
2. No ammo in the room
All live ammunition stays in another room for the entire session. No exceptions.
3. Safe direction always
Aim only at a wall that would stop a bullet. Never toward people — walls don't count as cover.
4. End out loud
Say "training is over" and put the gun away. Once it's loaded again — no "one more rep". Ever.
