[QUOTE="airborneescouter, post: 2972891, member: 128412"] When I was in the army we’d dry fire in the unsupported prone position with a coin, usually a dime or penny, on the end of the barrel and make sure you could pull the trigger without knocking the coin off. Would help with trigger control/breathing/etc but my biggest lessons were obtained simply shooting at the range. Breathing, trigger control, getting into a comfortable and supported position to hold steady are staples for me. You may or may not have the convenience of getting to the range frequently but you can practice shooting fundamentals without firing live ammo. Get a snap cap for whatever caliber you’ve got and practice aiming/dry firing at a small target in your basement. YouTube is full of experts but the snipers hide guy has some good instructional videos [/QUOTE]
