Transcript for Dry Fire First Steps

Krystal fires several shots at a target.

Krystal Dunn, Federal^® Ambassador and Professional Shooter: So, if you've heard of dry fire and you decide, "yes, I need to do that; that's going to be something that will help me to get more comfortable."

Well, a couple of things that you can do to start implementing this is: one, making sure that you found a good, safe place in your home, such as a garage wall or something where you know that you will be pointing in a safe direction; you've got your unloaded firearm; and there's a couple of things that you can start to work on, such as drawing your firearm, making sure that you're getting your sights and your alignment on your target, and doing a smooth, steady trigger press.

Krystal places the firearm into her belt holster.

So, for me, if I start with my firearm, again, we've made sure that it's safe and clear. I'm going to work on just focusing on my target and getting a nice, natural grip on my firearm.

So, this is something that you can practice several times to get comfortable. You can also start to practice your draw, your press out to your target, good side alignment, and a smooth, steady trigger pull.

These things will start to help you learn how to practice and get more comfortable with your firearm.
