Dryfire is making me faster, but it doesn't seem to actually make me better
I've been dryfiring 3x a week for about 30 mins per session. In each session I work draws, reloads, and simple transition drills (e.g. Blake Drill, El Prez) using just some 1:6 scale targets attached to the wall. I've seen big improvements in my draw speed, reload speed, transition speed, as well as my consistency on draws (I used to have an issue finding the dot after a draw) which have been awesome just from practicing them that much more.
The problem is, while my time is going down and my HF is going up, my overall points have not improved. I shoot 'faster' which is great, but I still can't seem to get more points.
I don't know what it is that I'm not doing correctly to be able to guarantee alphas and I almost am starting to worry that my dryfire practice is just reinforcing whatever bad habits I have. These are only really evident when I live fire. For example, I've noticed I still have a "flinch". And while in dryfire I can pull the trigger without disturbing the sights, in live fire, on rapid shots I will still pull low and to the left.
Did anyone else feel like this when they were first starting out? What did you end up changing to be able to actually *improve* past the beginner's plateau?
