    Default Re: Training with an Airsoft gun, is it worhwhile?

    Thanks for the insights so far!

    T, I have just downloaded Ben's book to my phone :)

    As others have mentioned, dry fire does get a bit boring though. I thought airsoft would add a bit of fun to training and it's human nature to want to do fun stuff rather than boring stuff. Maybe Ben's book will make my dry firing a bit more interesting.

    It's a pity the Shadow GBB is crap because it already has the same grips, sights, etc. as my real gun. Are the ASG and KJ Works brands the same thing? I wouldn't really want a different model like a 75B.

    Strange co incidence was reading up on 10m Airpistol shooting yesterday and ran into this.
    Not sure how the first one will help you keep sights in line.

    Ben's book completely revived dry fire for me. After a few weeks I actually look forward to the day's dryfire so I can chip away at those crazy par times. I would look into that before investing a lot of money into an airsoft setup

    Two things will stop it being boring .One is when you see you're results improve. The other is to make sure you're always chasing the par. Don't run par times you can make easilyour always be stretching

    I kinda bought this on seeing it in November at BNT.
    Its a magfed Paintball marker. Uses Compressed Air only in Stock.
    Full auto at 18bps.
    This thing is incredibly fun. You even get a nice recoil bump with the bolt moving.
    Me and my daughter shoot in backyard at just about anything.
    And if you want a bit more fun you go join a Sunday game where the targets shoot back.lol

    Keep a journal of your Stoeger drills. I use Excel, logging the times I can achieve every session. Among many other benefits, seeing improvement is rewarding.
