Dry Fire Trainer App

Hello everyone and welcome

First of all let me tell you that I'm not a firearms instructor and have not won any national or regional competitions.  I have owned firearms for the past twenty something years and in June of 2009 I took the safety check for IPSC and competed a couple times.  It was my intention at first to compete in a very infrequent manner.  However the more I participated the more hooked I became.  I began to look for more and more economic ways to train.  I bought a .22 conversion kit for my Glock, which I highly recommend, as a training aid.  I purchased a training trigger that allows me to pull the trigger without having to move the slide.  I've bought books and dvds.  I would like to also recommend Refinement and Repetition: Dry Fire Drills for dramatic Improvement by Steve Anderson.  The format for the drills is one that I highly recommend and is one that I borrowed.

I read somewhere that Dry Firing for 10 minutes equalled 500 rounds in the range.  Now maybe it was the gullible or the cheapskate in me but I thought to give this training technique a go.  In my defense I will say that I had not ever competed in any shooting sports so I had never heard of the technique.  It wasn't till much later when I really started digging for more information that I realized just how important it is to your training regimen. 

I bought a timer to help me with my training early on but realized that I wanted something more something very programable, that offered visual aids and maybe some commands.  I wanted something that help recreate the moment before the match started as close as possible.  As time when on a more clear image of what I wanted formed and it ended in the product before you.

Please comment on the product and let me know which drills you are practicing and the improvement the app is having in your training.
