Juggling school, team practice and three clay disciplines can be overwhelming. As a member of the Jacksonville University Clays, Skeet, and Trap Team, I don’t always get as much live practice as I’d like. That’s why I started looking for other ways to keep my skills up, and turned to simulators.
My first experience was with DryFire, a projector-based system my family bought for home. Living in the Northeast, I quickly realized how valuable it was to train indoors during those long winters when ranges were closed or the weather was too harsh. With DryFire, I could practice trap with my own shotgun, right in my house. It was a game-changer, but not a perfect solution. The setup took space, required calibration and once I left for college I couldn’t bring it with me.
