Dry-firing is the act of breaking a shot on an empty chamber. In regards to practicing National Match Highpower, this means the utilization of all normal equipment in a safe and sterile environment – such as a basement, hallway or backyard (well away from any live ammunition of any kind!). A shot taken in dry-fire is meant to be taken exactly the same way as a shot taken in live fire. More importantly, the reverse is true: A shot taken in live fire, whether in competition or in practice – should be taken exactly like a shot taken in dry-fire.
Short of the time personally allotted, there are zero costs associated with a dry-fire routine. They can be as short, long or frequent as time permits. Any of our modern rifles, suited for Highpower competition – are designed to be dry-fired. Absolutely no damage will occur from doing so. (Quite the opposite actually: triggers like to be used, bolt carriers like to be moved back and forth and it’s always a good idea to keep one’s sling in use to prevent any shrinkage before the next competition).
