Dry-firing
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).

Henry Kissinger said, "Military Men are just dumb, stupid animals to be used as pawns in Foreign Policy" and has not denied this quote to this day.
