    I will agree with you on No Recoil Management, But I have been using the STRIKEMAN. I use my own firearms with their Laser Bullets when I dont have time to run to the range. It does improve with Trigger Management and Sight Management when using different Pistols.

    That’s my point. Live fire IS the only way to train recoil management. It was mentioned USPSA, the only way to get shot rhyme is to learn in recoil.

    So, if you draw with both eyes open and have your head misaligned typical with an inexperienced shooter, your sight picture will be all messed up?

    I totally agree with you on that. I can honestly say practicing with the STRIKEMAN helps with trigger and sight management.

    I’m not trying to hate on ya’lls toys. I just don’t want people thinking that’s how you become the next Jerry Miculek by some VR game. There’s pros, but we also need to recognize the cons is all.

    I don’t think there is anyone who thinks that dry fire helps with recoil management?

    VR is the best training there is, outside of real shooting. Even grand masters use ACE. Tim Herron shot 100,000 rounds in ACE his first weekend using it.

    Again, I’m saying it’s not a replacement for real shooting. Which I don’t think is a controversial take.

    I feel like you’re selling it. Tim has sponsorship/affiliation with ACE. Of course he’s going to say what he has to say and do what he has to do. That’s how shooters get paid.

    Did someone say that ACE was a replacement for real shooting? Literally no one on Earth thinks that.

    Can the trigger pull be customized, like with a SIRT pistol?

    Good, then what’s the problem?
    I’m not the one saying VR is the best training o it there while also saying live fire is the best training out there. See how that can be confusing to someone?

    I’m not confused. You want to get good, you go shoot. That’s that.

    Whatever. Carry on. Go sell it bro. You’re right I’m wrong. There’s no flaws. It’s the best thing ever. I’m sure it will lead to a plethora of open division champs.
