you can learn a lot from dryfire, IF you have the self discipline. You can learn a lot more with airsoft and .177 pellets, too. But all of that is still sadly lacking in 90+ % of shooters today and was non-existent in cowboy days. Btw, it's a crock that shooting is a "perishable skill". Once you get truly good, you can go for decades without touching a gun and still beat 90% of shooters. If you can dryfire, use airsoft and .177, and fire 500 rds a year each thru rifle and pistol, you'll still be able to beat 99%. I know this for a personal fact.
I agree with this.
