What is Dry-Fire?

Dry-fire training isn’t new — but with Strikeman, it’s never been smarter.

But here’s the truth: anyone can pull the trigger on an empty gun. Even snap caps can give you a basic simulation.

So why choose Strikeman?

Because we turn practice into progress. Strikeman transforms dry-fire from a guessing game into a guided training experience. Our laser cartridge and target system pair with a powerful mobile app — developed in-house by our engineers in Cincinnati — to give you real-time feedback with every shot.

You’ll get:

Detailed performance stats that track your improvement
Challenging drills and training modes to keep your sessions focused
Multiplayer and game modes to make practice more fun and competitive

How Does it Work?

Insert the included Laser Cartridge in your personal firearm. We have 18 calibers to choose from to get the perfect fit.

Set up the target on the included stand, download the free app, and you're ready to go.

Simply aim and shoot at the target, and the Strikeman app will instantly track and score your shots. You can save custom templates, review your analytics, and even share your scores with friends. Want a little more of a challenge? Check out the single and multi-player game modes and expansion targets!

Who Is Dry-Fire Training For?

You don’t have to be a professional shooter to benefit from dry-fire — and you don’t need a private range to train like one.

Strikeman is built for every kind of shooter:

Home defense users who want confidence under pressure
Recreational shooters looking to level up their skills between range visits
Competitive marksmen refining their accuracy and speed
Families teaching safe habits and having fun together
New gun owners building muscle memory and comfort with their firearm

Isn't Dry-Fire Bad for your Gun?

Short answer- nope. Dry-Fire refers to firing your gun without the use of live ammo. This might mean firing with literally nothing in your gun, or with something like a snapcap or laser cartridge instead of a bullet. When you train with Strikeman, there is a laser cartridge in the chamber that is specifically designed to protect your firing pin. Even so, dry-firing with nothing in your firearm is generally safe for most modern, centerfire firearms.
