Firearms training doesn’t have to be complicated.
Learn the fundamentals. Practice with purpose. Measure your performance. Use the results to figure out what needs work next.
This is where you’ll find the drills, assessments, concepts, and resources we use at Casual Firearms to help shooters improve.
Live Fire Drills
Structured practice for the range.
Some drills isolate a specific skill. Others combine multiple skills into a single exercise. Either way, the goal isn’t simply to shoot the drill faster. It’s to give your practice structure and help identify what you’re doing well and what needs work.
Dry Fire Drills
You don’t need ammunition to get meaningful practice.
Dry fire gives you an opportunity to work on things like presentation, grip, vision, transitions, reloads, and gun handling without paying for every trigger press.
Assessments & Standards
Practice develops skills. Assessments measure them.
Our assessments and standards are designed to give you repeatable ways to measure performance, establish benchmarks, and track improvement over time.

Fundamentals & Philosophy
Knowing what to practice matters. Understanding why you’re practicing it matters too.
This is where we dig into the ideas behind the shooting: how we think about vision, accountability, confirmation, grip, movement, shot calling, speed, and the other concepts that influence performance.

Terms & Definitions
Shooting terminology isn’t always used consistently.
Our Terms & Definitions provide a common language for the concepts discussed throughout Casual Firearms, so when we use a term, you know exactly what we mean.
Measure Your Progress
Training should produce measurable improvement.
Keep track of your performance, establish goals, and periodically put yourself to the test. We’re doing the same thing.
