I don't dry fire much, what I do is a sight acquisition and proper technique, Especially with a scope, IMO there is very little more frustrating than seeing game with your eyes or binoculars then you can't find it again in the scope. I practice acquisition a lot, the higher the magnification the harder it gets. Spotting birds in the back yard and laying the scope fluidly and accurately without having to hunt for the bird (much) is good practice. Especially important at night or low light at higher magnification. Trigger control has never been much of a problem for me. The set trigger on my go-to rifle has a really light trigger, I mean touching our eyeball light.

Picking up a good sight picture with a pistol quickly and accurately is also something to practice.
