REALISTIC IN-DOOR SHOOTING IN A SIMULATED ENVIRONMENT
Projection of natural scenarios over a 180 degrees wide screen background with quadraphonic sound provides a realistic setting for the simulated shot training. Live animated targets are projected against the background with movements adapted to the terrain in a convincing way.

The shooter uses his own personal hand gun which is loaded with a special laser cartridge that starts to radiate an invisible infrared light when the shotgun is closed or the rifle bolt lever is operated. The light beam communicates triggering as well as gun movement to the detection circuits in the console where powerful sound synthesis and hit calculation software are cued by the operation of the trigger.

The simulator provides instant feed back of the shot result with a visual indication of hit or miss against the background, at the same time as all the relevant parameters including gun movement before and after triggering are graphically drawn on the console monitor screen. Each completed shot series is instantly linked from the simulator to an external PC, enabling the shooter to retrieve the data and continue the process of learning by repeatedly viewing his own or others performance in the HitSim Analyser program.

You may experiment with settings such as calibre and choke, various types of ammunition including charge weight, velocity, size of pellets and type of charge metal. But above all you will learn to consider target movement and distance, train on gun mounting techniques and finding the correct forward lead for appropriate charge delivery. Regardless of previous experience or level of training you will find that the simulator offers challenges and efficient training which no other method of practising can match due to its unsurpassed level of feed back.

The simulator is brutally honest in its reply to performance, and hence it requires an open mind and a good portion of natural self respect to deal with. Above all, simulator shooting is great fun!
