I bought a Beamhit system after playing with it at SHOT
It works decently well.
They had a VERY cool VR system, but its about 10K - would be an excellent thing for training CCW/police/soldiers, etc though - they have a version which can run multiple lanes, mimic how people fall depending on where they are hit, etc.
Really, I would think any professional trainer would want the single user version - it would be very useful to work on draw/target transition/trigger control, without the distraction of live fire. (And, the safety issues of teaching a new shooter movement at the same time you are introducing them to shooting - I think it would seriously compress the learning curve.)
At SHOT, they were using a high quality AR airsoft to demo their system.

Beamhit. That's it. We had a different backstop, however.

Re: Laser target shooting system
If you have to ask the question, you already know the answer. Save your $$ and do some traditional dry-fire practice - all you need is an aiming mark on the wall, your EMPTY pistol and your eyes. You first practice keeping the sights aligned with one another (this is often a function of grip), then keeping the front sight steady in relation to the aiming mark while you control the trigger.JKosprey wrote:I guess the bigger question is if I'm better off spending that $$ on more ammo. It's certainly more fun.
