Laser target shooting system

The place for general talk about gun, shooting, loading, camping, survival, and preparedness related tools and gear, as well as gear technology discussion, gear reviews, and gear specific "range reports" (all other types of gear should be on the back porch).

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.

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.
