We cover the classic Nintendo game “Duck Hunt” from time to time. (take a look at some earlier posts below and then get back to this one, we’ll wait.) Today, we found a very serious shooting simulator from Marksman Training Systems AB called the ST-2. It is designed for shooting instructors and from the excerpt below, you can see this is no toy.

Shooting
The simulator can be used with most shotguns and rifles. The camera sensor that registers gun movements and shooting direction can be easily attached to the barrel of your own gun. The shooting direction is calibrated by a single shot at a calibration target. The shooting scenarios include moving and fixed targets. Starting position, trajectory, speed of the targets are parameters that can be altered by the user creating a wide variety of scenarios to practice on. Hit position and the effectiveness of the shot are evaluated according to all contributing factors: ammunition load and weight, range, target size, trajectory and speed.

Diagnostics

- Illustrates how you missed
- Why you missed
- If you have correct gun fit
- Helps improve your shooting technique to increase success in the field and competition

We Say
: No pricing yet, but my guess is that unless you are Bill Gates or some other very bored billionaire, this one is not showing up in the home anytime soon.
