Laser Shooting Ranges for Training
The Laser Trainer «LaserTir»
Today, interactive trainers “LaserTir” are actively used by military units, police, schools, universities, as well as private security organizations, bodyguards, and athletes involved in practical shooting.
For private training sessions, offices, apartments, homes, recreation and training rooms for personal security personnel are equipped with laser shooting ranges.
Interest in the world
Ukrainian interactive trainers “LaserRange” have attracted interest from foreign military personnel:
USA (more details);
Turkey (more details).
The «LaserTir» trainer is a tool for express training in speed shooting
- During a single training session with “LaserRange”, a shooter can make thousands of shots.
- There is no need to travel to the range or shooting range for training sessions. Training is possible in almost any room – auditorium, gym, corridor, house, office, security lounge.
- There is no «combat recoil» that interferes with the development of muscle memory since in reality the “recoil” appears only after the shot). To get used to the “recoil”, it is recommended, in addition to daily training in the laser range, to periodically practice shooting skills on the range.
- The ability to conduct training with weapons equipped with visible and invisible lasers. During training with a visible laser, the shooter’s brain has an instantaneous visual feedback “where I hit with this position of the weapon, stance, breathing”, and then makes decisions about the necessary “adjustments”.
- Saving time, finances, and wear and tear on personal weapons.
Since the “LaserRange” trainer does not use any ammunition, the shooter saves thousands of rounds every day. Since the interactive shooting range is located at the shooter’s location, time and money spent traveling to the live-fire range or range are saved. Since the personal combat weapon does not fire these thousands of shots during training, its service life is not expended. - No risk of occupational chronic diseases that occur with regular live-fire training.
According to the statistics in the scientific work cited below, more than half of regularly training shooters have musculoskeletal disorders (5,300 out of 10,000!). Children and adolescents are at particular risk:
Intuitive shooting
It is known that in order to develop the skills necessary for intuitive shooting, instinctive shooting, and the development of muscle memory, it is necessary to constantly practice with a weapon, and regularly several times a day.
One simple rule!
To learn to shoot quickly and accurately, you just need to do one thing – TRAIN!
Every day. Several thousand shots.
The “LaserRange” trainer is one of tools for express training in speed shooting skills.
Military, Police, and Security Training
The interactive “Laser Shooting Range” complex includes various programs for training security forces.
In the programs, targets are projected in realistic sizes, meaning they appear as they would be visually seen by a shooter on a firing range or a shooting range, depending on the chosen distance to the target. However, this is not enough for comprehensive training, especially when the goal is to hit targets at long distances. Obviously, in reality, a bullet travels along a specific trajectory, which depends on many parameters. The object that needs to be hit may be moving. The conditions may be windy, and the shooter may find themselves in complete darkness, having to shoot quickly during brief flashes of light.
During training at a combat shooting range or on a firing range, it is practically impossible to recreate the necessary conditions in various combinations. Therefore, personnel practice a limited number of shooting exercises.
These problems are solved by:
The "VirtualTir PRO" Program
Instructors have access to various parameters: target selection, distance to the target and its speed of movement, day/night, wind speed and direction (8 wind directions, as in reality (head-on, tail, diagonal, and side), not just left/right as in outdated programs), and so on.
Of course, the program allows for factoring in real ballistic characteristics (which differ depending on the weapon). Additionally, the instructor has the option to enable the aiming point display mode. In other words, what the instructor previously had to explain “with their fingers,” such as how the bullet flies and what adjustments need to be made for movement and wind, the shooter can now clearly see the aiming point under various shooting conditions when the “training mode” is enabled.
Despite all of this, the program is easy enough for an instructor to use without specialized computer knowledge.
Trainings with programs like “Test Shooting”, “Anti-Terror”, etc., are also available, allowing personnel to achieve a relatively high level during comprehensive training sessions.
Laser Shooting Range for Schools, Colleges, and Universities
For educational institutions, a simplified version of the “Virtual Shooting Range” program is provided, allowing for more engaging and high-quality military training for students and making the instructor’s job easier.
A school laser shooting range can be set up in practically any room in the school – it could be a “Homeland Defense” classroom, any other classroom, an auditorium or gymnasium, or even a hallway.
When installing a school “Laser Shooting Range,” the principal and military training instructor don’t need to worry about students accidentally injuring each other or bystanders. The “Laser Shooting Range” is completely safe.
Additionally, the “Laser Shooting Range” is used for various city shooting tournaments among students.
For Security and Bodyguards
It is obvious that poor training of a bodyguard and security personnel can cost the life not only of the protected person, their family, but also the guards themselves.
Therefore, today, «Laser Shooting Range»
is an integral part of a modern ‘lounge and training room for security’ in a cottage.
Many guards and bodyguards understand the importance of training and are willing to dedicate their free time to improving their professional skills – reaction speed, shooting accuracy, and physical fitness.
A specially equipped lounge and training room for security includes not only sofas with a TV, but also an area for training with strength machines and an interactive «Laser Shooting Range».
For Sports and Home Training
Since the laser shooting range does not require a specialized installation space and is completely safe, it is an excellent solution for home training of athletes and shooting enthusiasts.
Now, between visits to the combat shooting range, it is possible to additionally train at home and in the office, diversifying the usual dry-firing with thousands of shots anytime during the day. You also won’t have to spend time and energy running to the targets to see the results and reset the poppers.
A set of programs for practical shooting, taking into account the specifics of the rules and targets, has been prepared specifically for athletes. Now, unlike dry-firing, the shooter immediately receives feedback and understands whether there was a hit, and in what zone. This allows for promptly making adjustments to their training.
