Speed ​​pistol shooting and a simulator to improve your technique

We will devote the next article within the section of our website “Trainers and training devices for athletes of various disciplines” shooters from weapons such as gun. We have previously talked about training devices and simulators for archers. Now it's time to pay more serious attention to weapons. So, this is dedicated to everyone who likes to periodically feel the trigger of a pistol under their finger...

The device in question is actively used mainly by athletes who shoot with pneumatic weapons to assess their level of preparedness, as well as to adjust them in the direction of improving their performance. shooting techniques and key speed indicators.

In addition to professional athletes, high-speed pistol shooting is actively practiced by representatives of security forces and rapid response teams, law enforcement agencies, and, of course, the military. In general, the device is used by all those who have to deal with weapons, and for whom accuracy and speed in terms of fire training are vital.

A simulator for improving high-speed aimed shooting techniques.

The device serves for urgent information when improving high-speed shooting techniques.

The three-channel recorder records the movements of the finger when practicing the trigger, the vibrations of the pistol and the moment of rotation of the targets (Fig. 1). A seismic sensor was used to record the gun's vibrations. The movement of the finger while practicing the trigger is recorded using strain gauges mounted on an elastic spring under the trigger. The target rotations were recorded using a SPED-56M seismic sensor.

As you can see, the set of devices we are considering is focused on shooting and high-speed shooting primarily from a pistol, but, as you understand, such a training scheme can be easily transferred to a rifle and other types of small arms. The main thing in this matter is:

1. Recording vibrations of the weapon itself,
2. Fixing the impact on the trigger,
3. Clear statistics of target positions.

In conclusion, we note that this set of devices has gained incredible worldwide popularity among shooters from almost all countries. It has been adopted everywhere and is included in the mandatory minimum equipment for shooters and their coaches, without which it is simply impossible to train a professional-level athlete.
