Practice shooting in the comfort of your own home, anytime and as often as you like. Our laser targets and RedShot laser cartridges, or a SIRT training pistol from NextLevel Training, make it possible to do just that LASER TARGETS Imagine having laser targets that simulate steel plates, poppers, and silhouettes. Targets that show your hits as you shoot, and clang with the gratifying sound of 9mm striking steel. Targets that wirelessly send your hits to the Shooter Make Ready app on your smartphone or tablet so you can actually see and evaluate your speed and accuracy. You can keep it simple with one or two laser targets a short distance away. As your skills improve, add more targets and mix up the course of fire for more challenging scenarios. Up to eight laser targets can be arranged anywhere within a 50 foot radius, in the same room or throughout a building, for full 360 degree training scenarios not possible with camera and video based systems. A built-in rechargeable battery provides up to 36 continuous hours on a single charge, and will fully recharge in under 2 hours using a Mini-USB cable and charge adapter. REDSHOT LASER CARTRIDGE Our RedShot laser cartridges feature a bright red laser housed in a high quality brass casing with an activation pad designed to absorb the impact of the firing/striker pin for safe, dependable operation in your firearm. The cartridge is rimless so it isn’t ejected during normal use. The laser has a wavelength of 635 nm which is designed specifically for consistent, reliable operation with the widest range of dry fire target systems that use visible red light, including our Shooter Make Ready laser targets. SHOOTER MAKE READY APP The Shooter Make Ready app automatically connects to up to eight laser targets. Choose a Course Of Fire (COF) from five available in the app: Steel Training, Saturday Steel, React, Practical Shooting, and Friend Or Foe. Each COF is designed to help you develop specific skills to hone your speed, accuracy, and decision making. Range Officer commands can be enabled to direct the start of the Course Of Fire: “Are you ready?” “Standby!” followed by a 300ms start signal “Beeeep!”. Press the Start button on the Shot Timer screen and begin shooting at the start signal. Even a par time stop signal can be configured for time-limited shot strings. A Shot Timer view captures and displays target hits, cumulative times, split times, and overall scoring for each Course Of Fire. A Targets view shows target hit locations and features a sight picture visualization tool and shot correction chart overlays for analyzing shot groups. WHAT IS DRY FIRE PRACTICE? Dry fire practice is the activity of practicing firearm handling skills for training purposes, without the use of live ammunition. It is widely recognized by shooting enthusiasts, shooting competitors, law enforcement and military trainers, and firearm instructors as an extremely effective means for learning and improving firearm handling skills. Dry fire practice develops muscle memory through repetition, allowing the shooter to learn how to act and react safely, rapidly and instinctively while manipulating a firearm. It is proven to be extremely effective for developing and honing skills such as proper grip, stance, draw, presentation, ready position, target acquisition, natural point of aim, sight alignment, sight picture, trigger control, follow through, reloading, target discrimination, and movement and cover. Many firearm trainers suggest that dry fire practice should constitute 70-80 percent of your overall firearm training. The usual recommendation is to train for about 20 minutes 3-5 days a week, but practicing just 15 minutes twice a week will still greatly improve your shooting skills and build your confidence.
