Ballistics

The model for external ballistics have been developed in association with The British Association for Shooting and Conservation (BASC).

Improving standards

Shotgun shooting whether it be clays or live quarry shooting differs from many sports in that sometimes it is difficult to know exactly what happened when you miss. You know you missed, but was it due to incorrect mounting, stopping the swing, or are you misjudging range or speed of the target When using a rifle when out stalking or controlling pests even if you can see the hit position, the problems are very much the same, particularly when shooting at moving targets.

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.

Sergei S. Planovskiy

Trainer in Chief of the National Russian clayshooting Team:

"This is the best simulator existing today designed for coaching purposes of clay shooters in the  trap, double trap and skeet disciplines.

The ST-2 is an analytical simulator which allows a shooter to master the basic element in trap and double trap shooting including education of correct control of target visual perception:

1. sequences in the distribution of central and peripheral vision;

2. education to sequences of the central vision moving at moment of waiting for the target release;

3. at moment of target release and in process of the aiming and, finally, firing a shot.

This is very is important both for beginners and for those who have already reached a higher qualification in clay shooting shooting."
