Varför välja simulatorn från Marksman Training Systems AB?

Vid lerduveskytte kan det många gånger vara svårt att veta vad man gör för fel när man bommar ett skott. I många andra sportgrenar t.ex. golf, tennis, bowling ser man direkt vad man gjorde för fel. Tränar du med vår simulator får du tydligt och otvetydigt reda på vad som hände vid varje skjutet skott. De ser var skottet var placerat även när du bommar och - inte minst viktigt - hur du förde vapnet innan du fyrade av. Träningen blir effektivare. Genom att spela upp skotten i efterhand kan du kontrollera sådana saker som swing, timing, eventuella avfyringsfel, mm.

- Både simulatorn och utomhussystemet ger möjlighet till träning utan skottlossning, vilket innebär mindre miljöpåverkan och ökat antal träningstillfällen. I stället för att vara en vackert-väder-aktivitet kan träningen bedrivas året runt.

- Man kan på ett enkelt sätt studera hur faktorer som hagelnummer, avstånd och trångborrning påverkar hagelsvärmens täckning.

- Genom speciella funktioner för att mäta siktningsfel som beror på dålig kolvtillpassning kan en instruktör utnyttja systemet för att ge råd om stockning av vapnet.

-  En unik egenskap med vår simulator är att den kombinerar de viktigaste egenskaperna hos en bra simulator i ett och samma system:

      •  en högupplöst och ljusstark bild som visas med en datorstyrd video-projektor med allt vad det innebär i flexibilitet och möjlighet till utbyggnad med nya skyttegrenar kombinerat med:

     •  extremt tydlig visning av skjutresultatet inklusive återuppspelning av bössans rörelse i slow-motion. Här kan man se om man stoppar upp rörelsen, om man gör något avfyringsfel, om avfyringen sker för tidigt, etc.  

- Simulatorn är rolig att använda genom realismen man upplever när man skjuter på lerduvor och på viltmål: lerduvor går sönder, fåglar fälls till marken.

- Svårighetsgraden kan anpassas till varje skytt, från nybörjare till tävlingsskytt.

- Simulatorn är byggd för att var portabel och kan normalt sättas upp i en ny lokal på mindre än en timme. Det kan därigenom utnyttjas av fler användare.

- Systemet är enkelt att använda genom att det körs som ett vanligt Windowsprogram med funktionstangenter för snabbval av alla funktioner.

- Systemet är helt ögonsäkert eftersom inget laserljus används. Genom den unika och patenterade metoden att registrera pipans rörelser, kan vapnets rörelse innan i skott visas mycket noggrant.

- Simulatorn utgör en komplett audiovisuell miljö för visning av DVD-film, storbilds-TV, etc. Idealiskt för visning av instruktionsvideo kombinerat med praktisk skytteträning.

- Simulatorn ST-2 är en plattform för fortlöpande uppgradering och utveckling. Hårdvaran i kombination med alla funktioner är programstyrda och ger möjlighet till uppgradering med nya skjutgrenar och skjutscenarier. Våra kunder är de som i sista hand bestämmer hur simulatorn skall utvecklas. Därför tar vi tacksamt emot önskemål om nya grenar och funktioner!

Torbjörn Larsson, Studiefrämjandet Nordvästra Södermanland:

Nyttan av att träna med simulatorn ST-2 från Marksman Training Systems AB:

I lilla Flen kör vi en jägarskola om året, jag är ansvarig för Studiefrämjandet i Flen och är även skytteinstruktör i Flen jaktskytteklubb och vill gärna tala om fördelar att träna med skyttesimulator innan man ger sig på de skarpa vapnen. Under våren 2007 träffades gruppen på Studiefrämjandet i Eskilstuna och tränade en kväll med simulatorn ST-2, först och främst på att göra riktiga anlägg samt att lära sig stå på ett bra sätt. Eleverna fick skjuta på frångående duvor och "haren" när man lärt sig att träffa tavlan på ett riktig sätt. Efter ca 15-20 min kunde jag få elever som aldrig skjutit med en hagelbössa att träffa på ett bra sätt och det beror på den fina analysen av skjutna skott som gör att instruktören och eleven omedelbart kan se resultatet. När eleverna började skjuta med skarpa skott på skjutbanan fanns ingen rädsla varken för rekyl eller smällen och det tror jag beror på att man lärt sig hålla vapnet rätt och fått en inblick hur skyttet går till. Av 11 elever var det bara 4 som tidigare skjutit med en hagelbössa och tilläggas bör att alla klarade uppskjutningen med bravur. Så min uppfattning om simulatorskytte är att den bästa hjälp som finns för en skytteinstruktör är simulatorn ST-2 från Marksman Training Systems AB.

 

Alexander V. Mitrofanov

Managing director of the Russian Shooting Union:

"The contemporary sport is not only a competition of psychological physical abilities of the athletes, but, in greater degree, of modern technologies, used in process of coaching.

Modern technologies created by human being, increases an athlete’s possibility in achievement of higher result. The analytical shooting simulator Marksman ST-2 is a good example. The ST-2, without exaggeration, is the unique optometrist-electronic system, allowing completely simulated clay shooting in indoor conditions giving a high grade information feedback to acquire shooting techniques in shorter time."

 

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."

 

 

Ivan A. Derevskiy

Senior trainer of the Junior Russian team of trap shooting

Ex-member of the Russian National team:

"The ST-2 simulator renders the immeasurable help for acquiring of shooting skill for beginners by showing how it is necessary to move, look and prepare to shot.

It shows very clearly all mistakes in shooting technique both of the beginners and of shooters of higher qualification.

It is very suitable for working in “coach & shooter” situation, since it evaluates all actions of the shooter: the shotgun lead, time of lead, distance of hit position, moment of pulling the trigger, action of performing the shot, reaction on clay release, during making a shot.

The ST-2 simulator represents the state-of-the-art technology and is an immeasurable facility for preparing athlete of any level.

Good luck!!!"

 

Kulikovskiy E.A.

Master of Sport in exercise "Trap"

"An analytical shooting simulator like ST-2 is much needed and useful, especially for shooters of the initial cycle of the education. Some possibilities of the analytical simulator can be used and experienced by advanced shooters, in particular, give a work-out to a moving target. Simulator will help to find mistakes while  aiming the moving clay, see hit positions and gun swing, forward allowance and shot cloud center in relation of the target position, and a great deal of other valuable things that cannot be determined on the shooting field.

As a whole, simulator gives that immeasurable information when training, which can be applicable in real shooting."

 

Victor Nikolaev 

Master of Sport in trapshooting.

Member of the Trap Russian national Team

"I have once tried to shoot on ST-2 simulator. I liked it very much. I think the difference between simulated and real shooting is small. One difference I noticed was that it is difficult to judge the distance to the target at one dash and, accordingly, it is complicated to make a right forward allowance. This needs time for adapting. But generally, I consider this simulator to be very useful in the process of training. Rather engaging thing!"

 

Pavel V. Glebov 

Trainer, Master of Sport of International Range.

Ex-member of the Trap Russian national team

"The ST-2 analytical shooting simulator is unique in how it can support acquiring a good trapshooting technique. It is very useful for initial education and by giving a technical motion work-out it can vastly save time in setting the basic technique. Certainly, the simulator requires further improvement.

The video camera that can be used in he simulated environment indoors by means of which a film of shot performance can be registered, subsequently gives the shooters a possibility to see themselves from aside: so more clearly he will be able to correct their own mistakes.

For shooters of the Master of sport range and higher categories, I do  think, simulator will not render a significant assistance, except drills of perception control, as reasonably asserts Mr.PLANOVSKIY,  that of considerable importance, but beginners receive powerful support  in education of clay shooting, particularly, in their initial stage. More so, when drill is limited to short light daytime in autumn-winter period."

 

Vladimir K. Malahov 

The Honoured Trainer of Russian Federation,

Master of sports in trapshooting,

Field Judge of All-Russia category,

First trainer of the Trap Olympic champion Aleksei Alipov

"I ‘m certain to say that having got such an indoor complex as the ST-2 simulator in arsenal of shooters’ preparation, the qualitative level of the education process will raise drastically. The setting of the basic shooting technique, be that in trap, double trap or skeet, by means of simulator, may be organized more effectively and qualitative under condition of newly created methodology.

Strong points of the ST-2 analytical simulator possible to refer to are the following:

1. The simulator gives the full analysis of the made shot on clay target including ballistics and shooter movements.
2. Changing velocity flight of the clay target, it is possible to obtain the optimum motoric skill.
3. The simulator enables to work out the technique of the shot performance, work out the motor skill and muscular sensation at shooting on moving target;
4. Simulator enables as well to check the correct entry in target trajectory;
5. Simulator makes possible to adjust a stock of the personal shotgun of the huntsmen.

The simulator weak side possible to refer to is the fact that background image of the shooting scenario is not light enough and clay target is perceived not much clearly. But this question concerns the adaptation.

The Marksman ST-2 is enough interesting and useful. It is necessary to create a test group and afterwards do a final conclusion."

 

Maxim Kosarev

Master of sport of the international range on trapshooting

Member of National team:

"Marksman ST-2 is an excellent simulator for beginners and advanced shooters. Enables to change the velocity, trajectory angles and distance range of clay flight, ammo weight, choke and etc. The main thing to highlight is the fact that a shooter can use his own gun, approaching greatly the "dry" training to a real drill.

Requests:

1. to include an additional option of the shot V0 velocity equal to 440 m/sec for sporting ammo;

2. to develop a “training mode of operation” in scenario trap which would enable to set optionally parameters of the throwing targets.  

But as a whole, Marksman ST-2 is very suitable and practical."

"Certainly, the analytical shooting simulator ST-2 is considered to be the latest technology in the shooting sport range, for present-day it is the most efficient resource in preparation of clay shooters

The correct use of simulator allows to raise to a considerable extent the quality of the practice studies of shooters of different qualification.

When conducting a practice studies with beginners, carrying out selection activities (the determination of the abilities, of their co-ordination rate in shooting on moving target, reaction to the target release, etc) or in process of their preparation  to run such simulator means not only enormous economy of money and time savings, but also a higher quality of selection work.

Education work of mature shooters allows running the simulator to correct the motor actions and look deeper into mistakes, which are difficult to define in real conditions.

Certainly, for maximum use of the simulator possibilities it is necessary to manage in a perfect way the installed program, using a new methodology.

I’d like to advice to developers of the simulator to make the mounting sensor cordless in order to practice the simulator in group and make the life of the simulator longer."

 

Alexander V. Lyublinskiy

The water-fowler hunter of 10 years of experience.

"I’ve never expected that it could be possible to correct the errors in wing and clay shooting, in such a short time. Neither instructor on shooting field, where I spent lots of time and money before going hunting, nor fowling  and coursing, did help me to cope with sloppy shooting. Firstly, simulator helped me to use a perfect forward allowance and to avoid stopping the swing, but secondly, I learnt to enter correctly the movable target  trajectory . I became a Marksman! Shooting efficiency increased double. Formerly I spent at the average 8-10 cartridges to bag a wild fowl. Now I need 3-4 ammo to get one. A very good result for me. "

"As a New-Comer in sports shooting, I have to admit that Marksman Training simulator has provided invaluable feedback on my shooting skill or the lack of it. The simulator is able to generate an analysis or feedback on my swing path and the position of my misses. With a touch of a button, I was able to view the result of my shot, many readings could be derived from this section such as the distance of target when fired upon, timing, shots pattern etc. I would not have known this if I were to practice on the range.

It was surprisingly easy to operate the simulator with most functions assigned to “Hot-keys”. I learned operating the simulator in half a day. Mr. Andersson has been most helpful and patient in conducting this lesson besides giving some valuable tips on shooting.

Marksman Training simulator is also a fun machine with its changeable settings on almost all the shooting disciplines. For example, on clay shooting, a shooter is able to change the trajectory, speed and direction of the clay. I believe this puts some fun into the sports where repetitive practice on standard settings can be monotonous after a while".

Read what James Swan writes about the simulator after having seen in at the Shot Show in Las Vegas.

Deer and reloading in Las Vegas   It's never been easier or safer to go shooting or hunting, but let's not forget the roots of our sporting traditions   By James A. Swan, Ph.D. Author "In Defense of Hunting"

 

My feet and back are still recovering from four days of walking the aisles at the 25th annual Shooting, Hunting, Outdoor Trade Show & Conference staged in Las Vegas Feb. 12-15.

Exhibit space was sold out. Seven miles of aisles!

According to Chris Dolnack of the National Shooting Sports Foundation, the sponsor of the SHOT Show, this year's attendance will top the all-time mark of 32,000.

That breaks down into about 10,000 exhibitors and press, and the rest being buyers, as this show is not open to the general public.

The size of the show, billed as largest of its kind, and the crowd speaks to the popularity of shooting sports and hunting.

And, frankly, after checking out this year's products, one cannot help but feel it is now easier and safer than ever before for a shooter or a hunter to go out and have a good time.

The firearms manufacturers keep turning out guns that shoot more accurately. The ammo makers not only constantly refine their products, but they are moving toward a larger variety of lead alternatives — Hevi-shot, bismuth, tungsten, copper and a half-dozen others.

In wingshooting, unlike any other kind of shooting sport, you do not have any good form of feedback about where you missed because your shot goes off into thin air, instead of leaving a mark on a target.

There are several laser shooting systems out there that let you practice and develop your skills by shooting a laser beam at a screen. But I was most impressed by the new Marksman Training System from Sweden, which seems revolutionary.

On a large screen the birds fly past and you shoot like all other similar shot simulators. But after your shot you can pinpoint your shot location, enlarge the image, see the pattern of shot and where it went and even use an instant replay to track the path of your swing to see where you lost being on target.

This kind of feedback is going make people become better shots faster than ever before.
