How ST3 works
Marksman ST3 is a professional shooting simulator made by Marksman in Sweden. A wireless optical tracker follows your rifle, shotgun, or handgun at 0.18 MOA. Training uses a projected scenario — not a VR headset, laser projection, or live ammunition — with about 1 ms response.
Your firearm → Wireless tracker → Projected scenario → Session analysis
Mount the wireless optical tracker on your own rifle, shotgun, or handgun. The shot detector clips to the trigger guard.
Face the projected scenario with the real firearm in your hands. No live ammunition is fired into the screen.
The system records the shooting interaction so you can review aim, movement, point of impact, and ballistic behaviour after the session.
Why accuracy matters
A simulator helps when the hit you see is the hit you made. Optical tracking is what lets you judge aim, lead, movement, and point of impact — and then read that against ballistic behaviour.
The tracker follows the firearm, so mount and aim are measured rather than inferred from a laser spot.
Moving targets stay meaningful when the track keeps up with the swing.
Hit position is read against the scenario and the ballistic profile, not against a beam on the wall.
Replay, reaction time, and pattern review use that same record.

Accuracy comparison
Professional ranges choose Marksman because hit placement matters. Our patented tracker maps real shots to the screen without laser projection — from the 1 MOA ST-2 generation to today's 0.18 MOA ST3 platform.
0.18 MOA. Because simulation is only useful when it's accurate.
650×
More precise than laser
ST3 at 0.18 MOA versus typical laser simulators at ≥ 2° beam divergence (about 120 MOA) — a 650× precision gap before you count ballistics, real-gun support, or scenario depth.
Relative precision
Training stack
Marksman ST3 uses a wireless weapon-mounted sensor and screen mapping — not laser projection. Training stays aligned with real rifles, shotguns, and handguns, authentic trigger weight, and ballistic feedback at 0.18 MOA class precision.
Relative precision
Training stack
The ST-2 shooting simulator established Marksman's 1 MOA class accuracy (about 1 cm at 100 m) with a wired tracker and real rifles and shotguns. ST3 refines the same approach with a wireless sensor at 0.18 MOA for tighter groups and stricter validation.
Relative precision
Training stack
Laser-based shooting simulators project an IR spot from the barrel. Divergence, screen reflectivity, and room lighting commonly limit practical accuracy to several degrees — far below professional MOA standards.
Who we serve
Marksman ST3 serves three primary training worlds on one optical tracker: defense and counter-UAS, law enforcement decision training, and hunting & sporting — all with real firearms at 0.18 MOA precision, not laser projection.
Defense and C-UAS units train on Marksman ST3 with 0.18 MOA optical tracking and real ballistics — scenario generation for unmanned aerial threats without laser projection.
Law enforcement agencies use Marksman ST3 for shoot/no-shoot and CQB decision drills with real sidearms and rifles — about 1 ms latency and full session replay.
Hunters and sport shooters train driven game, clay, and field scenarios on Marksman ST3 with real rifles and shotguns — 4,700+ ballistic profiles and 1,000+ scenarios.

Post-session diagnostics
Every session leaves a trace. Replay movement, read hit position against ballistics, measure reaction time, and review KPIs before you step back on the line.
Replay the full shooting sequence. Barrel speed, mount timing, and follow-through are logged so you can spot technique drift frame by frame.
See where the shot landed against target trajectory, ammunition, choke, and pellet data — the same factors that decide impact in the field.
Measure release-to-shot timing on clays and driven targets. Compare runs across a session to tighten sporting lines under pressure.
Sort hits and misses across a stand. Build a pattern from saved shots to decide what to adjust before the next round.
After each session
Aggregated metrics across disciplines — exportable for coaching and progress tracking.
True-to-life training
Train with your own rifle, shotgun, or handgun — real trigger weight, real mount, real follow-through. Scenario tools keep safety in the story before you head outdoors.
Rifle, shotgun & handgun training uses live firearms, not laser inserts. Authentic trigger break, bolt-action repetition, and tracking that respects how you actually shoot.
Add hunters, beaters, and safety poles to scenarios. Practice identifying safe lanes and hold points before field days — obstacles stay visible on screen, not left to imagination.
Previous generation
This film shows an earlier Marksman installation. ST-2 is the previous generation: a wired optical tracker at 1 MOA. ST3 is the current product — wireless tracking at 0.18 MOA. The footage is here because it shows the same idea: your firearm, a projected scenario, and no laser pointer.
Previous-generation Marksman ST-2 footage: clay, driven game, and rifle training with real firearms. ST-2 used a wired optical tracker at 1 MOA. The current product is ST3, with a wireless tracker at 0.18 MOA.
Marksman ST3 serves three primary training worlds on one optical tracker: defense and counter-UAS, law enforcement shoot/no-shoot and CQB drills, and hunting & sporting disciplines. The same platform also supports retail ranges, hunters' federations, schools, private enthusiasts, and competition shooters — with real firearms at 0.18 MOA precision, not laser projection.
Marksman ST3 tracks shots to 0.18 MOA class precision with about 1 ms latency. Typical laser shooting simulators are limited by beam divergence to several degrees — roughly 650 times less precise than ST3 before accounting for missing ballistic calculators, limited real-firearm support, and shallow scenario libraries.
Both use Marksman's patented optical tracker with real firearms, not lasers. ST-2 delivers about 1 MOA (roughly 1 cm at 100 m). ST3 refines the same architecture to 0.18 MOA for tighter group analysis and stricter professional training standards.
Yes. Marksman simulators are built for real guns — including bolt-action rifles, shotguns, and handguns with authentic trigger weight. That is a core difference from many laser trainers designed for modified or lightweight practice firearms.
In practice, yes. Marksman installs projector-based virtual ranges for hunting schools, sport shooters, law enforcement, and defense training — with ballistic calculators, clay disciplines, and big-game scenarios.
We like VR for gaming — not for serious firearms training. A headset sits between you and your rifle, shotgun, or handgun, so you lose sight of the real weapon: mount, stock weld, and follow-through no longer match what you do in the field. Rendering adds latency on top of that, and it rarely feels like shooting a real gun. Marksman ST3 keeps your actual firearm in your hands and maps hits to a projected screen at about 1 ms.
Yes. Marksman ST3 installs in dedicated home training rooms, basements, and garages — the same tracker core used at commercial ranges. Use our room planner to check ceiling height and wall width, then contact us for a home installation quote.
Marksman is a professional shooting simulator brand from Sweden. The ST3 platform uses patented optical tracking at 0.18 MOA with your real firearms — rifles, shotguns, and handguns — not laser projection or VR headsets.
