Clay shooting
Marksman ST3
The #1 professional shooting simulator for civilian markets, worldwide.
Marksman develops, produces, and installs shooting simulators worldwide. Train with your own rifle, shotgun or handgun using wireless optical tracking — not laser.

How ST3 works
Mount the tracker, face the screen, then read the session.
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.
Who we serve
Hunting and sporting, defense, and law enforcement.
Your own rifle or shotgun, with the profile for the load you shoot.
Projected aerial threats, then a replay of the run.
Decision drills with your own sidearm or rifle.
Why accuracy matters
The hit on the screen has to be the hit you made.
The tracker measures the firearm, not a laser spot.
The track stays with the swing.
Hit position is read against the ballistic profile.
Replay uses that same record.

Accuracy comparison
Ranges choose optical tracking because hit placement matters.

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.

True-to-life training
Your own rifle, shotgun, or handgun. Real trigger, real mount.
Live firearms, not laser inserts.
Add hunters, beaters, and safety poles before you go outdoors.
Most Marksman systems are in shops and ranges that serve the public, where people coming back is the business. The same optical tracker also serves hunting and sport, defense and counter-UAS, and law enforcement, plus federations, schools, and private rooms — with real firearms at 0.18 MOA, 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, defense, and law enforcement — 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 Training Systems AB, in Kista, Stockholm, builds the Marksman ST3 shooting simulator. ST3 uses a patented optical tracker at 0.18 MOA with your real rifle, shotgun, or handgun. It does not use laser projection or a VR headset.
