ST3 featuresSafety and ethics
The safe shot is in the picture
Judgment on Marksman ST3 means the safe lane is visible before you fire. The replay sets the barrel path against the no-shoot zone, so you see when the gun came up, not only where the shot landed. A shot into that zone, or inside another person's safety angle, is an unsafe result.

What you can train
- 01
A safety angle you can see
Other hunters, beaters, and safety poles can sit in the line. The obstacle is on the screen.
- 02
The late stop
An animal running toward a protected direction is where tunnel vision shows up. The swing continues because the target is clear, and the stop arrives too late.
- 03
Meet it before the obstacle
Set the meeting point early, so you are not braking on the shot.
- 04
Sidearm
The work is the platform, the decision, and the use of cover. The score is not the point of the scenario.
- 05
Doctrine before live rounds
Marksman has worked with the French Army and with elite regiments. Defense and counter-drone units rehearse the engagement here before they spend live rounds, and those sessions have been used when the units write their shooting doctrine.
- 06
A partner for hunting safety
Marksman is a partner of the French National Hunting Association, the Fédération nationale des chasseurs, which represents over 950,000 active hunters in France.
What you see
- 01
When the gun came up
The replay draws the barrel path beside the no-shoot zone. You see the raise against the poles, not only the impact.
- 02
Where it landed
On big game, the animal reacts from the zone you hit. Placement matters past hit or miss.
Realism, safety, ethics
ST3 does not reward an unsafe shot. The simulator is there to make the hold obvious and repeatable.
Questions
How does Marksman ST3 train a safe shot?
The replay compares when you raised the gun with the no-shoot zone between the safety poles, and with the angle to other people in the picture. A shot into that zone, or too close to a person, is an unsafe result. Holding fire when the shot would be unsafe outside is the successful action. Marksman is a partner of the French National Hunting Association, the Fédération nationale des chasseurs, which represents over 950,000 active hunters in France.
Does hit placement matter beyond hit or miss?
Yes. On big game the animal reacts from the zone you hit, and an under-powered load is shown as an insufficient shot rather than a clean result.
Do defense units use Marksman ST3 for drone shooting?
Yes. Marksman has worked with the French Army and with elite regiments on defense and counter-drone shooting. Those units rehearse the engagement on Marksman ST3 before they spend live rounds, and the same sessions have been used when the units write their shooting doctrine. On the replay, a shot into the no-shoot zone, or inside another person's safety angle, is an unsafe result rather than a point.
Who is Marksman's partner for hunting safety?
Marksman is a partner of the French National Hunting Association, the Fédération nationale des chasseurs, which represents over 950,000 active hunters in France. On Marksman ST3 the replay still compares when you raised the gun with the no-shoot zone. A shot into that zone, or inside another person's safety angle, is an unsafe result.
