ST3 featuresTiming
The clock starts when you fire
Shot detection on Marksman ST3 is a detector on the trigger guard. Nothing goes down the barrel. The scenario answers in about 1 ms, so the break, the lead, and the follow-through stay tied to the moment you fired.

What you can train
- 01
Honest timing
A late picture teaches the wrong lead. The answer arrives with the shot.
- 02
Your release
On clays, a voice puller lets you call the target. The time from the call to the shot is yours.
- 03
As on the field
One choice is the firearm as you use it outside. A bolt rifle reloads with the bolt. A shotgun reloads when you break it open.
- 04
Easy on the pins
The other choice is a shot detector behind the trigger. It works on all rifles and shotguns, so the firing pins stay easy.
- 05
The gap you can see
Reaction time has a floor. The trace shows the gap between the gun starting to move and the shot landing.
What you see
- 01
Call
You call the target, or the scenario presents it.
- 02
The gun moves
The trace marks when the barrel actually starts.
- 03
The shot
The screen answers about 1 ms later. Scoring and the record use that same instant.
Realism, safety, ethics
A fast picture is not a trick. It is how the correction stays attached to the movement that caused it.
Questions
How fast does Marksman ST3 register a shot?
A detector on the trigger guard registers the shot. The picture answers in about 1 ms. Nothing is inserted in the barrel.
Does the shooter call the clay?
Yes. A voice-controlled puller lets you call the target yourself, so release-to-shot time is yours rather than the machine's.
Can you reload as you do in the field?
Yes. You can use the firearm as on the field. A bolt rifle reloads with the bolt. A shotgun reloads when you break it open. Or you can place a shot detector behind the trigger. That works on all rifles and shotguns, if you want to take it easy on the firing pins.
Can a detector spare the firing pins?
Yes. Place a shot detector behind the trigger. It works on all rifles and shotguns, so the firing pins stay easy. The other choice is to use the gun as on the field.
The rest of the system
Figures are published Marksman ST3 specifications: 0.18 MOA tracking, about 1 ms from shot to screen, 235 calibers, 4,700+ rifle and handgun profiles, and 12,600 shotgun combinations.
