Training with a Virtual Target System

A lot of people ask me how they can do training without actually going to the range. And the easy answer is, well, you have to go to the range if you wanna practice your defensive firearms training. But the iMarksman system does give you an opportunity to train right inside your own home doing some things even better than you can do against paper or steel targets on the range and then doing many other things that really you can get a one-to-one kind of practice on. Things like reading the targets, reading the scene, deciding when to shoot, your trigger manipulation, your extension to the first shot, and your presentation to the first shot from a holstered position. iMarksman is a very sophisticated system that's available for a very inexpensive price, and also that is very efficient to use.

We can go through a series of things like random target presentation that are actually going to allow us to have to deal with different targets showing up. Some are no-shoots, and then eventually you may see something that's a shoot target. We're gonna be able to read those red lines, the movement of the actual muzzle, we're gonna be able to read the white dots, the circles that actually tell us where we get our hits. Random targets are just one thing that we can do on the iMarksman system. We also can get in here and deal with video targets.

So we also can come in here and pick a movie, maybe a movie that we made right out in the front yard here of me, and if I see a gun present itself, I'll then be able to take shots and it actually will freeze the action and let me see where those shots went and at exactly what time they went. Also we can do another mode where we might be able to actually see a video play all the way through and then we'll go back and that's in a script mode that's especially helpful if you have a training partner or an instructor, and let something play all the way through and then go back and look at our shot times and our split times. The nice thing about the iMarksman system also is that not only will it use specific lasers that are designed exclusively for training and packaged with the systems, we also can use things like this laser light, barrel insert laser that I was just using on this Beretta. The SIRT, inside of an AR, the SIRT bolt, we also have shotgun adapters that we can put into a shotgun and use virtually any defensive tool that you're gonna have for home defense, for professional use in law enforcement or security, or of course that you're gonna carry concealed in a public environment. The iMarksman system gives you the opportunity to train at home or maybe with a group at your local club, your local gun shop.

Maybe an indoor range that in addition to the live fire, they also wanna put one of these iMarksman systems in. If you have the access to one, or if you're interested in actually using one at home yourself, I suggest that you really take a look at the advantages that this systems offer. Both in an inexpensive nature, its flexibility, and its ease of use, its efficiency. Quite honestly, I've had less than an hour of training myself, and I already have a handle on being able to do custom backgrounds, custom targets, scripting for my students, and of course just working on basic marksmanship with a static target and any variety of laser training inside of a firearm. The iMarksman system is definitely worth taking a look at when you need to get ready for your worst case scenario.
