Hunting and skeet shooting simulator
 
Hi, I'm a new hunter and I'm working on a hunting/skeet simulator to improve my skills in shooting.

These things are already on the market, both for hunting and shooting practice and for law enforcement use of force training. The one I bought for my agency is called the F.A.T.S. machine. They are also being used for hunter education and military combat training.

Not only that, but I think his post is against the rules since it appears to be more of an advertisement than anything else and that violates the rules of HN!

Top, the one I bought in 1988 cost over 30 grand, they aren't for the average person. I have no idea what they cost now but I am certain it is a lot more.

I agree, but the simulator I'm working on, is "Homemade" anyone can get it with low cost.

It doesn't matter what it costs. You are trying to sell something on this site and the only place the site allows that is in the Classified Section. You may want to read the rules for the site because I have a feeling that a Mod will delete your posts since they are in the general forum section. I see in your profile that you are from France. Can you own a gun and shoot in France like we can with very few, if any, restrictions in most places here in the USA?

France! Perhaps he knows the Coneheads.:biggrin: Topgun gave you some good advice on moving your post to the classified section.

I'm not trying to sell it, low cost = the price of the laser and projector, my softwar is free, and not yet stable (reson for what I'm here, hoping for finding true hunter ready for sharing their expreriences)

So you're going to develop this new software at your cost and give it free to whomever wants to use it. Is that what you're saying?

The softwar is already at 60% done, check it in my site: www.badrnfo.com/STC
I'm looking for worldwide skeet rules and hunting needs to add it for future updates.
Developping this software costs me nothing, I'm working on it on my free time, and is it, and will stay free for helping new hunters improve their skills.
Check my site and my video to understand exactly what I'm talking about.

Okay, thanks for your immediate replies to my questions and comments. It sounds like maybe I jumped the gun and what you are doing is A okay! Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and good luck with your endeavor!

I use a SIRT firearm training platform which is very similar - webcam picks up laser "impact" on the screen, if it hits in the assigned target area on the screen area, the computer processes a hit.

I have $200 into the SIRT program, wanna say $200 into each Glock and S&W dedicated laser pistol, $100 into repeat firing SIRT AR bolt carrier laser. Any instantaneous laser works, so the laserlyte lasers work too, but the SIRT guns don't have to be manually cycled to reset the striker/hammer like an actual firearm+laserlyte system must be.

So $30 grand in 1988 is compressed down into a much, much smaller cost today. For something on the scale the OP is discussing, it can be bought already packaged for under $300 (laserlyte shotgun adapter plus SIRT software).

Good, it is true that a camera is needend to process a laser hit, please whold you mind for giving me a link for your low cost laserlyte shotgun adapter ?
