We have found that training with lasers is fun, practical, and you can teach different types of gun handling in an indoor environment. It is completely applicable whether you are a junior or an adult, a first-time shooter, or a very experienced shooter.
The lasers and targets we use are primarily from Laser Ammo. They are both red laser and infrared lasers that fit inside the chamber and barrel while providing a red knob at the end indicating it is a laser. These are the best ones we have used, and we recommend them to anyone interested in laser training. They also have ones that fit on rails and fit rifles and shotguns.
Laser Ammo’s SURESTRIKE Ultimate edition IR- 4 Calibers in one. Rifle (.223) and pistol 9mm, .40 S&W, and .45ACP with a safety pistol rod with red knob at the end.
Our first winter training in 2019 was in December and focused on keeping your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot and keeping the barrel pointed down-range. Many other safety features were discussed at the beginning of class as a reminder to all, like: A gun is always loaded; know what is behind your target; never point a gun at anyone; if the firearm is a semiautomatic, take the magazine out first before clearing it; always use a chamber safety flag; and more.
Moving to an actual firearm (CZ Shadow) with a laser insert and reactive targets (from Laser Ammo) in a firing line with a duplicate firing range on the left for competition.
This training was designed to make the student safe, a better shooter, and have fun at the same time. Hitting a reactive target that has both sound and a light that goes off in a one-on-one competition get the adrenaline going, and these juniors really enjoy it.
