Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a precise target practice that simulates long distance shooting using a 25 meter target. By scaling all factors in a scenario, soldiers and shooters can effectively train precision shooting skills on a 25 meter platform. The simulated range target is a tool that gives precision rifle shooters a legitimate and realistic simulated long-range shooting target that is placed at short distances from the shooter. The offset overlay helps to simulate several changing variables that a shooter may encounter when taking a long-range shot, such as bullet drop, distance, wind direction, wind speed, and other exterior ballistics factors and variables that affect a shot or the trajectory of the fired bullet. The invention allows shooters to replicate a rifle scope's view while aiming away from the intended target in order to achieve the correct hold for all of the factors involved in that specific engagement, thus achieving simulated long-range shooting at a short distance.

Problems solved by technology

However, finding an indoor or even outdoor range to practice long-range shooting skills can be a challenge.
Moreover, outdoor long-range shooting ranges often cannot be used in difficult weather conditions.

Abstract

The present invention provides a precision target that can be used to simulate long distance shooting at a short distance. Soldiers and other shooters may simulate long distance target practice by using a short-range target that simulates multiple ranges or distances. The targets precisely scale various factors in a given scenario, such as target size, target range, wind and other exterior ballistics. The targets may also take into account several changing variables that a shooter may encounter when taking a long-range shot, such as bullet drop, distance, wind direction, wind speed, and other exterior ballistics factors and variables that affect a shot or the trajectory of the fired bullet in order to make the target practice accurate.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 509,673 entitled “Simulated Range Targets With Impact Overlay” to Justin C. Bergeson, filed May 22, 2017, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Military personnel and other recreational marksmen such as hunters train in order to become more proficient at long-range shooting. However, finding an indoor or even outdoor range to practice long-range shooting skills can be a challenge. Moreover, outdoor long-range shooting ranges often cannot be used in difficult weather conditions. Thus, a need exists for a solution to help develop long-range shooting skills with the convenience of a short-range target. Such a solution may be used on a base, at an indoor or outdoor shooting facility at a short range, or when a member of the military is deployed.SUMMARY OF INVENTION[0003]The present invention provides precision target...
