The ST-2 shooting simulator from Marksman Training Systems is the first shooting simulator for shotgun and rifle shooting designed specifically for demanding users, such as shooting instructors who give professional shooting advice. Anyone, whether new to or experienced in shotgun or rifle shooting, can use the simulator to improve his or her shooting skills and enjoyment of the sport.
The simulator can be used with most shotguns and rifles. The camera sensor that registers gun movements and shooting direction can be easily attached to the barrel of your own gun. The shooting direction is calibrated by a single shot at a calibration target. The shooting scenarios include moving and fixed targets. Starting position, trajectory, and speed of the targets are parameters that can be altered by the user, creating a wide variety of scenarios to practise on. Hit position and the effectiveness of the shot are evaluated according to all contributing factors: ammunition load and weight, range, target size, trajectory and speed.
| Configuration | Shotgun disciplines |
| Single projector | Fixed target – Sporting clay- Double Trap (ISSF rules) – Hare |
| Bird shooting: Mallard, Pheasant, Grouse | |
| Trap (ISSF rules) – Skeet (ISSF rules) |
The diagnostics provided by ST-2 after a shot illustrates how you missed; reveals why you missed; shows if you have correct gun fit, and helps improve your shooting technique to increase success in the field and competition.
Hit position in relation to the target and the number of pellets that have hit the target.
The replay is a unique feature for the ST-2. Use the instant replay to track the path of your swing.
Competition shooters in several countries use the ST-2 simulator for their training.
We are very proud to announce that one of them won an Olympic medal in London:
Read below what Danka Bartekova of Slovakia, Womens Skeet Bronze medalist in the 2012 Olympics, has to say about our simulator.
“I have been using the ST-2 simulator in my Skeet shooting training. I am very happy with it. I think the practice with the ST-2 simulator helped me with my mounting and with precision training, so I find it very positive part of my training every spring, before the season starts…!”

It’s the ultimate indoor sporting entertainment for charity events, special occasions or for a pre-season warm-up with members of your shoot.
BASC’s advanced shooting simulator will give your guests the chance to try shotgun shooting in a realistic but safe and controlled environment. Whether shooting at simulated moving clay targets or live quarry, the experience is fun, competitive and instructional.
Although specially designed for professional shooting instructors, the BASC shooting simulator gives new shooters an enjoyable introduction to an exciting sport and experienced shots the opportunity to analyse and improve their performance. Now it’s available to hire for your event.
The system works by projecting a computer-generated shooting scenario onto a large screen, while the program tracks the movement and firing of the gun via sensors attached to the barrel and trigger – the client’s own gun can be used if required. A wide variety of clay and live quarry targets are presented with realistic speeds and trajectories. If you smash a clay or hit a pheasant on the simulator, then you will have done so in real life.
The simulator program keeps score of the hits and misses and records and replays the dynamics of each shot so each user can see exactly how he or she has performed – great for competitive corporate challenges but equally fantastic fun for youngsters and guests at weddings, parties or other informal events.
The simulator can be used as a valuable coaching tool for shotgun instructors and serious shooters. Birds are only killed if they are hit with a sufficient number of pellets with the required energy and size, making the simulation as real to life as possible. Forward allowance must be the same as in field conditions and the ammunition must have the necessary energy and penetration to register a kill on live quarry.
Ammunition, choke, load weight, pellet size, pellet material and speed of the load are all adjustable depending on the quarry you intend to shoot.
The replay functions and diagnostics provide top-quality information on gun mount, eye dominance, gun movement, lead and timing, providing excellent feedback to the user to help them improve their shooting. The Shooting Simulator has been used by professional BASC shotgun coaches for a number of years to improve the skills of experienced shooters and introduce newcomers to the sport.
The Simulator currently has a number of scenarios including:
Take aim against glorious grouse, flighting duck, pheasant or sporting clays with the most advanced shooting simulator of its kind. The realistic and interactive shooting scenarios provide the perfect opportunity to compete and learn in a virtual and safe environment. It is great fun for all the family, whether you are an experienced shot or have never shot before.
