Abstract
The embodied invention features a combination display with four individual displays to facilitate handgun training with a laser firing hand weapon. The first is a target display with a skeletal hand-arm position of a trainee. The second is a side view of the skeletal hand-arm position. The third a target display to provide for viewing the shots as they hit the target. The fourth display is a side view of the trainee as seen by a video camera. All of the displays are recorded during a laser target practice and are immediately available for the trainee to view and learn about correct positioning and stability.
