Interactive system and method for shooting and target tracking for self-improvement and training

A gun-resembling device configured for capturing targeted images and trigger movement comprising:

• a gunstock;
• a barrel;
• a camera for capturing image data of said targeted images;
• a inertial movement unit for capturing movement data of said device;
• a trigger sensor for detecting trigger movement;
• a processor being interfaced with said camera, said inertial movement unit, and said trigger sensor and configured to process motion data captured by the inertial movement unit and quantify the data;
• memory for storing said captured image data, said movement data, and said trigger movement;
• and
• a battery for powering said device;
• wherein said inertial movement unit, said processor, said memory, and said battery are integrated into said barrel.

A method for simulating hunting comprising:

• using a sensor to capture movement data of said firearm;
• using a camera to capture image data of said sighted target;
• determining the relative position of said target within the field of view of said camera;
• receiving a trigger event;
• determining the probability of a hit;
• and
• activating an alarm if said probability of said hit falls within a certain range, and wherein the method is executed by a processor.
