Mobile Device Which Simulates Player Motion

A training device, comprising:

• a target for sensing projectile impact, the target including a detection mechanism comprising three sheets of electrically conductive material, each spaced by electrically insulating material, wherein the detection mechanism is configured to close an electric circuit upon projectile penetration of each of:
• two of the three sheets of electrically conductive material;
• and
• another two of the three sheets of electrically conductive material;
• and
• a processor configured to interpret commands, receive and forward signals, provide control instructions to the training device, and:
• receive a first signal upon electric circuit closure resulting from projectile penetration of the two of the three sheets of electrically conductive material;
• and
• receive a second signal upon electric circuit closure resulting from projectile penetration of the another two of the three sheets of electrically conductive material.

A method of making a target for sensing projectile impact, the target including sensor panels comprising multiple layers of conductive material separated by one or more insulating layers, the method comprising the steps of:

• accessing an open mold;
• inserting support pins into the mold;
• folding, wrapping or packing the sensor panels into the mold;
• closing the mold;
• foam injecting the mold;
• removing the support pins and removing the cast target from the mold.
