The ST3 Simulator
Patented optical tracking at 0.18 MOA — not laser projection. Train with real rifles, shotguns, and handguns at 1 ms latency while ST-2 legacy platforms and consumer laser simulators fall short on precision.
Who we serve
Operational Portals
Defense and law enforcement lead the grid — hunting and sporting below, then the commercial and training profiles that run on the same ST3 tracker core.

Field footage
See hunting & sporting in action
Watch real shotgun and rifle sessions on an ST-2 installation: driven birds, clay lines, and big-game scenarios with authentic trigger weight — not a laser pointer on a practice gun.

Clay, driven game, and rifle training with real firearms on a Marksman ST-2 — the same tracker lineage behind today's ST3 platform.
Post-session diagnostics
See what changed, shot to shot
Every session leaves a trace. Replay movement, read hit position against ballistics, measure reaction time, and review KPIs before you step back on the line.
Hit position
See where the shot landed against target trajectory, ammunition, choke, and pellet data — the same factors that decide impact in the field.
Reaction time
Measure release-to-shot timing on clays and driven targets. Compare runs across a session to tighten sporting lines under pressure.
Pattern analysis
Sort hits and misses across a stand. Build a pattern from saved shots to decide what to adjust before the next round.

Accuracy comparison
Tracker precision vs laser
Professional ranges choose Marksman because hit placement matters. Our patented tracker maps real shots to the screen without laser projection — from the 1 MOA ST-2 generation to today's 0.18 MOA ST3 platform.

The ST-2 shooting simulator established Marksman's 1 MOA class accuracy (about 1 cm at 100 m) with a wired tracker and real rifles and shotguns. ST3 refines the same approach with a wireless sensor at 0.18 MOA for tighter groups and stricter validation.

Laser-based shooting simulators project an IR spot from the barrel. Divergence, screen reflectivity, and room lighting commonly limit practical accuracy to several degrees — far below professional MOA standards.
True-to-life training
Real weapons. Safety built in.
Train with your own rifle, shotgun, or handgun — real trigger weight, real mount, real follow-through. Scenario tools keep safety in the story before you head outdoors.
Works with real guns
Rifle, shotgun & handgun training uses live firearms, not laser inserts. Authentic trigger break, bolt-action repetition, and tracking that respects how you actually shoot.
Safety first
Add hunters, beaters, and safety poles to scenarios. Practice identifying safe lanes and hold points before field days — obstacles stay visible on screen, not left to imagination.

Frequently asked questions
How accurate is the Marksman ST3 compared to laser simulators?
Marksman ST3 tracks shots to 0.18 MOA class precision with about 1 ms latency. Typical laser shooting simulators are limited by beam divergence to several degrees — roughly 650 times less precise than ST3 before accounting for missing ballistic calculators, limited real-firearm support, and shallow scenario libraries.
What is the difference between ST-2 and ST3 accuracy?
Both use Marksman's patented optical tracker with real firearms, not lasers. ST-2 delivers about 1 MOA (roughly 1 cm at 100 m). ST3 refines the same architecture to 0.18 MOA for tighter group analysis and stricter professional training standards.
Can I train with rifles, shotguns, and handguns on a Marksman simulator?
Yes. Marksman simulators are built for real guns — including bolt-action rifles, shotguns, and handguns with authentic trigger weight. That is a core difference from many laser trainers designed for modified or lightweight practice firearms.
Is a shooting simulator the same as a virtual shooting range?
In practice, yes. Marksman installs projector-based virtual ranges for hunting schools, sport shooters, law enforcement, and defense training — with ballistic calculators, clay disciplines, and big-game scenarios.
Why doesn't Marksman use VR for shooting training?
We like VR for gaming — not for serious firearms training. A headset sits between you and your rifle, shotgun, or handgun, so you lose sight of the real weapon: mount, stock weld, and follow-through no longer match what you do in the field. Rendering adds latency on top of that, and it rarely feels like shooting a real gun. Marksman ST3 keeps your actual firearm in your hands and maps hits to a projected screen at about 1 ms.
