Training simulators offer unparalleled benefits, especially for those looking to hone their shooting abilities. They provide countless dry-fire repetitions for skills like draws, target transitions, and target tracking. Moreover, they simulate real-world combat scenarios, which are crucial for developing quick judgment and decision-making skills. These scenarios force you to think on your feet, weighing moral, legal, and tactical considerations.

Introducing the Smokeless Range

The Smokeless Range® is an affordable option, a fraction of the cost compared to other simulators that can range from $15,000 to $25,000. With additional software upgrades available for $300 to $800, the training possibilities expand significantly. The simulator includes five marksmanship drills and five recreational shooting drills right out of the box. The option to upgrade with more software means you can tailor your training experience to your specific needs.

One of the standout features of this simulator is its ability to create scenario-based training. You can program various outcomes and even create your own scenarios. For example, you might find yourself in a situation where you need to decide whether to comply with a threat or engage in a gunfight. The simulator allows you to explore these scenarios in a controlled environment, which is invaluable for developing your tactical thinking.

Different Shooting Options

When it comes to shooting with the Smokeless Range, you have a few options:

• Using one of various non-recoiling laser training firearms
• Using a recoiling laser training gun
• Modifying an airsoft gun with a compatible barrel for laser training or add laser to rail (Spider Kit)
• Using your own firearm with a laser cartridge, Flashbolt or SureStrikeMAG

Why I Love the Smokeless Range

My personal experience with the Smokeless Range has been fantastic. Even my wife, who is generally hesitant about training, enjoys using it because it feels like a fun experience while still being effective training. It’s a great way to introduce someone to shooting skills without the intimidation of a live range.

Final Thoughts
