Thanks Louis – We are totally focused on building military VR marksmanship simulators to teach lead on moving targets.

Once we have the military trainer finished, will go back and redo Clazer for the MQ3

Or even further . . . .

In Japan in the early 1970’s, there was a glut of bowling alleys (bowling was a huge fad in Japan in the 1960’s that faded out). A company called Nintendo came up with a system using screens, projectors, light-emitting simulated shotguns, and cameras that could be installed in these underutilized bowling alleys for simulated skeet shooting. They later were able to shrink the package enough that it could be installed in arcades.

I recall shooting on one at the Landa Park Resort (New Braunfels, Texas) circa 1974.

In reply to JimB. I can go back further than that. I was an expert from the old school "Duck Hunt" game back at my local Straw Hat Pizza Parlor in the early '80s. Enough quarters will ensure a back full 'o ducks.

If any of you in the Central Texas area are (or have been) serious competitive clay shooters (skeet, trap, 5-station, sporting clays, etc, I’d like to get with you to collect some additional data for Part III (which is the review of the GAIM system, including its clay target simulators). If you are interested, please drop a note here in the comments.

I was an expert marksman by the time I was 15…thanks to Nintendo’s Duck Hunt.
