Patent number: 10274287Abstract: A system and method for simulating lead of a target includes a network, a simulation administrator and a user device connected to the network, a database connected to the simulation administrator, and a set of position trackers positioned at a simulator site. The user device includes a virtual reality unit and a computer connected to the set of virtual reality unit and to the network. A generated target is simulated. The target and the user are tracked to generate a phantom target and a phantom halo. The phantom target and the phantom halo are displayed on the virtual reality unit at a lead distance and a drop distance from the target as viewed through the virtual reality unit.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2017Date of Patent: April 30, 2019Assignee: Shooting Simulator, LLCInventors: James L. Northrup, Robert P. Northrup, Peter F. Blakeley
