Abstract: Target shooting systems and methods are disclosed or exposing shooters to simulated muzzle flashes and monitoring training using a computing device, software application, audio, video, an electrocardiogram (“EKG”), and wireless communications. The target shooting replicates the visual and audio experience of a muzzle flash thereby simulating live return fire as closely as possible while maintaining safety. The trainee may shoot live ammunition at a target that is simulating shooting back. The EKG is able to measure heart rates over time and transfer the data to the software application on the computing device. The video camera can transfer recorded video data to the software application. Sensors on the target can transfer impact data to the software application to calculate hit/miss ratios. Target systems can include metal targets or cardboard targets. The system may also be applicable to dry fire training there is simulated gunfire.
