Abstract

An optic method for shooting practice in which a narrow light beam is used instead of a bullet. The light beam is provided by a light transmitter (2) of a visible or infrared area attachable to a gun, the ray transmitted by which transmitter is observed with a spot-sensitive optic detector (5, 6) from which is received continuous position information during aiming and discharging as well as, when desired, also the hit and the direction at the discharge instant (9). (FIG. 1).
