This...I'm not a fanatic...but I can keep 'em in the kill zone with all of my spoons at reasonable distances + some. One of my LEO tennants is a former sniper...different "game" entirely. I had my pocket Ruger with me when my neighbor called me to check his place....LE on the way....no telling how fast my heart was racing as I went around checkng his doors and into the back of his garage....dunno how you really practice shooting in "real world" scenarios. I'm no feardy cat....but I sure was glad when Barney showed up .

I ordered a laserlyte. I'm also going to test out this app just out of curiousity. I installed the app, but didn't order any of their other stuff.

How it Works
iTarget works with both Apple and Android phones. It allows you to train at home with an actual firearm by using the "iTarget Pro" phone app and a laser bullet. The phone is placed into the iTarget sled with its camera pointed at the shooting target. The app monitors the target for hits from the laser bullet and maps the hits onto the phone's display - showing you precisely where you shot the target.

It appears to watch your target for the laser hit, and then superimpose a virtual hole over the image of the target where the laser hit. I have no idea how it will handle a "dash" left by a moving laser, but since the app is free, I figure I can rig something up to see if/how it works for me.

OK, hadn't taken the time to tinker with the laserlyte or "iTarget Pro" until today. It's actually pretty cool. It's not really target practice, it's like an advanced dry fire practice. It's nice to be able to see the results of your grip and trigger control via the laser dot. The laser only fires for the period of time that the striker would be hitting the primer, but that's long enough to see movement if there is any. iTarget Pro doesn't take the movement into account. I think, depending upon timing, it may consider the hit at the end of the dash or in the middle. It also adds a game style shot noise every time you "fire".

Even more humbling is the wobble when you are gripping properly.
