Frequently Asked Questions

What is the LASR system and how does it work for firearm training?

The LASR system uses a standard webcam to track laser impacts from a SIRT training pistol onto physical targets. It provides real-time feedback on accuracy and timing, making it an effective tool for dry-fire practice at home.

How much does the LASR system and a SIRT pistol cost?

The LASR software typically costs around $129, and an entry-level SIRT training pistol is approximately $245. The combined cost is comparable to purchasing a single case of 9mm ammunition.

What are the benefits of using the LASR system for training?

LASR enhances dry-fire practice by providing immediate feedback on draw times, split times, and accuracy. It allows for consistent training without the expense of live ammunition, improving overall marksmanship and cognitive processing.

What setup considerations are important for the LASR system?

Consistent indoor lighting is recommended over variable natural light. Calibration of the software to the webcam is essential, and cardboard targets are preferred over high-contrast targets for better laser reflection.
