What if I told you that you could set up actual targets, shoot something from your training gun beyond just hearing the sound of the striker or hammer falling, and actually get split times, groups, scores, and more? The L.A.S.R. (Laser Activated Shot Reporter) App does just that! L.A.S.R. works by using a webcam, as well as your phone, tablet, and laptop-integrated cameras, to watch targets that you specify. It is looking for laser impacts, and when it sees an impact, it records the location, splits times between impacts, and emits a hit or miss sound effect.

Dry firing is just about the most boring thing you can do in firearms training. The problem is that dry firing also happens to be one of THE BEST ways to drastically improve your shooting. So, how can you make dry firing more exciting than watching paint dry and avoid feeling like you’d rather be doing literally anything else?
