Shooting training systems have a self-propelled robotic target support platform operable to navigate on an extended surface, the platform supporting a target, the platform including a sensor array adapted to detect and register shot information about a shot generated by a shooter passing proximate the target, a transmitter on the platform adapted to transmit the shot information, and a receiver associated with the shooter adapted to receive the shot information and to provide shot information to the shooter. The platform may be a vehicle adapted to operate over a ground surface in any direction. The platform may be a watercraft. The platform may be a wheeled vehicle. The sensor array may be adapted to detect and register shot information including a location and direction of the shot. There may be a plurality of robotic target support platforms, each having a sensor array. The receiver may be adjacent to the shooter.

A shot tracking and feedback system is disclosed that uses a motion sensor incorporated within a housing worn on a wrist of a user to determine and provide performance feedback based on a determined movement before the shot was fired and the determined accuracy of the shot striking a moving target, such as a clay target. The performance feedback and additional information may be provided on a display. A user may utilize the presented performance feedback to improve shooting accuracy.

The present invention provides systems and methods for electronic targeting, and hit or touch detection of projectiles or objects, such as from some type of gun, bow (archery), ball, human touch, animal touch. Targets/nodes have hit/touch/contact detection implements and are in radio communication with a gateway, which may be standalone or integrated into a master target. The gateway is in radio communication with an app on a smart device and also includes the capability for data connectivity to the cloud. Electronic gaming and other touch event activities remote activities of geographically disparate groups of targeting-type or hit/touch/contact detection implements are provided.

A shot tracking and feedback system is disclosed that uses a camera to track a shot fired from a weapon and a moving target, such as a clay target. Radar may be used in conjunction with the camera to track the shot and the moving target. Tracking the moving target and the shot allows for determination of the paths of the shot and the target to determine and provide performance feedback, such as whether the shot was above or below the target and/or to the left or right of the target. The performance feedback and additional information may be provided on a display of the system or a user device having a display (e.g., watch, smartphone, etc.). A user may utilize the presented information to improve shooting accuracy.

An emitting structure for simulating an irradiance signature of a missile is provided. The emitting structure includes one or more radiation sources, each of which includes at least one ultraviolet radiation source and at least one infrared radiation source. The emitting structure also includes a spherical shell and a mechanism for positioning the radiation source(s) along a three dimensional boundary of the spherical shell. The emitting structure can locate and operate one of the radiation sources to simulate the irradiance signature of the missile.
