Abstract

A firearm laser training system includes a laser transmitter assembly (2) and a target structure (10) having sections of varying reflective properties. The laser assembly is configured for attachment to a user firearm and emits a beam of visible laser light. The target structure front surface includes a retroreflective target section having increased reflective properties relative to the reflective properties of the remaining front surface sections to reflect the laser beam in a distinguishing manner, thereby providing a visual indication when the laser beam impacts the target section. An interchangeable mask (22) may be placed over the target section to provide targets for various firearm activities. For example, a mask may include a grid pattern defining a frame of reference for the target section, or may be opaque and include an opening to serve as an intended target site. The opening exposes a portion of the reflective target section, thereby enabling reflection of the laser beam in a distinguishing manner, typically in the form of a flash of light, to provide a visual indication when the intended target site has been struck by the laser beam. The opaque mask may further be scaled to simulate actual shooting conditions at predetermined distances, while the opening may have varying dimensions to accommodate the particular skill level of a user. In addition, the system may be available in kit form including the laser transmitter assembly, target structure and a plurality of interchangeable masks.
