1. A simulated gun target and shooting system, comprising:

  • a target display screen;

    a plurality of sensors disposed about said target display screen in a planar configuration;

    a transmitter unit having at least one emitter adapted to emit a pulsed light signal and a CPU, wherein said pulsed light signal is modulated with pseudo-ranges measured between the transmitter unit and the plurality of sensors, wherein each pseudo-range represents a distance between one of the plurality of sensors and the transmitter unit;

    a receiver system electrically connected to said sensors, wherein said receiver system is adapted to calculate the distance between said transmitter unit and said plurality of sensors by demodulating said pulsed light signal to obtain said pseudo-ranges;

    a processor adapted to calculate the three-dimensional position of the transmitter unit based upon said calculated distances;

    wherein said target display screen is adapted to display a shot icon, wherein the position of said shot icon on said target display screen is based upon the calculated three-dimensional position of the transmitter unit.
