Trigger pull training device
First Claim
1. A firearm training system for graphically indicating movement of a firearm body of a firearm during a trigger pull to a user, the system comprising:
- a motion sensing circuit disposable on the firearm body, the motion sensing circuit configured to detect movement of the firearm body relative to a fixed reference frame and emit a firearm motion signal representative of the movement of the firearm body;
an electronic device comprising an electronic visual display including a graphical display representative of a physical plane of the firearm body including at least two dimensions along which the firearm body may travel relative to the fixed reference frame; and
a barrel displacement indicator associated with the firearm motion signal graphed on the graphical display, the barrel displacement indicator corresponding to actual movement of the firearm body in the at least two dimensions relative to the fixed reference frame during the trigger pull by the user, wherein the barrel displacement indicator correlates barrel movement with trigger pull and includes a line that extends from a barrel zero position representative of the position of a firearm barrel of the firearm body relative to the fixed reference frame at initiation of the trigger pull, wherein the barrel zero position is set at an origin of at least two axes representative of the at least two dimensions the firearm barrel may move relative to the fixed reference frame during the trigger pull, and wherein the line extends from the barrel zero position to a final barrel displacement position corresponding to the position of the firearm barrel within the at least two dimensions, relative to the barrel zero position, when the trigger pull is complete.

Abstract
A firearm system for monitoring the displacement of a firearm trigger during a trigger pull includes a firearm body including a handle and a barrel attached to the handle. A trigger is attached to the firearm body, and a position input circuit is attached to the trigger. The position input circuit emits a trigger position signal including information representative of the trigger displacement. The firearm body is in wired or wireless communication with an electronic device. The electronic device can include a monitor, or screen, for graphically displaying a trigger position indicator representative of the displacement of the trigger along one or more axes. The firearm body can include a motion sensing circuit generally adapted to detect motion of the firearm body. The motion sensing circuit can include one or more accelerometers or gyroscopes. A wireless transmitter or transceiver can be positioned on the firearm body for communicating trigger displacement information and/or firearm body motion information to the electronic device. Methods of providing firearm user input information to a firearm user are also provided.
