Abstract

A shooting exercise allows multiple shooters to shoot laser beams simultaneously at a target with several receivers with a laser gun. First, each laser gun held by each shooter is tuned to a unique frequency. Second, the shooters simultaneously shoot laser beams at the target. Third, receivers on the target register target hits. Fourth, a hit signal is sent to a host by the receiver when a receiver is struck by a laser beam. Fifth, the host processes the hit signals and produces a result. Then, the results are displayed on a monitor to show the hits of each shooter. Finally, a speaker sends out a sound.

Claims

1. A shooting exercise for simultaneous multiple shooters that uses individual laser guns and a common target with laser receivers and the shooting exercise comprising:

A. tuning each laser gun to a unique frequency of a laser beam, where the frequency of the laser beam produced by and emitted from the laser gun;

B. shooting the laser beams from the laser guns simultaneously at the target, where several shooters hold individual laser guns respectively and each shooter shoots simultaneously at the receivers on the target;

C. registering target hits by the laser beams from individual laser guns;

D. sending a hit signal to a host, which identifies the specific laser gun that hit the target;

E. processing the hit signals, where the host processes the hit signals with a logical operation to count hits for each shooter and produces a result; and

F. displaying the results, where the results for each shooter are displayed on a monitor.

2. The shooting exercise for simultaneous multiple shooters as claimed in claim 1, wherein the shooting exercise further comprises the following step after the displaying the results step:

A. sending out a sound, where the sound is sent out through speakers; and

B. showing the cumulative hits, the cumulative hits of each shooter shown on a monitor.
