The Kaiserslautern Rod & Gun Club is adding Beamhit, an interactive laser training system to its sport shooting program. The club had a successful beamhit marksmanship demonstration at the Kaiserslautern Military Community Center, where prospective customers were able to test the new program.
Beamhit is geared at improving aim and accuracy while providing competitive and recreational practice. It is a cost efficient program because it doesn’t require the purchase of ammunition.
“I can do the instruction in half the time since ammunition isn’t required. I don’t have to walk up and down the fire range checking targets, since this is a laser system” said, Robert Manore, the Rod & Gun Club manager, who has more than 15 years combined experience as an ex-U.S. Army officer and deputy sheriff.
There are two types of systems used with any pistol that uses a double action firing system and any rifle. The 460 system allows marksmanship coaching on digital targets.
The 390 system can be used for shooting games or for interactive shoot/no shoot scenarios. These scenarios are specifically designed to train and improve the ability to make decisions under stress when the use of force is required for law enforcement series personnel in the military.
“This is a great program for people who want to learn to shoot, but have never shot before due to fear of noise, recoil or blow back. Beamhit enables them to get the practice without having to worry about getting hurt, since no ammunition is used,” Mr. Manore said.
The beamhit program is completely portable and can be used at the Rob & Gun Club on Saturdays by reservation or it can be set up at any unit function.
The Rod & Gun Club provides an array of different activities, including paint ball, archery, skeet/trap shooting and rifle/pistol shooting.
