Abstract:

A handgun aiming comprises a wrist and hand stabilizer configured for substantially fixing an orientation of a wrist of a user relative to a hand of the user. The device also comprises a fastener configured for fastening the stabilizer to both the wrist and the hand of the user. The fastener may also be configured for fastening the stabilizer to a finger, a palm, a wrist, and/or a gun. In addition, the device may comprise a light means for illuminating a target and/or shock mitigating means such as gel, neoprene, or a fibrous filler. Accordingly, the device improves consistency and stability when aiming and firing a handgun without compromising the speed at which the user may receive and release the handgun and without encumbering the movement of the users arm. The device and method may also be effective in reducing the occurrence of injuries to a handgun user.

Abstract:

A target reporting system utilizes a flexible target sheet having a target image thereon. Preferably, the sheet is positioned in a substantially planar configuration. A plurality of sensors affixed to the target sheet are arranged for detecting vibrations at selected locations on the sheet. In response thereto, a processor determines the location of a bullet strike (or other vibration-causing impact). A reporting element converts the calculated location to an absolute or relative position and reports it in a human voice-like signal to the target shooter.
