  • “The eye in the sky don’t lie.” Video is a great way to see exactly what you are doing when you shoot.
  • Slow Motion. The latest smartphones capture 240 frames per second so you can watch yourself 8x slower to break down what the gun is really doing in your hands.
  • Free. If you have a smartphone already (or access to one), you don’t have to spend a dime to get anlaysis that would have cost thousands a few years ago.

  • All guns are always loaded.  Treat the SIRT like a live fire gun.
  • Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy.
  • Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on the target.
  • Be sure of your target and what is beyond it.  Have a good ballistic backstop when training.  So just in case some how a live fire gun got in your training space, a bullet will be caught where you are training.
