Shooter Make Ready
Shooter Make Ready is a revolutionary dry fire training tool created for shooters at all levels wanting to advance their firearm handling skills.
Innovative Dry Fire Training
Serious training that’s seriously fun.
LASER TARGETS
Practice shooting in the comfort of your own home, anytime and as often as you like. Our laser targets and RedShot laser cartridges, or a laser-based firearm simulator such as the Blackbeard(X) with a green laser from Mantis or the SIRT training pistol from NextLevel Training, make it possible to do just that.
Imagine having laser targets that simulate steel plates, poppers, and silhouettes. Targets that show your hits as you shoot, and clang with the gratifying sound of 9mm striking steel. Targets that wirelessly send your hits to the Shooter Make Ready app on your smartphone or tablet so you can actually see and evaluate your speed and accuracy.

LASER FIREARM SIMULATOR
A laser-based firearm simulator is a great tool for safe dry fire practice anywhere you want to train.
AR Training
The Blackbeard(X) with green laser from Mantis is fully compatible with our laser targets, and is a great choice to get the most realistic training using your own AR platform. Blackbeard(X) replaces the AR’s bolt carrier and magazine, making for a fast and simple transition. The trigger auto-resets so there’s no need to run the recharge handle between every shot. It’s fast, rated at up to 10 shots per second, and our laser targets pick up every shot.
Visit Mantis to order and learn more about the Blackbeard(X) auto-resetting trigger system for your AR platform.
You want the Blackbeard(X) with the green laser. The model with a red laser operates at 650nm which is NOT compatible with our laser targets.
Handgun Training
A SIRT laser pistol from NextLevel Training is a great option for handgun training. It has the size, weight and feel of an actual firearm with a resettable trigger, removable magazine, and two lasers to indicate trigger prep (takeup) and break (shot). Both the red and green lasers used in SIRT training pistols are fully compatible with our laser targets.
Normally the SIRT pistol activates the shot laser for as long as the trigger is held. Our SIRT OneShot plug-in module modifies the SIRT 110 pistol to activate the shot laser for a short timed duration to simulate one shot being fired with each pull of the trigger. The pulse is timed perfectly for our laser targets to detect and report only one hit per shot. The SIRT OneShot module plugs directly into the existing laser module connector, and can be easily installed in just a few minutes. If you have a SIRT model other than the S110, reach out to NextLevel Training customer support and ask about their “visible pulse option”, which provides a 44ms pulse.
Visit NextLevel Training to view options and to order a SIRT laser training pistol.
Other Laser Cartridges and Simulators
Already have a laser cartridge, or a laser training pistol other than a SIRT? If so, you might be wondering if you can use it with Shooter Make Ready. If the laser in your training pistol is compatible with our targets, the short answer is YES! Order a target pack, install the Shooter Make Ready app, and start training!

APP
The Shooter Make Ready app is available for Apple iOS and Android smartphones and tablets, and automatically connects to up to eight laser targets. Targets are assigned a color for easy identification in the app screens.
Choose a Course Of Fire from five available in the app: Steel Training, Saturday Steel, React, Practical Shooting, and Friend Or Foe. Range Officer commands can be enabled to direct the start of the Course Of Fire: “Are you ready?” “Standby!” followed by a 300ms start signal “Beeeep!”. Press the Start button on the Shot Timer screen and begin shooting at the start signal.
The Shot Timer view captures and displays laser target hits, cumulative times, split times, and overall scoring for each Course Of Fire. A Targets view shows hit locations and features a sight picture visualization tool and shot correction chart overlays for analyzing shot groups. A par time stop signal can also be configured for time limited shot strings.
Make no mistake, Shooter Make Ready is serious training that’s seriously fun!

What Is Dry Fire Practice?
Dry fire practice is the activity of practicing firearm handling skills for training purposes, without the use of live ammunition. It is widely recognized by shooting enthusiasts, shooting competitors, law enforcement and military trainers, and firearm instructors as an extremely effective means for learning and improving firearm handling skills.
WHAT DOES IT DO?
Dry fire practice develops muscle memory through repetition, allowing the shooter to learn how to act and react safely, rapidly and instinctively while manipulating a firearm. It is proven to be extremely effective for developing and honing skills such as proper grip, stance, draw, presentation, ready position, target acquisition, natural point of aim, sight alignment, sight picture, trigger control, follow through, reloading, target discrimination, and movement and cover.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Laser cartridges and firearm simulators use a laser to overcome the inherent dangers and problems associated with using an actual firearm for dry fire practice. A laser pulse is activated with each pull of the trigger. Our patented technology detects laser impact points on each target and sends them to the app, providing real time feedback on speed, accuracy and hit locations.
WHERE AND HOW OFTEN?
Dry fire practice can be done safely just about anywhere, including in your own home. Shooter Make Ready is designed primarily for indoor use, although it can be used outdoors in dry weather if not subjected to bright sunlight.
Many firearm trainers suggest that dry fire practice should constitute 70-80 percent of your overall firearm training. The usual recommendation is to train for about 20 minutes 3-5 days a week, but practicing just 15 minutes twice a week will still greatly improve your shooting skills and build your confidence.
What Our Users Are Saying
Here is a sample of what users are saying about Shooter Make Ready.
“It’s abundantly evident to this USPSA shooter, from not only the overall quality of the product but also from the ease of setup and use, the variety of shooting simulations and the skills and techniques that can be measured with Shooter Make Ready, that a lot of time and effort from experienced shooters went into the design of the product. All shooters from all skill levels will find something they can improve by using this. In fact, someone who’s never shot will find it fun and challenging, and may get them involved in the sport. The first time I set it up my hand was sore because I just couldn’t put it down from trying to beat my own previous time. So yes, it’s addictive. I am unaware of any other product that is as safe, versatile and informative, let alone as much fun, to practice shooting as this one.”
“The interface is very user friendly and tracking of performance is intuitive. The wide range of available courses of fire and ability to customize allows the user to tailor training to meet their needs. I particularly like the React course of fire which allows for work on target transition as you must react to the target cues. Overall I have been very pleased with the system and its functionality and think it is a very useful tool to improve anyone’s gun handling, target acquisition and general shooting skills.”
“Shooter Make Ready has made dry fire fun! After going to a national training conference last spring, I was all excited to do more dry fire. However, I got bored quickly and stopped after a few sessions. I use Shooter Make Ready now almost every day with different courses of fire. I am just starting to shoot IDPA matches, so I have been working on speed drawing from concealment using the Steel Training course and the par timer. I set the par timer and see how many shots I can get on target after drawing from concealment. Unlike traditional dry fire, the SMR app shows how many shots were within the par time and if any were late.
Another fun exercise is to set up the targets around the basement and shoot Saturday Steel as I move around keeping the 180 degree line in mind. A couple friends who shoot come over and ‘play dry fire’ with me, and I plan to invite a group over for a dry fire party soon! Every person I have shown this to loves it. I look forward to seeing how this training helps my competition shooting going forward, but it’s also just fun to play around with, setting targets on my mantle and sitting on my couch engaging them while I watch TV! Thank you, Accelerated Firearm Training, for the great (and fun!) training tool!”
“Shooter Make Ready is a great tool to improve your shot accuracy, speed, trigger control and transitions without breaking the bank with actual ammo. It is extremely easy to set up, and you can practice just about anywhere. Varying COFs from Saturday Steel, USPSA targets, or just plain reaction targets keeps practice time fun. I really like the instant feedback while hitting targets with realistic “steel plate” sounds. Being able to review the last stage to see exactly where you hit the target and times for shots, mag changes and target transitions allows you to pinpoint what skills to work on.
My kids are constantly asking me to have a quick competition – they even like the SMR competitions much better than the “shooter” games they have on Xbox. I am much more comfortable taking them to the range after they’ve learned the safe way to handle guns with SMR.”
“The Shooter Make Ready product makes learning basic handgun handling very easy to grasp. My wife and kids, who have very little actual handgun experience, were able to quickly score hits as well as determine the reason for any misses. They appreciated the fact they could practice without the noise of firing live ammunition. This is a great product for newer handgun owners who want to get some more trigger time.”
“SuhWEET!”
“With Shooter Make Ready my firearm skills have improved dramatically and I am much more confident. And I love being able to practice 24/7 in my own house.”
“Shooter Make Ready really helps sharpen my shooting skills. I have found it to be a great practice tool that makes dry fire far more productive, and I especially like the real time feedback I get on my performance. And it really is fun to use so I practice more each day.”
“Thanks Accelerated Firearm Training for such a great product. I refer to my Shooter Make Ready targets as ‘smart targets’. I find that the feedback on timing and accuracy is extremely helpful.
There are two things that really stand out for me.
My concerns about ammunition availability makes me very stingy to use my live ammo. Shooter Make Ready and my SIRT pistol gives me the satisfaction of shooting practice and I can do it safely in the convenience of my own home. That is a huge benefit to me!
Secondly, my family is very competitive. We have set up competition courses throughout the house and the fun we’ve had trying to beat each others times has been priceless.”
