Abstract

A firearm training system provides a firearm body having a trigger and a position input circuit. When the trigger is pulled, the position input circuit emits a two-dimensional trigger position signal that allows monitoring of the actual two-dimensional trigger pull path taken by the trigger during the trigger pull. The trigger pull path can be displayed graphically on an electronic device in real time. In other embodiments, the information associated with the trigger position signal can be stored and can be graphically viewed after the trigger pull is complete. The system provides a way to monitor trigger pull path to determine whether the trigger has been pulled laterally. By repeatedly monitoring trigger pulls using the system, a user can train to improve trigger pull technique. Also, a motion sensing circuit disposed on the firearm body can measure movement of the firearm body during the trigger pull, and a barrel displacement indicator can be graphically and numerically displayed on the electronic device corresponding to the actual barrel displacement. A method of providing firearm user input information to a user is also provided.
