Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire iTargetPro (anyone ever mess with these indoor laserbeam target Apps?)

I don't know if this belongs in the Handgun Forum or not, but I figured it might get better reception in the main Campfire section. A few years ago, my family got me iTargetPro and the .45 ACP laserbeam cartridge for my 1911. All I had to do was download the App onto my Samsung Galaxy smartphone, and voila! that was it. They make these laser cartridge thingamajigs in all sorts of calibers, so you could quite literally use it for anything, indoors...

This was me earlier this afternoon with my 1911 .45 ACP from 10 feet away. Granted, okay... okay... I haven't used iTargetPro in a couple of months and was out of practice, but still, it ain't too bad.

I’ve wondered about them too. I tend to do a LOT of dry fire practice while watching a movie every night and thought that system would be another step up in off time practice. 👍🏼

Dry fire practice and trigger mechanics is invaluable training imo and it’s not encouraged or practiced enough.

Looks like it's keyholing.

They are really cool, when you look at the firearm mechanics of it:
Remove mag, making sure your handgun is 100% clear.
Insert the laserbeam cartridge, manually with your fingers (flip the handgun upside down if need be).
Seat it into the chamber and hit the slide release.
1911's... Rugers... S&W's... ANYTHING with an external hammer --- Cock the hammer each time and take aim and fire.
Glock's... Sig Sauer... (and Ruger and S&W) that are Striker Fired --- Just simply take aim and fire.

When you are done. Just take a pencil and stick it (eraser end) through the barrel. Then push out the laserbeam cartridge back out through the chamber where it will gently drop onto the table.

I have one That sees a lot of use in my SigP365. It's especially good for developing your instinct pointing.

I listen to a bunch of podcast.

Hear the Mantis or mantix or something system mentioned a lot.

I do too. I’m going to start researching the options for this type of practice system. 👍🏼

I'm still looking too...

In the meantime, I have enough fodder to keep this running for years!

I heard that too.... Mantis X10 or something like that, is the newest, latest, greatest, indoor laser target system out there. It blows iTargetPro out of the water!

Make sure you also look at the Strikeman. I really do like mine.

Whats this practice stuff?
