We offer an award winning system that is used around the world for instruction and skills development. Our simulator was developed with an eye toward learning objectives and a high degree of realism. We use real firearms that have been converted to use CO2, while preserving much of the realism of a shooting experience. The educational scenarios challenge the trainee’s decision making ability and help develop life-saving skills. Visually, our scenarios incorporate realistic gunfire, explosions, and bodily injury. The DST can be used with or without an instructor. For self-paced reservations, we will demonstrate how to use the program. For instructor lead reservations, your instructor will use some of the advanced features of our system to improve your training experience. For more information please see Digital Simulator
