ABSTRACT:
A projector apparatus has a lamp and magnifying lens located therein with appropriate reflective mirrors for projecting a patch of light onto a screen. Inside of the patch of light is a dark spot created by a non-translucent material on the magnifying lens. A motor with a special cam moves one of the reflective mirrors to cause the patch of light and dark spot to sweep across the screen at a constant speed. A special gun electrically connected with the projector apparatus has a gun firing power unit for creating a short duration, high intensity flash of light upon the pulling of the trigger of the gun. The flash of light is reflected through appropriate mirrors onto the screen. By adjustments in the projector apparatus, compensation can be made for lead and drop of a normal cartridge which an individual is simulating firing in the gun. Automatic compensation is made in the projector apparatus and fed to the gun to adjust for the angle at which the patch of light strikes the screen thereby compensating for distance to the target in automatically adjusting lead and drop.
