iShooter Scholarship

Despite laws passed in recent years to tighten civilian access to firearms, they remain their legal right. This right is fundamentally enshrined in the Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America and allows a citizen to own a firearm to protect his life. Taking into account the fact that currently a huge number of citizens own firearms, the issue of acquiring the necessary skills for safe handling of them is becoming increasingly acute. This fact has provoked a real technological leap in the development of the shooting training industry, especially with the ability to conduct them at home without the cost of ammunition. With the help of the latest developments in the field of shooting simulators, such as the iShooter laser firearms training system, this has become possible. And now we want you to share your thoughts on this matter.
