Which is better — live range practice or laser simulation practice? The answer is yes. ** Live Range ** + Real recoil practice + Real everything else practice — Can’t practice crime scenarios — Sparse range locations(in my area) ** Laser Simulation ** + Shoot /don’t shoot scenario practice(invaluable) + Don’t pay for ammo, lane, targets, gear, etc. — Don’t learn operation & safety of real firearms — Silhouette targets can feel too easy 4 stars mainly for the training scenarios, not least of which was the armed robber actually yelling«break yo self!».
