Yes if you apply yourself. It may be a simulator but it’s actually challenging. Shooters that aren’t remotely capable of performing in real life shouldn’t expect to do significantly better in VR. If anything it does a very good job at showing your shortcomings on aspects not related to recoil management and reloads at least on the marksmanship side of things. I’m specifically working on Vision focused shooting (or target focus depending on who you ask) and smoother transitions without moving past my intended point of impact. You can technically do these with dryfire but things like swingers and the ability to easily do a variety of courses without needed to set it up is very much value added. It’s exposed some of the weaknesses that I was not aware of during my dry fire and live fire sessions such as how much time I’ve been lingering on each target due to over confirmation. I don’t get to shoot anywhere near as much as I used to so this has been a tremendous help in supplementing a lot of that range time. Especially when the most I can do is 100-200 rounds per session every few months as compared to the thousand per month back then. Even if I did, just the fact that there’s variety of stages that I don’t get to shoot often really takes the cake for me. Where it’s been the most helpful for me is training at uncomfortably faster speeds than Im used to and dialing it in.
@yohanzeta Thanks for the very considered reply mate. It's covers some great aspects that I thought may be helpful. I live in Aus where most ranges are static and don't allow to move from your bay unless you are doing an IPSC match. This created issues where I can't practice poppers, swingers or even transitions as much as I would like or even train them in my own time at all outside a match. Ammo prices are also through the roof - close to AUD 30- 40 per box of 50 9mm which is exorbitantly expensive. I am considering buying this as it will help me train transitions and poppers and swingers at my own time with the live range practice to confirm and dry fire to continue refining fundamentals. Your comment helps tremendously. One other query do you run this on a Quest 2 or 3 and does it matter. I'll be picking up a Quest solely for this as I think the training addition will help. Thanks again
@@mps9649 It works on both. I have an 'inbetween' (Quest Pro) but its designed to work with either version. Just have to go to the settings to select which one. I think you will find this to be a very helpful training aid.

Hi, do you think this trainer is worth it as a supplement to dryfire/live fire training?
