What is
SCATT?

SCATT systems help sport shooters and coaches see the full shot process: how the firearm moved before the shot, what happened at release, and how the shooter followed through.

Short answer

SCATT makes shooting technique visible

SCATT is an electronic shooting training system for sport shooters and coaches. A SCATT system records the movement of the firearm relative to the target and displays the aiming trace, shot moment, point of impact, and follow-through in dedicated training software.

SCATT does not only show where the shot landed. It helps explain why the shot landed there.

SCATT Shooting Trainers

Brand and models

There is a whole family of SCATT systems

Current models include SCATT MX-W2, SCATT MX-02, and SCATT Basic. Each model serves the same core purpose: helping shooters and coaches analyze the shot process with objective feedback.

How it works?

From movement to measurable feedback

A SCATT optical sensor is mounted on the firearm. During training, it tracks movement relative to the target. The software then turns that movement into visual feedback the shooter and coach can review.

  1. 01

    Mount the sensor

    The optical sensor attaches to the firearm, usually on the barrel or air cylinder, depending on the discipline and mounting setup.

  2. 02

    Train with a target

    The shooter trains on a suitable target. Depending on the model, this may be reduced-distance dry-fire, live-fire, indoor, or outdoor practice.

  3. 03

    Review the shot process

    The software displays the aiming trace, shot moment, point of impact, and follow-through so technique can be analyzed instead of guessed.

WHAT SCATT MEASURES?

The parts of the shot that are hard to see

SCATT helps reveal the process behind the result: how the aim settled, how stable the hold was, what happened at release, and whether the shooter maintained control after the shot.

01

Aiming trace

Shows how the firearm moved relative to the target before and after the shot.

02

Hold stability

Helps identify whether the aiming area was stable or moving excessively before release.

03

Final second

Highlights the most critical part of the shot process before release.

04

Shot moment

Connects the release moment to the aiming trace so the shooter can see what happened at the decisive point.

05

Follow-through

Shows movement after the shot and helps confirm whether control was maintained.

06

Consistency

Allows repeated shots and sessions to be reviewed for recurring patterns.

TRAINING VALUE

A shot result tells you what
happened. SCATT helps you
understand why it happened.

For shooters

Connect what you felt during the shot with what actually happened in the aiming trace.

For coaches

Review hold stability, settling behavior, release, and follow-through using visible shot-process data.

For clubs and teams

Create a more structured training methodology with feedback that can be explained, repeated, and compared over time.

DRY-FIRE AND LIVE-FIRE

Make technical training
more measurable

SCATT systems can be used for both dry-fire and live-fire training. The goal is to make the shot process easier to observe and analyze.

Dry-fire training

Dry-fire allows athletes to work on position, aiming behavior, release, and follow-through without ammunition. With SCATT feedback, this training becomes visible and easier to evaluate.

Live-fire training

All SCATT models can also be used in live-fire mode. This allows shooters and coaches to review the shot result together with the aiming movement and release process.

SCATT MODELS

SETUP BASICS

Target, distance,
lighting, and
software matter

Reliable SCATT training depends on correct setup. The target should match the selected exercise, be scaled correctly when needed, and be clearly visible to the optical sensor. Suitable targets can be printed directly from the SCATT software.

Correct target

Use the target type that matches the selected shooting exercise in the software.

Correct distance

For reduced-distance training, use appropriately scaled targets and confirm model-specific limits.

Even lighting

The target should be evenly illuminated and have enough contrast for reliable recognition.

Software selection

Use the software version intended for your SCATT model and training setup.

An electronic optical sensor is mounted on the firearm’s barrel or on the compressed air cylinder if a shooter is using an air weapon.This sensor is designed to precisely trace all movements of a shooter’s weapon of choice in regards to the target.

Every bit of collected data is then decoded by the SCATT software, with the point of aim’s trajectory and the point of impact displayed on the screen and immediately available for interpretation and analysis.All results of the practice session can be recorded for further review and debriefing. Thus, a positive feedback loop is created and a shooter gets all the options in the world to analyze his/her shortcomings play by play.

This issue may be caused by the floor reflecting incoming signal. In order to eliminate this problem one could put a rag/carpet on the floor right in the middle of the sighting line. 

  1. IR Electronic target
  2. Optical sensor
  3. Incoming signal
  4. Reflected signal
  5. Rag or carpet
  6. Paper reflector

The optical sensor that is mounted on your gun’s barrel has a built-in micro-sized microphone designed to register the click of your trigger or the sound that a released arrow makes. Sensor’s sensitivity is adjustable in SCATT software.

Training in a dry-fire mode can do absolutely no disservice to a shooter. Generally speaking, it takes 2-3 live practice sessions for an athlete to get used to blowback/recoil after 2-3 months of just dry-fire practice.
Given the longstanding experience accumulated with the collaboration of shooters and coaches (Shooting Team of USSR and Russian Federation), we recommend:
Top-class shooters to train with the SCATT system for approximately 70-80% of overall training time in regards to the routine training period and up to 30-50% during the contest season.

There was a case of an athlete using the training system in dry-fire mode alone for three months leading up to a forthcoming Russian Championship. He then had only 5 live-fire practice sessions and subsequently won the gold medal, setting a new Russian record in the process.
Beginners to train only with the SCATT training system. The later a beginner gets his/her hands on live-fire, the better. Weapon’s recoil and shot sound slow down the learning process two or even three-fold.  
Shooters that have a bias against training systems can use SCATT trainers for the sole purpose of error diagnosis. The system can also help them explore new shooting positions and natural points of aim providing an immediate feedback on the efficiency.

Absolutely not. It’s crucial to implement some live-fire session into your training routine from time to time, especially if we are talking about small-bore and large-caliber weapons, for the shooting accuracy with these gun types strongly correlates with consistency of one’s natural point of aim and corresponding grouping of shots.
On top of that, if you set a goal to perfect your shooting skills in regards to real environment (various lighting settings/wind/drizzle) there is no way to achieve that with dry-fire session alone. You’ll need to actually go out there and apply yourself.

SCATT training systems can be set up anywhere where you will be able to connect your kit to the computer, smartphone or tablet, be it in a shooting club, your garage or some office space. Working distances range from 2.5 up to 1000 meters depending on the SCATT model. The only restriction to keep in mind – do not set up your system in a wet environment.

While installing the SCATT Professional program you named the folder dedicated to storage of shooting files (by default “C: SCATT CATALOG”).

Proceed to move shooting files from the folder “C:WINSCATT” into folder entitled “C:SCATT CATALOG” (do not confuse with “My ComputerSCATT CATALOG” – a virtual folder emulated by SCATT program). Shooting files will then appear in the SCATT Professional folder.

Let’s draw evidence from a related example: in order to hit the target a military bomber drops a bomb somewhat in advance rather than precisely above the intended target, since said bomb will exit the plane and retain the plane’s speed while moving in the same direction until it eventually hits the ground.
SCATT Program applies the same algorithm, which allows the system to accurately register the point of impact.

For example, a bullet keeps moving in the same direction the barrel was pointed at after leaving said barrel. Therefore, if a shooter’s hold stability is not up to par – a shot may end up separated from the trajectory. Feel free to set your F Coefficient (ballistic coefficient)  that will correspond to your distance and bullet speed.
