LaserLyte effective training, or just a toy?

madwabbit · May 6, 2014

I'm interested in the LaserLyte after seeing it online. Anyone used it and/or have any reviews on it? Is this genuinely going to help a shooter or is it merely a toy in disguise?

Bad toy.

Why not spend it on a class? I know you will get more out of one class than playing with the Laserlyte.

I am. I'll be filling my summer with classes, but was curious after seeing it online.

Dunno what the cost is, but i think dry fire laser work in general is good practice

madwabbit · May 6, 2014

thats kind of how I rationalized it as well. if "dry firing helps" then surely this will too, and it'll also save ammo/trips to range.

but if vg says its useless, i'll defer to his experience. especially when the setup costs a few hundred bucks anyway.

Wouldn't it teach you the bad habit of looking for the laser instead of focusing on your sights?

madwabbit · May 6, 2014

eh, it doesnt work that way. its an attachment that you chamber and when you pull the trigger it displays on the LED target where you would have hit

seems like a geeky gun toy boxed as a training tool, which is why I asked. I'm not sayin it wouldn't be fun in my office though- beats the hell out of darts.

I bought one to work on my draw. No ranges in town allow holster work, so I use the laserlyte. My drill is draw, fire one round at the target, tac-reload, fire another round, then check my shot placement on the laserlyte.

After I've gone to a range about a dozen times, spoken to the employees, basically let them know I'm not a retard, I ask if it is a problem if I work from the holster. I've always been given the okay.

yeah I learned that trick a ways back too. you've got to pass the basic Q&A, and will get far better results when the range isn't so busy.

Be careful, don't only practice drawing and firing... Most ranges should let you fire from the high or low ready.

I use a laser with dry fire training when I'm alone. I think it is a great tool for fixing bad trigger pull habits. I've even put my scope zero laser in a gun to check trigger pull consistency. If you like LaserLyte check out http://nextleveltraining.com/.

Laserlyte sucks. Crappy toy that breaks after a few hundred (if your lucky) trigger pulls.

NLT trainers are awesome and I've pulled the trigger tens of thousands of time with mine.
