Patent attributes
A firearm system for monitoring the displacement of a firearm trigger during a trigger pull includes a firearm body including a handle and a barrel attached to the handle. A trigger is attached to the firearm body, and a position input circuit is attached to the trigger. The position input circuit emits a trigger position signal including information representative of the trigger displacement. The firearm body is in wired or wireless communication with an electronic device. The electronic device can include a monitor, or screen, for graphically displaying a trigger position indicator representative of the displacement of the trigger along one or more axes. The firearm body can include a motion sensing circuit generally adapted to detect motion of the firearm body. The motion sensing circuit can include one or more accelerometers or gyroscopes. A wireless transmitter or transceiver can be positioned on the firearm body for communicating trigger displacement information and/or firearm body motion information to the electronic device. Methods of providing firearm user input information to a firearm user are also provided.
