Patent attributes
A tracer cylinder for use with a shotgun shell to provide an aiming and training aid for shotgun shooting sports, which also can be used for military and police applications. The tracer cylinder, which contains a liquid, has one or more openings, each one releasably closed with a valve. The tracer cylinder is loaded into a shotgun shell and fired. After the valve in the bottom of the cylinder is released, the liquid is extracted through the opening by physical forces, creating a long-lasting mist or fog cloud that is visible to the shooter. The shooter is provided with a consistent and durable reference, allowing him or her to make effective corrections to his or her shooting technique. The tracer cylinder can be loaded into a shot holder, with or without shot pellets.
