GAIM Immersive Technology introduced its VR shooting simulators

GAIM Immersive Technology introduced its VR shooting simulators at the National Youth Shooting Sports Conference, which was held October 10 to 12 in Columbia, Mo. It also announced a partnership with the MidwayUSA Foundation at the annual event.

The company’s system is designed for all ages. Its practice and analysis tools are designed to, “… help shooters aim beyond reality and become better at their craft,” according to its website. The collaboration announced in October, however, reflects the company’s commitment to enhancing training for young athletes by providing innovative virtual reality shooting simulators that provide access to realistic, immersive training experiences to build skill, confidence and safety.

Various shooting sports organizations had the chance to experience GAIM’s simulators during the National Youth Shooting Sports Conference. “GAIM is excited to work alongside the MidwayUSA Foundation to invest in the future of youth shooting sports,” said Phillip Jones, GAIM director of sales and marketing in the United States. “By offering our simulators, we hope to provide young athletes with safe, effective and engaging ways to hone their skills.”

“Partnering with GAIM allows us to introduce new, innovative training tools to the youth we support,” said John Linquist, relationship manager of the MidwayUSA Foundation. “This aligns perfectly with our mission of empowering young athletes through shooting sports.”

GAIM offers a range of virtual reality shooting simulators designed for shooting sport enthusiasts/professionals, hunters and law enforcement. The simulators immerse users in lifelike environments, allowing them to practice and improve skills like marksmanship, safety and decision-making. Flagship simulators such as GAIM Handgun, GAIM Clay Shooting and GAIM Hunting, all available in the GAIM Complete bundle, offer tailored experiences—whether improving clay skills, preparing for the hunting season or sharpening tactical responses for law enforcement teams.

GAIM was a division of Aimpoint from 2019 until June 2022. It is now part of Sandberg Development, although the system continues to use the previous owner’s famed red-dot sighting systems.   

GAIM’s realistic scenarios blend real-world training with cutting-edge virtual technology, helping users become more effective, engaged and accurate in the field or on the range. Individual sport shooting and hunting scenarios are also available separately, allowing shooters to expand training at their own pace.
