A system and method for a quick draw contest simulation involves two players using weapons to fire non-lethal projectiles or infrared signals at each other. Optional draw sensors, such as pressure sensors, contact sensors or switches, may be used to determine draw times based on when the players touch their weapons or remove them from their holstered positions. Firing sensors, such as motion detectors, pressure sensors, or infrared receivers, are used to determine firing times when the weapons are fired and optionally, also whether the projectiles or infrared signals hit the opposing players. The firing sensors and optional draw sensors communicate with a processor which executes program instructions stored on a memory component to determine a contest winner based on firing times and whether the opposing player was hit. The processor also causes an output device to indicate the contest winner and performance metrics of the players. 1. A system for a quick draw contest simulation between at least two players including a first player and a second player , the system comprising:(a) a first weapon operable by the first player to fire a first non-lethal projectile or signal in a first firing direction;(b) a second weapon operably by the second player to fire a second non-lethal projectile or signal in a second firing direction;(c) a player prompt for providing a prompt signal to prompt the first and second players to draw and fire their respective weapons;(d) a first firing sensor for detecting when the first weapon is fired, and a second firing sensor for detecting when the second weapon is fired;(e) an output device for outputting an audible or visual contest result; and (i) determining the from the first and second firing sensors which of the first and second weapons is fired first after provision of the prompt signal, and', '(ii) causing the output device to output the contest result based wholly or in part on the determination in step (i), above., '(f) a processor, ...

The electronic target is activated and at least two users hold the practice guns and pull triggers to shoot the electronic target simultaneously. After detecting a light beam from the light beam source of the practice gun that hit the electronic target first, a light sensor delays for a period of time to receive light signal. Simultaneously a sensing signal is transmitted to a control unit. Thus the control unit recognizes the practice gun that hit the electronic target first. Thereby many users respectively hold a practice gun to shoot the same electronic target simultaneously and which practice gun first hits the electronic target can be recognized.
