The present invention describes a marksmanship simulator including a weapon capable of firing a laser, a screen for projecting images thereon and for receiving a laser strike from the weapon, a first hit detection means for registering a laser strike on the screen, a first projector for projecting a background image and a separate target image on the screen. The target image is finer than the visual acuity of the marksman, when looking through a targeting means thus providing a more realistic image for the marksman.
