Tiivistelmä
Accuracy and precision are vital for a shooter and, therefore, these are the most important aspects to focus on in shooting training. There are several factors affecting the accuracy and precision when shooting, e.g. technique, postural stability, and cleanness of triggering. The purpose of this thesis is to develop a system for measuring the cleanness of triggering, i.e. the small movements made right before and during pulling the trigger. These small movements are often subconscious counter movements for the recoil. If the shooter becomes aware of what kind of movements they are doing, they can focus more on this aspect in shooting training and improve the accuracy and precision.
The measurement system developed for this thesis consists of an accelerometer, which is mounted onto a firearm, and a microcontroller connected to a computer where the movements are calculated, based on the acceleration data, and visualized on the computer screen. The results of the testing of the complete measurement system show that the system works as intended, satisfying each requirement set in the beginning of the development phase. Additionally, the accuracy of the calculated and visualized movements was shown to be sufficient for the purpose of the thesis and, therefore, it could be concluded that the complete measurement system achieves the purpose of the thesis.
