Luke Leadership tests Virtual Range Simulator

U.S. Air Force Brig. Gen. David Berkland, 56th Fighter Wing commander, completes a shooting challenge on a virtual range simulator during a demonstration, Dec. 15, 2025, at Luke Air Force Base, Arizona. The range’s interactive feedback highlights issues like recoil anticipation and breath control that traditional dry-fire cannot reveal. Whether tasked to deploy, needing to meet marksmenship requirements, or looking to gain more “trigger” time, simulators provide an easily accessible, complementary training option that enhances readiness alongside real-world range time.
