Abstract
A shooting system for improving the accuracy of a shot at a target as fired from a hand-held firearm. The shooting system can comprise a targeting system operable with the firearm, the targeting system operable with one or more sensors to obtain targeting information pertaining to a target. The targeting system can further determine an optimal aiming vector and an aim deviation of the optimal aiming vector from an actual aiming vector based on the targeting information. The shooting system can further comprise an aim assist system in communication with the targeting system that functions to receive information corresponding to the aim deviation, the aim assist system comprising a momentum transfer system supported by the firearm and operable to induce a motion within the firearm to manipulate the actual aiming vector of the firearm and to correct for the aim deviation.
