A random thought.

Without 'holodeck' technology, I would think that this is more difficult than 
actually sensing the bullet. 

I wonder if it would be against the rules of shooting if shooters were given 
some sort of attachment that they could put on their scopes, which will 
project a fake target (generated from 3D rendering) for them. Then, it would 
just be a matter of working out if their bullets hit the target virtually. 

We'll have the XYZ position and angle of their rifles. Wind speed could be 
gotten from an external sensor. Same for humidity.

But then, that would take away all the fun, wouldn't it?
