2025 is upon us, so now is the time to set some hockey training New Year’s resolutions. Snipe Lights is here to help you improve your shot with 5 easy ways to use our fun and interactive light-up hockey target shooting system so you can become the sniper you always knew you could be.
Shooting accuracy, power, and consistency are at the core of every great goal scorer’s skill set. Interactive hockey target shooting systems like Snipe Lights help improve every aspect of a player’s shot.
Snipe Lights is revolutionizing the way players train with our app-connected technology and engaging 1- and 2-player games. Snipe Lights also transforms repetitive shooting drills into addictive games that simply produce results.
So, without further ado, here are five hockey shooting training resolutions players can achieve using Snipe Lights:
- Improve Shooting Accuracy
Accuracy is essential for any goal scorer. Snipe Lights’ interactive targets light up to guide players to specific shooting zones on the net, helping them focus on hitting precise spots with every shot. Snipe Lights provides real-time feedback to help you refine your accuracy over time.
Resolution: Dedicate 15 minutes a day to improving your shot accuracy using Snipe Lights and track your progress on the app.
- Develop a Faster Release
A quick shot release can mean the difference between scoring a goal and missing the opportunity. Snipe Lights includes game modes specifically designed to challenge players to shoot faster without sacrificing accuracy. By training your muscle memory and reflexes, you’ll be better prepared to capitalize on every scoring chance.
Resolution: Complete 3 quick-release shooting sessions per week with Snipe Lights to develop a faster release.
- Increase Shot Power
A powerful shot can intimidate goalies and create better scoring chances. Snipe Lights helps players work on generating power through repetition, developing targeted muscle strength for that booming slap shot or heavy wrister.
Resolution: Do power-focused shooting drills twice a week using Snipe Lights to build strength and consistency in your shot.
- Build Game-Like Situational Awareness
Shooting accuracy and power are only effective if you can read the game and make decisions quickly. Snipe Lights’ dynamic, light-up targets simulate real in-game scenarios, forcing players to make split-second shooting decisions.
Resolution: Use Snipe Lights for 5 minutes on Gopher Hunt, 5 minutes on Nasty Mitts, and 5 minutes on Supreme Focus at least once a week to improve decision-making under pressure.
- Make Training Fun and Consistent
One of the biggest challenges in training is maintaining consistency and motivation. Snipe Lights gamifies hockey shooting practice, making every session enjoyable and engaging. With multiplayer options, players can also challenge teammates or friends, adding a competitive edge to every drill.
Resolution: Set a weekly playing schedule with Snipe Lights and stick to it. Try to involve a training buddy for at least 2 of those sessions to push each other through fun competition in 2-player games.
Stay Committed and Enjoy the Results
With Snipe Lights, players have a powerful tool to improve their shooting skills while staying motivated and having fun. Whether you’re a beginner or an elite player, sticking to these 5 resolutions will help you unlock the full potential of your shot.
