Any suggestions would be appreciated.

The only 2 serious competitors for home use are the Rika and Scatt. Search down through here and you'll find a couple threads comparing them. Some (like me) prefer Scatt while some prefer Rika. Both have good and bad points - either will do the job and they are similar in cost.

There's a comparison of several training systems at <a href="http://www.centershot.com/products/Electronic Trainers Comparison.htm">A comparison of several trainers by Center Shot Sports</a> and below is a list of several sites. These are older links and I haven't visited lately so I can't guarantee they all still work. I personally own a Rika purchased from the board's sponsor. The only negative I've noticed is without a knowledgeable coach it can sometimes be frustrating and slow improving a particular aspect of the shot. Many of the sites include downloadable software so you can see the type of analysis they can provide before having to buy.

Re: Opinions on electronic trainers?
I had use of a RIKA for 6 months and then bought a SCATT about 2 or 3 years ago and have used it extensively since. Each one has its little advantages and peculiarities but I think anyone would be satified with either one. I wound up with the SCATT not because I thought it was significantly better than the RIKA, but because it just happened to go on sale at the right time and I saved a few hundred bucks over the price of the RIKA.
I agree that it is no substitute for having a coach looking over your shoulder, but it sure helps you get in some training time when it would otherwise be impossible.
Mine is always set up in my basement. I can go down on a moments notice and be shooting in as long as it takes to "suit up" (rifle shooter with pants, coat, etc.).
Where I live, today it is 20 degrees F outside, with 5 inches of snow on the ground with a snow and sleet storm going on. Not conducive to going to my clubs outdoor range. However, after this post, I will slip downstairs and put in 20 or 40 shots standing on the SCATT. So, it is never too early, late, cold, hot, rainy, windy, or insufficient time to pack all the gear into the car and drive to the range for a few hours of practice. Can get it all done in under one hour. Would not do without one.
Now if I could just find a conveniently located coach..........
