1. A method, comprising:
capturing an image of a scene including an image of a clay target by a shot tracking device, wherein the shot tracking device is mounted on a shooting device;
storing the image in a memory by the shot tracking device;
detecting a recoil produced by a shot from the shooting device, wherein the shot fires a plurality of pellets;
generating a signal based on the recoil that was detected; and
receiving by a shot analysis module the signal from the shot tracking device,
wherein, in response to the signal, the shot analysis module further performs:
calculating a trajectory of the clay target by moving the image of the clay target through measured visual positions in the image of the scene using a three-dimensional (3D) model,
identifying a position of impact of the plurality of pellets with the clay target based on the trajectory and a pattern of the plurality of pellets,
calculating a density of the plurality of pellets at a position of impact with the clay target based on the 3D model,
obtaining a velocity of the plurality of pellets at the position of impact with the clay target,
calculating a kinetic energy of the plurality of pellets at the position of impact based on the velocity of the plurality of pellets and a velocity of the clay target,
calculating a probability of one or more pellets of the plurality of pellets striking the clay target at the position of impact based on the density,
generating a shot analysis comprising a plurality of probabilities of breaking the clay target based on the velocity of the plurality of pellets and the velocity of the clay target, and the probability of the one or more pellets striking the clay target within a plurality of different radii of the position of the clay target, and
displaying via a display device a graphical representation of the plurality of different radii and corresponding probabilities of the plurality of probabilities.
