MantisX

A special feature of the Mantis X is the very approach to the training process, based on data collection and analysis. All this is made possible by a smart sensor.
When attached to the weapon, the Mantis X sensor captures and analyzes the trajectory and every movement of the weapon during firing, as well as during the aiming and holding period, and then sends the data to the shooter's phone or tablet, which is analyzed by the control software. Each shot is scored based on how far the shooter moved away from the aiming position while pulling the trigger. A maximum score of 100 means that you have not moved at all, which is almost impossible. In addition, MantisX determines the direction of the barrel movement. As a result, the program provides practical recommendations aimed at correcting and improving shooting skills.

For general information, I would like to point out the scale and extensive experience of the developer company, which offers a similar product for shooting bows. The Mantis X8 is suitable for traditional, Olympic and compound bows. In addition, the developer indicates the possibility of using it even with crossbows. The sensor is attached to the bow using a special adapter and, just like with a firearm, with the help of an application it allows you to fully analyze the movement of the bow throughout the shot. We will return to the discussed kit for firearms.

MantisX shooting performance systems are suitable both for individuals who follow the system recommendations to improve their own skills and for professional instructors to control and monitor the training process. MantisX also offers its own Laser Academy training system for dry fire training. This system uses a laser training cartridge that is dispatched into the chamber and directs a laser beam every time the firing pin hits the cartridge. The points of impact are read by the camera of the phone or tablet with the app installed and assess each shot. This principle is used in almost all laser shooting ranges, both with static and dynamic interactive target environments.

In such training it is very important to use high-quality software. To create your own virtual shooting ranges, as well as to easily set up obstacles, training routes and targets, the Shooting-soft company offers shooting simulator programs such as Target Constructor, Pro target constructor, and Pro Tactical Constructor. In addition, you can take advantage of a variety of ready-made game plots, such as Basic shooting simulator games.
