MantisX - Pistol/Rifle Hack 6.8.2 + Redeem Codes

I can’t say enough good things about this thing. I’ve put over 4000 trigger pulls on this thing. I’ve done both dry and live fire with it. The multiple graphs help eliminate variables, it gives advice on how to fix discrepancies. I use the play back to look for trends that don’t show up in the score screen. The more I do with it the more I like it. I’ve even taken all my upgrades off my guns to see if they were in fact upgrades. I tested each piece compared the scores and graphs to get each gun dialed in for me. I tried the 250 shots in 500 seconds challenge ( with a minimum score of 80) I was having problems with it not recording all my shots, I emailed them and had a response back the same day. Great service. If you are any type of shooter and want to be better if you don’t have a MantisX, your wrong. I had more improvements on 1000 trigger pulls with the X than I did with 1000 live rounds. Only reason I gave it 5 stars is cause there wasn’t a 6th one!

I got an original MantisX after reading a review. The feedback the system (hardware and software) gave me was invaluable: it allowed me to analyze my shot release and correct mistakes, isolating those from shots there were just aimed in the wrong place. The X10 continues that, and adds additional capabilities.

As I have had questions about the app and the hardware, Chase and Austin have been very helpful. We worked through some early (and elusive!) shot detection algorithm and calibration difficulties, and they never once thought that it was my shooting. Instead, they coached me through getting them data so they could get things resolved.

And, writing this in the midst of several weeks of staying at home because of COVID-19 controls, I can still practice in a meaningful way.

This app along with the associated device have changed shooting for me. I always heard people say “oh practice dry fire drills” for new shooters but if you’re doing something wrong in a dry fire drill you’re just solidifying it for your shooting. This app gives you real time feedback, tells you the possible cause for your shooting misfortune is and tells you how to correct it. It is so beneficial to actually see what you’re doing wrong without having to go to the range and see the results on the target. That being said, even at the range you can use this or take what you’ve learned from dry fire feedback and apply it to your shooting at the range. Completely satisfied. Money well spent. If you want to see better results get it and try it.

I have only tried it for dry fire drills so far. But I understand you can also use it for live fire at the range. They include example videos for any training you don’t understand how to do.
At the range, I was pretty confident for being right on the mark but this has helped me identify small inconsistencies I may be in the habit of. Ex: slapping the trigger, squeezing my hand too tight, anticipation of the fire, etc. and it’s effect without having to spend 1000 rounds of ammo to perfect it.

Completed the Basic Marksmanship Training (earned a literal physical badge) and would love to see more challenges or drills like that to give me training objectives each day.

My carry is a p938, sorta like a small 1911. Mantis sometime registers my safety and a dry fire. Forcing me to practice some drills without (which is stupid cause I holster with the safety on). Also the reload drills don’t work well/if at all because the mantis is installed on my clip. And finally mantis has a poor calculation of your shoot score, sometimes valuing time over target and other times valuing how level the gun is during trigger pull (which is impossible live fire cause you know… the recoil). Which all ends up giving me scores between 98-30%. Even tried a drill in a vice keep the gun level 100% of the time and still score vastly different scores each shot… when the gun was not moving the whole time! Making this only useful for Blackbeardx users and Glock 43 owners.

For a little over a year, I used the original MantisX and there were never any issues. I upgraded to the latest and greatest model and have found it to be plagued with problems. While this newer device and software have useful recoil analysis and holster draw functions, I’ve found that I’ve been unable to use them as much as I’d like because there is always a crash of some kind. MantisX is very responsive and seems to stand behind their product, but there appear to be some major bugs and reliability issues. There are also data deletion issues. If you are able to get it to work, go to the webpage and download your data before it gets deleted. Overall it is a great concept, but it just isn’t worth contacting customer service every time I want to use it. While their customer service is superb, their latest product has left me very disappointed.

I’ll admit I’m usually the guy that just writes negative reviews when an app just doesn’t come close to expectations, but MantisX and their support team have been amazing!

After a lifetime of shooting, it’s difficult to find your bad habits without a LOT of time and effort, but MantisX (I bought the X10 specifically) is the answer, in my humble opinion.

Dry fire training never seemed to be worth the time and getting to the range more than a few times a month is difficult. After using the MantisX for a couple months, I can now say dry fire training is well worth a few minutes each day or so. The proof is in the live fire results, and I’m now a believer. :)

Additionally, even when there’s a problem, the experience is second to none. The support staff is patient, professional, fast to respond, and generally just great to work with. Thanks again Stephen!!

I highly recommend giving them a try!

This is a great little tool that will give you insight and knowledge as well as help you improve your skills without blowing money at the range. Dry firing is great but what good is it if you are just training blind. The mantis allows you to work on weak points and work out those bad habits we all have. Not only does it make training fun but there are various drills on the app that can be practiced dry fire or live fire to break up the same old routine. Out of all the gun accessories I have purchased this has to be the best bang for your buck. 😏

This is one of the best training aids in my toolbox. I love how it measures the movement of the muzzle before, during and after trigger pull. This measuring allows me to review what actually happened and learn what to practice.

There are many different drills in the app to work on various aspects of marksmanship. The app is constantly being updated and support responds very quickly and has solved all of my issues. There are now daily challenges in addition to the badges that can be earned.

This is a great piece of kit, the software just gets better all the time. It seriously finds your weaknesses and let's you diagnose in a way you just can't duplicate without an extremely good coach. Use it dry fire and then use it live fire. There are only a few training aids worth the money. This one is worth every penny. For less than a case of ammo this tool can teach you to be super accurate and improve your speed. If it died tomorrow I'd order another right away. This really is a big deal.
