General Questions
Here you will find general questions about the products.
How does it work? Mantis X?
The Mantis X is a small motion sensor that attaches to the weapon. This sensor measures even the slightest movements of the weapon. As soon as the shooter pulls the trigger, the sensor detects this and sends the data immediately before, during, and after the shot via Bluetooth to the smartphone/tablet.
On the free Mantis The app (iOS/Android) graphically displays the weapon's movement. Thanks to numerous analytical tips, the shooter can immediately see what they can improve.
The app has many exercises and courses that the shooter can use independently.
Is the app available in German?
Yes. The app adopts the smartphone's language setting. It's also available in other languages such as French, Italian, and Spanish.
Can I use that Mantis Can X also shoot sharply?
Yes. With the Mantis With the X3 or X10 Elite you can practice dry-fire training as well as live-fire exercises.
What does the score in the circle mean?
The Mantis X doesn't know where you're aiming. It only knows whether the weapon moved when you pulled the trigger. A score of 100 would mean the weapon didn't move at all while you were firing. For example, a 98.8 would mean a 5mm deviation from the point of aim at 10m and 13mm at 25m.
