This is how easy it is to use the Mantis X of your choice
Assemble the device
Mount the MantisX to the Picatinny/Weaver rail on your handgun. Works with live fire, dry fire, airsoft, and CO2.
Connect your smartphone
Install the Mantis X app. Turn on the Mantis X and then pair your smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth 4.0.
Collect your data
Evaluate your shooting performance, identify areas for improvement, and track your progress over time.
Analyzes every shot
MantisX detects every shot you fire, analyzes the movement of the weapon during the trigger pull, and assigns each shot a value indicating the deviation from the target position.
Promotes improvement
Based on the movement patterns of the firearm, MantisX identifies areas for improvement and offers coaching that enhances your mechanics, results, and precision.
Track your performance
MantisX tracks all your shooting practice and creates useful reports to help you identify your shooting trends, measure your progress, and set appropriate improvement goals.

Rating
Each shot is scored based on how far the shooter has moved from the intended position during the trigger pull. The perfect score is 100 (virtually impossible unless clamped in a vise).
Direction
With each shot, MantisX detects the direction of your movement during the trigger pull. If you tend to shoot to the left, the left sector on the dial will light up. After a few shots, the training device will display the pattern of your movement.
Suggestion
MantisX analyzes a single shot or a group of shots and suggests ways to improve your shooting mechanics. Read the coaching tips to learn what to focus on in your next shooting session.
