Has anyone used this system for dry fire practice and live fire? I really need something to help with accuracy in between range sessions.

Actual users comments would be very helpful. Thank you.

I have one and got one for a buddy. My friends proved to be a bit problematic during actual live fire. It kept malfunctioning. They replaced his and it improved but he reports that he still has to reset it a couple of times during a range session. I’ve only used mine for dry fire and haven’t had any issues.. ymmv

Love it. Combined with video recording the Holster Draw Analysis has really helped me cut down my draw time.

In live fire I mostly use it for experimenting with different recoil control techniques -- it's kind of spotty for that but the rough data can still be helpful.

Also use it when changing/adjusting sights -- I don't adjust them unless Mantis tells me I'm shooting 90%+

Also somewhat useful for instructing/diagnosing new shooters.

I have one and get the benefit from it. I have seen it work well for everyone from new shooters to experienced shooters and have personally seen the benefit. I like that I can train with or without ammo and that it gives me feedback on multiple issues.

We're always told, "dry fire" do it as much as possible, the only problem is feedback.

Sitting in your chair at night and doing dry fire the same incorrect way you shoot doesn't result in improved performance.

20 years ago that was all you had, Tech has entered the building,

Seems logical that when properly used you would at least get feedback from the system to see if you are getting any improvement from dry fire practice.

I'm an amateur. So I do the dry fire thing. I do it the night before I go shoot w/ a buddy an hour away, only a couple times/yr.
When we're done I get bombarded by questions about how I can get him to shoot on target like I do along w/ sight picture questions, grip questions, etc. People walk by and comment on my target implying that I shoot a lot. Um, no, can't afford it.

No, I suck. I just cheat the night before w/ analog dry fire. I might be doing things wrong but it always makes me look good. I still need a copy of a zombie movie for dry-fire practice. Then I'll own the range.
