GETTING STARTED:
Once you have your gear, you are ready to train. Before getting started check the training area and all firearms for safety. Ensure any firearms are unloaded and remove live ammunition from the training area.

- Place your smartphone on the tripod and point the rear camera at the target(s) you have placed.

- Launch the Mantis Laser Academy app on your phone, select a drill, and proceed to train.

DRILLS and SMART TARGETS:
The Mantis Laser Academy app has a variety of drills focused on different aspects of shooting. Some drills require specific smart targets. Other drills work with any smart target. Several drills support multiple targets and allow local competition between shooters.

Smart targets are automatically detected and scored by Mantis Laser Academy. Using smart targets provides the most enjoyable and valuable training experience. The Control Target allows you to Start, Stop, Clear, and Close in the app by shooting specific regions on the Control Target.

Great! But more settings needed

This tool is amazing!! I was wanting more training with my Glock 43x bc it’s my EDC right now. I’m a bit sadden that no one provides a dry fire mag that can be used with the system, I would love to train with this without having to reset the pin. Never the less, while using this system, it would be great if we could create our own courses or drills. The drills that are provided are great, but more customization would be awesome. For example; I would great to have failure drills and reloading drills interwoven into a custom drill. That way while training it could utilize all factors that could happen in a training situation.
Also, I would love it if we could get more sounds and also have the ability to reduce volume/remove sounds. The whistle is one of the annoying things I wish I could remove and keep other sounds while training.

Great product, keep it up!

Instead of a dry-fire mag, you may want to get a TRT to keep your slide from locking.

The Mantis Laser Academy Rocks!!

Absolutely love the Mantis Laser Academy dry-fire training system. I’ve only had it for a couple weeks and have already spent many hours with it. Considering the ammo I’ve saved training this way, it’s probably almost paid for itself already. You’re obviously not going to simulate recoil but that’s not what this is about. You are practicing the draw, aiming, trigger finger technique, drills, etc. I even used the system to zero a red dot at home and and it worked great, getting perfect results at the range afterwards. Once my wife tried it, she liked it so much that she wanted her own LOL!!

I would have given the App a full 5 stars but a couple of the courses/drills seem to be a little buggy and shut down the app unexpectedly while using. Obviously frustrating when you’re starting to get into it and have a rhythm going. Hopefully, the app developers will get that worked out so I can update this review with the full five stars. The app is great otherwise, so I’m fully confident they will work out these flaws in future updates!!
Mantis Laser Academy is a must have in my opinion!!

Great app … with a minor twist.

New user here - love the app, makes dry fire training so much fun! Once I got the hang of it and figured how to use it - it’s been a blast!
However, I struggled with it for the first couple of days - couldn’t figure out how to get the sound working. Videos, drills - everything was on mute - took me a while to realize that the app doesn’t produce a sound if the iPhone it’s running on is in silent mode.
This is very strange, up until now the silent mode only blocked the ringtone - ALL other apps run just fine with sound on, loud and clear. Not this one - keep it in mind and turn the silent mode off if you’re wondering how to get it to “talk” to you. Otherwise, great stuff with lots of good features.
(Developers - turn the sound on for good, there is really no good reason to mute the app in silent mode.)
