The MantisX app just got a major update, bringing more features, more drills, and more ways to challenge yourself! Whether you're a seasoned shooter or just getting started, these new additions are designed to take your training to the next level. Let’s dive into the 5 biggest features in this update!
If you love a good challenge, you’re going to love this new feature! Now, when you switch over to rifle mode, you’ll see a daily challenge at the top of the drills list. Each day, take on a new challenge and see how your score ranks among other shooters.
Some challenges mirror the pistol challenges, while others are designed specifically for rifles—including some that take advantage of the BlackbeardX system! You can even save your top 5 favorite challenges to the drill list for quick access later.
Staying consistent with your training has never been easier. With the Daily Shot Goal feature, you can set a target for how many shots you want to fire each day. Each session contributes to this goal, and after completing a drill, you’ll see a cool animation showing your progress.
Once you hit your shot goal, you’ll get a celebration and watch your progress graph fill up. Keep shooting beyond your goal, and the percentage will continue to climb—perfect for those days when you want to push your limits! Plus, your streak of daily completions will increase, and you can track both your current and best streak in the History tab.
Want to keep track of your progress at a glance? Now, with Quick Stats, you can! On the Train tab, you’ll see stats for each drill you’ve trained in the past 7 days, including your best score and total shots taken. These stats are displayed on the right side of the screen and also above the drill’s start screen, so you’re always reminded of your top scores.
For the competitive shooters out there, this update includes a huge upgrade to ISSF drills. When you turn on ISSF mode in the advanced settings, the Train tab will switch over to display ISSF events, complete with updated descriptions and courses of fire according to the latest handbooks.
Both pistol and rifle events have been updated, including popular events like:
Pistol | Rifle |
Open Training | Open Training |
10m Air Pistol | 10m Air Rifle |
10m Mixed Team Air Pistol | 10m Mixed Team Air Rifle |
25m Pistol | 50m Air Rifle |
25m Rapid Fire Pistol | 300m Air Rifle |
25m Center Fire Pistol | Biathlon |
25m CISM Military Rapid Fire | Biathlon Sprint |
25m Standard Pistol | Target Spring 10m |
50m Air Pistol |
This makes it easier than ever to train for ISSF, Biathlon, and CISM events with MantisX.
Data lovers, this one’s for you! The update introduces 8 brand new Comparison Graphs in the History tab, allowing you to compare session data across multiple drills, firearms, and over time. You can compare things like:
You can also filter by time frame, firearm type, and practice type to get the most detailed view of your training. While some features like BBX Dynamics and Holster Draw Analysis aren’t included in these graphs just yet, there’s still plenty of data to dig into!
With these new features, MantisX is giving you more control, more challenges, and more ways to track your progress. Whether you’re working towards a daily shot goal, mastering rifle challenges, or analyzing your data with comparison graphs, this update is packed with tools to make you a better shooter.
So what are you waiting for? Update your app and start exploring these awesome new features today!
