More MantisX Dynamic Drills

New Dynamic Drills for MantisX

We’ve added several new Dynamic drills to expand training for both BlackbeardX and TitanX, plus a few advanced drills made possible only with TitanX’s built-in shot detection and reload tracking.

We've added 3 new dynamic drills to both BlackbeardX and TitanX training:

Bill Drill

Bill Drill in MantisX App

A pure speed-and-control drill.

  • Target: 6 Chest Shots total 

  • No target transitions

  • Trace screen shows a continuous trace playback of all 6 shots

  • Scoring works identically to other Dynamic drills

  • Strong shooters usually won’t see over-travel or transition penalties and will rack up high scores if their splits stay tight. Shooters who chase the laser may see transitions or over-travel added into their metrics, lowering their overall score.

Failure to Stop (often called a Mozambique Drill)

A drill designed to test your speed, accuracy, and decision-making under pressure. 

  • You can run it traditionally as 3 shots on 1 target: 2 to the chest and 1 to the head

  • Or expand to 1, 2, or 3 targets by selecting a Shot Count of 3, 6, or 9 in Drill Settings.

Ready Up

A new drill for testing speed and accuracy of getting on target while maintaining a good score.

  • Defaults to Low Ready

  • Target 1 chest shot

 

TitanX unlocks several new capabilities not possible with BlackbeardX due to TitanX’s built-in shot detection, reload logic, and digital round-counting system.

Holster Draw Analysis - Multiple Shots

Holster Draw Analysis Multi Shot

A drill made to improve speed and accuracy from draw to first shot and follow up shots.  This is a combination drill in which the trace view toggles between holster draw trace and shot trace.  

  • Begin with the firearm in the holster, each time the buzzer goes off, draw and present the firearm and fire the first shot, continue with follow-up shots.  Re-holster and prepare for the next buzzer. 
  • On the Summary tab, each action is labeled as either Holster # or Shot #, holster entries show time only, shot entries show both time and score.
  • On the Segment tab, you’ll see data for any shot that is not from the holster.
  • On the Phase tab, you’ll see data for any shot that is from the holster.
  • In Trace View, the app automatically switches the displayed trace depending on the skill assessed.

El Presidente

El Presidente TitanX Drill

A drill designed to test an array of fundamentals for speed and accuracy.

  • Start facing up range in surrender, turn, draw, and engage.  Shoot 2 chest shots at each of the 3 targets, reload.  Then fire another 2 shots at each of the 3 targets.

R1R

This is a reload-required drill with adjustable shot counts and magazine capacities. Transition scoring is modified so moving to your workspace during the reload won’t negatively affect your score.

New Magazine Capacity Setting

Setting up Magazine Capacity in MantisX App

This setting is available to the R1T TitanX drill, as well as the following standard drills; Open Training, Shot Timer, Par Timer, Strong Hand Only, and Support Hand Only.

  • The magazine capacity is digital only—changing mags early won’t affect round count.

  • When the first digital mag hits zero, the app will give a reload command.

  • Remove and insert a mag to continue into Mag 2.

  • Each magazine can be set independently up to 32 rounds.

  • In the summary view, the split time is shown normally and the reload time appears in brackets [0.00]
