MantisX for Archery

MANTISX ARCHERY TRAINER 

Beyond the realm of firearms, we've created a deeply insightful training tool for archery. Whether you're looking to tighten your groups for competition or to boost accuracy and confidence for your next hunt, the Mantis X8 and X10 models are designed to tell you the whole story of every shot, from before your draw to after the release. Not only do you receive real-time visual feedback on your shot mechanics, you also get suggestions and coaching for each arrow let loose. Mantis X shows you what your eyes can't see so you can shoot better, FAST. 

Your shot-to-shot data isn’t confined to a single session either, Mantis X allows you to collect training results for a historical look at progress made and where you can continue to improve. Previously unavailable observations are now yours, meaning you can self-diagnose or use in coordination with an instructor. 

Speaking of collaboration, you can also create or join groups within the app to work with training partners towards shared goals, or, of course, for a bit of friendly competition. 

HOW THE X8/X10 ARCHERY WORKS

You will attach the Mantis X8 to the riser of your bow using the Mantis Sight Rail Adapter or Universal MagRail Adapter. Mantis will then track all of the movement of that bow during all stages of your shot. The key to becoming a better archer is consistency, and Mantis will allow you to analyze each part of your shot to become a most consistent and accurate archer.

  1. The blue line is upward movement during the setup/draw.
  2. The green line is downward movement during the setup/draw.
  3. The yellow line is as you approach the center of the target.
  4. The orange line is how steady you are during your hold before the release. This is the section Mantis X8 will score you on.
  5. The white "X" is when you released the arrow.
  6. The white line is the movement between the time you release the arrow, and the arrow clears the bow.
  7. The red "X" is when the arrow cleared the bow.
  8. The red line is your movement after the shot.

Archery Stability ChartAt the bottom of the screen, there are tabs to select which portion of the shot you want to study. You can study the setup, hold, release, or your full shot process. At the top, there are tabs to study the pitch and cant of the bow, times for each part of the shots, and arrow placement to keep track of your scores and hits on target. Check out this detailed video that helps explain the app in more detail.


THE ARCHER'S MARKSMANSHIP TOOL 

For use with compound, recurve, and even crossbows, you can switch your Mantis X8 system back and forth from each, depending on what you feel like shooting that day. And if you want to throw firearm training into the mix, the X10 covers your choice of bow, pistol, shotgun, rifle, and air rifles, making for one powerfully dynamic training tool.
