With guided drills and real-time feedback, the Mantis Laser Academy dry fire laser target system allows you to have a training facility at home and at your convenience. Get quality reps with your own equipment and experience a higher level of dry fire laser target training with positive results you can see and feel. Laser Academy’s variety of drill options also keep things fresh for shooters, making practice feel more like a game and less like a chore.
The Laser Academy system utilizes a laser training cartridge that drops into the chamber of your firearm, delivering a laser beam down the barrel every time the firing pin strikes the round. Using physical targets, these laser “shots” are read by your phone or tablet and scored accordingly, per mode. The simplicity of the setup is what provides the flexibility for when and where you can practice.
Four training modes are included with the free version of the Laser Academy app. The Laser Academy kits includes an activation code that will unlock the remaining training modes:
Open Shooting - Single Target: Basic target shooting with scoring and the ability to store sessions to track your progress.
Shot From Guard/Low Ready - One Shot: Starting from a prompt, this mode times your shot and tracks accuracy in single-shot sessions.
Die Hard - Starting from the prompt, requires two quick and accurate shots to save the hostage.
Bullseye - Five-shot: Untimed, no prompts, receive scores and splits from five shot rounds.
The full access activation code included with the Laser Academy kit provides access to additional training options:
Open Shooting - Multiple Targets: Basic target shooting with multiple target scoring and the ability to store sessions to track your progress.
Hunt - Find and hit your target as quickly as possible. Easy, Medium, and Hard

What is the difference between the MantisX Shooting Performance System, Laser Academy, and Blackbeard? + -
MantisX is a motion-based shooting system that analyzes movement during the firing process. Based on this movement, the system is able to give you feedback on likely errors in your technique and what you might be doing to cause those errors. Think of it as a diagnostic tool, like a study guide, that you continue to use to improve until it is time for the test.
Laser Academy gives you point of impact data while dry-fire training with your firearm. It will give you hit locations, the time between shots, and scores depending on the target used. Laser Academy is the test. Obtain sight picture, press the trigger, and if you are getting great scores, you know all the work you put into the study guide paid off. If not, get back to the study guide.
Blackbeard's base function is to reset the trigger in AR-15 rifles without breaking your form to rack the charging handle while practicing in a dry fire scenario. The laser-enabled variants allow use with various laser-based training systems, including Mantis Laser Academy.
