The Mantis BlackbeardX combines the two most powerful training platforms available - the MantisX and the Mantis Blackbeard. Additionally, it unleashes a completely new capability that the world has never seen before: in-depth dynamic shooting analysis. BlackbeardX goes far beyond a shot timer - it includes motion-based analysis of your efficiency in a high-speed, multi-target engagement. It analyzes your economy of motion across multiple dimensions, giving you real-time feedback on where and how you can improve your dynamic shooting.
Features
ENHANCE DRY FIRE TRAINING WITH SHOOTING DRILLS AND REAL-TIME FEEDBACK - Genius? Yes. Complicated? No. The BlackbeardX connects to the existing MantisX Pistol/Rifle app via Bluetooth, and gives you access to all the drills and courses you are already accustomed to. Additionally, new drills are unlocked and displayed automatically when connected to a BlackbeardX.
HOW DOES BLACKBEARDX IMPROVE TRAINING? - Each of the dynamic shooting drills gives you a score (0-100) based on a combination of three factors:
ANALYZES ON-TARGET DELAY SCORE - Most shooters delay on target for longer than they need to. This metric tells you exactly how long you delay - and how much faster you could go with the same level of accuracy.
ASSESS OVER TRAVEL SCORE FOR MULTIPLE TARGETS - Multi-target transitions are often accompanied by moving the gun past or through a target before coming back to take the shot. BlackbeardX quantifies the egregiousness of the over-travel movement.
HELPS YOU FIND EFFECTIVE TRANSITION PATHS WHEN SHOOTING - Combining these three metrics with a visualization of your shooting scenario crystallizes understanding we never had access to before. The most efficient path between two targets? A straight line. Deviate from that path, and your score decreases. The more efficient the path, the more effective the shooting.
COMPARE SESSIONS TO FIND SPECIFIC AREAS OF IMPROVEMENT - Compare your session to previous session or those of other shooters. Every dimension is comparatively scored, with overlaid visualizations to easier distill strengths/weaknesses and consistencies/inconsistencies.
HEAT MAPS TO TRACE HOW MOVEMENT IMPACTS SPEED - A quick toggle enables you to see where your speed changes are impacting your movements, and how your movements are impacting your speed changes .
ADJUST DRILL SETTINGS BASED ON SKILL LEVEL - You can set the allowable/acceptable on-target delay, the start buzzer timing constraints, and par times.
ANALYZE PHASE TIMES IN DETAILED SHOT-BY-SHOT BREAKDOWNS - A detailed shot-by-shot breakdown of how long you stayed on target post-shot (goal: minimize this and start transitioning sooner), how much time was spent transitioning, and how much time you stayed on target pre-shot.
