Has anyone heard of this? It popped up on my Amazon recommendations. I know nothing about it, but it sounds interesting.
I have a Laserlyte that I dry fire occasionally, but it just gives the basic information of where your shots "hit" the laser target. This thing looks to give info on shooting technique. At least from the ad - again, I know nothing about it and was curious.

No knowledge, but this does look interesting. Especially since it allows for both dry fire and live fire. Watching this thread...

My shooting buddy got one for Christmas. I'll get his take on it.

I really like the idea of them. I just don't know how well it is executed "off the drawing board" so to speak.
A lot of this sports tech seems to work pretty well though, for instance tracking how runners run and stuff. You'd think there would be something viable for shooting by now.

Can I duct tape it to the gun, I don't have any with a rail.

This is a thing?

I saw some weird recommendations after I clicked the MantisX link as well. Like some really Rube Goldberg hand strengtheners. It's amazing what people come up with to sell...and to buy.

Thread drift... I met a guy who was a really good competitive trap/skeet shooter. Like Olympic team good. To help train his eyes and maintain the ability to quickly find and track moving objects, he would take a golf ball, color in one dimple on the ball, and sit around tossing the ball in the air, looking for the color dot and tracking that dot. On long drives, especially as a passenger, he would look not at road signs, but try to look at the bolt heads on the road signs and track them as they pass the sign. Sounds like the same concept as the string-thing jamis posted about.

Customer reviews seem very positive. Maybe someone here could volunteer to be the $160 Guinea pig?

My friend did it.
He likes his set-up. It requires an app and an account, but it seems to track everything. He says it is very easy to use.
This is his long winded response:
"Yes. I like it. Need to use it more.
Download app. You can do it now. Sync once. Make account once. Mount on rail or mag floorplate, shoot. Easy. Done."
There you go. He is one hell of a salesman.

Thanks for checking with your friend. At least it sounds like it's not a gimmick or crap. I'll need to research it further then. I do like that it works for live fire as well as dry fire.
