The Mantis Laser Academy dry fire training kit pairs the Mantis app on your phone with provided targets for dry fire practice with feedback on timing and accuracy. amzn.to/3AU8W04
Hahahaha…i agree about “not annoying” many other videos on you tube go on and on and on before actually getting to the point of the video. You did a great job @SnareMan!!!
Well done Snareman. I’ve seen quite a few reviews of the Mantis Laser Academy system but yours is the BEST I have seen so far. You did a better job explaining what comes with the kit, how it works than the Marketing video on their website. Love the hallway example - just sold me on this product. Going to couple it with my MantisX elite. Keep up the quality work. 👍👍
@@SnareMan just curious, how much relevance does this have to actually develop shooting skills? Asking because obviously there's no big pop or recoil which is the biggest difference between this and a live round. So is this primarily for entertainment? What I mean is, you can't actually expect to hit targets at the range because you can nail them at home right? Your opinion on that?
Great demonstration. I’ve not seen any others shooting from more distance than the typical 5-6 feet and with realistic movements like you did in your video. Thank you.
Thanks! I tried to make something a little bit more realistic out of it to show some better uses than standing 5 ft from the target. Not that there's not value in doing that as well. 🙂
Your presentation was outstanding, I’ve been looking around and came across your video. Great review and it was very informative. I have approximately 40 plus feet in my basement where I can practice different scenarios. Much appreciated.
Finally a clear, to-the-point video which actually demonstrates what comes with the product and how it functions. Thanks, you sold me on the Mantis products. I'll give them a try.
After this video, Im going to purchase this kit. The fact that you have a mini Neil Peart kit behind you sealed the deal! RIP, Professor. His 'Signals'-era red Tamas is my favorite sounding set!! Cheers!
I have one of these, a mantis x, and the blackbeard. These items are some of the best training devices on the market. With today's ammo situation these become a must have. Informative video
Do I need this to use the mantis X or will it work without this kit? I'm looking at buying the system but I'm trying to avoid unnecessary repetition of products.
@@rich32471 You can use the mantis x as a stand alone. The academy is great in different ways as it allows for multiple targets and etc. I have both and utilize them each in different ways.
Another great video - thank you! AFA what you so correctly expressed as a potential concern...namely, creating the muscle memory of racking the slide after each trigger pull...certainly an issue with striker fired pistols. However, if you use a DA/SA hammer fired pistol...sure, each pull is a heavier DA pull, but no slide racking concerns.
I just ordered the one today I will be looking forward to using it every single day but AMO and going to a shooting range can be time consuming and costly plus you can't go to a range on bad weather days I'm so grateful I learned about this learning tool
Great video, the only downside is having to rack the slide every time, but it will make you better at racking the slide, and you don't have to pull the slide all the way back just enough to reset the trigger.
I agree the racking of the slide is not preferred. It’s about muscle memory when it comes to self defense. In a real situation it could cause the person to rack the slide after each shot.
There is such a thing as a resetting trigger, at least for Glock pistol and maybe others. It cocks the striker with each pull of the trigger without racking the slide, enabling you to fire several laser bursts in a row. You can do a search to look for one. One place that sells a resetting trigger for Glocks is The Glock Store in San Diego. I would be tempted to get one if I owned a Glock, but I don't.
First time using Laser Academy. Love the MantisX with dryfire mag, but this is a huge step up with the laser. Sure have to rack every shot, but that helps with getting comfortable with the gun.
We just received ours today, & I wish I could have had this when I first started shooting, or at the least when it first came out. While it does have issues the biggest being the need to rack your slide (or in the case of a Glock purchase a $200 resetting trigger you need to constantly swap out) it is well worth $150. My wife, & I both have our CCWs the cost for us to get regular range time, & the cost of ammo is a lot for a single-income large family which brings me to my other point. I have nine kids seven still at home and a daughter that lives nearby (she also has her CCW). I am unaware of any free public pistol/rifle ranges, and even if we have a free-range, or are shooting at a friend's range the cost of ammo is depressing (even just 9mm), not to mention taking a bunch of kids to an outdoor range in Nebraska in the Winter so they can sit around, and freeze, or in the car while each kid gets some trigger time is a cold, slow process. Another issue out here is some ranges require children to be 13, & I have even seen 16yo as a minimum to shoot even with a parent. This product solves so many issues for us. I also am planning on getting the Mantix X Elite which is great for dry fire, as well as live-fire training, & both systems will work with the Blackbeard AR15 resetting trigger/laser package Mantis offers. I would love to see a Blackbeard variant for us AK guys soon. Our next purchase will certainly be a SIRT pistol so we don't have to use an actual firearm as well as have a resetting trigger. Thanks for the review.
I agree with all of the above. This is a nice alternative to paying for ammo and going to a range. Hopefully they'll eventually come out with something like they have for the ARs where you don't have to rack the slide.
just wanted to let you know that I've watched nearly every one of these Mantis videos and your's is the one that sold me--watching the hallway use was a great idea! maybe do other gun stuff too? on the smith and wesson csx? or p365 and xl?
They do make a reset trigger for most of the really popular pistols, including Glock. I forget the guys name that came up with it years ago, but it's been around a long time. I bet if you Google reset trigger you would find it. He has been doing training videos since at least 1980. I just watched him talk about it last night.
I have a Glock 22 & 23 I got the dry fire mag for the 22 and it will fit both guns. No slide rack after every round. I use my iPad to shoot works about as good as a dry fire set up can.
Nice shooting Tex! I always knew snares had the best hand-eye coordination! ;-) That's really not a bad price for what all they give you. I had something similar 10 years ago but the laser shell broke fairly quick. If you can buy replacement shells this is a great tool for realistic practice. I feel bad for any bass drummer who tries to break into your place lol. Good review partner!
The best detailed getting started video thus far I wish my ass would’ve watched this before trying to do this myself and charged my damn card for the app $49 bc I didn’t know how to enter the code for full access nor could I get my laser to work not knowing to remove the black piece of paper on the batteries smh! They need instructions
I just ordered this two days ago and I am so excited to try it. I am a bit worried about the training scare of re-racking my gun in a real life scenario compared to practicing with the mantis. I will just have to make sure I continue practicing at the range least once a month with live rounds.
@@SnareMan just a follow up. I just received my mantis laser academy today. I had so much fun! I have practiced on it until I could not pull the trigger anymore. The last time I did that was when I used up over 300 rounds or over $120. This is definitely worth the money. My question is how long before you need a replacement laser bullet? Or does anyone even know?
Great Video. I just got this off Apple App Store. Free version trialing for now. Using my G-Sight Elms laser cartridge. Like it a lot. Had a couple questions. I can’t look back past current day to see previous drills. What are the 2W/3M/6M numbers for above your daily drill list. Can’t seem to find info on these features. Thanks
I'm planning on eventually getting the "Coolfire Trainer" to pair with my newly acquired laser training academy, do I don't have to reset the trigger everytime and get a more realistic training or of it. It's add to the cost but pays for itself over time in ammo savings. Especially in times when ammo is hard to get and cost a premium.
So i got this yesterday, man I have to say it is incredible. I played with it for like 3 hours straight it's so addicting. For all the new shooters like the guy in the video said don't get that training scar from having to rack the slide every shot. The only thing i was kinda disappointed with was I tried to connect my Bluetooth speaker to my phone so i could turn up the volume for the gunshot make it a little more realistic, but the only sound that would come out of the speaker was the shooting beeper. But overall it's well worth the money.
@@stevenphelps1072 It might be a while before I can get one, but, shall do so as a gift to my Dad. It difficult for me to acquire a firearm in my state, but,where I came from, the state to the north of me is much more free so to own a firearm. I plan to try training it out at his place, as he will be able to do at his leisure.
You can use the TRT Tap Rack Dry Fire Safety Training Aid 9MM/.40 Cal Pistol Magazine Dummy Ammo inserted in the magazine. It prevents the slide from locking back. It depresses the mag follower so it won't activate the slide lock. Mantis sells these in a 3-pack. Amazon also sells them. I use them along with my A-Zoom Striker Caps for dry fire practice.
Hi, thanks for the video, best video i found on the laser academy. I'm very interested by this system, do you still use it after 11 month? No problem on the laser with the percussion? No bad habits to rack the slide every time? Thank you
Great video, thanks! My even go to the bathroom in the morning gun EDC is a hammer fired DA only Sig 290 RS. Racking the slide in dry fire to me trains a bad habit. I would not do that. With that gun I don't need to reload the striker coz there is none. My home defense is a CZ P 09, also hammer fired. But beeing a DA/SA only the first round would be realistic. But what I can do in DA, I can do in SA even better. If I have to carry my CZ 10 S appendix, my Sig becomes back up, so I need another laser round. Does the bigger kit include two rounds? With the striker fired P 10 S, I would only do a single shot from appendix. Coming from revolvers I ask myself if the 9 mm (356) would hold in the chamber of my 357 mag as well with that o-ring? Freedom to the US y libertad a Sudamérica desde otro lado del mundo
TRT tap racks solve the magazine lock back. It's like a dummy round cut in half to hold the magazine follower down without interfering with the slide in any way.
**WOW! I just order a kit from LASERHIT. It should be here today. Now, I am praying that it is as good (or better) than what I just watched. Your demo was awesome. If not, this will be me 🫣🥺☹️😥 **
Can the Mantis X & this be used at the same time so you'd know why you're missing your target? I too thank you for making this, I really appreciate it.
Good demo. It looks like each “drill” is basically the same. Disappointing that an IDPA target does not score like shooting IDPA. Seems like Mantis needs to put more thought into this product. Thanks for saving me some money.
Thanks for this info. I think I’m gonna pick this system up. As a side note, I’m a fellow Rush lover and love your Peart set on the shelf, and little Geddy and Alex. Also, did you march corps? Shoot straight brother and thanks again for the great demo.
Hey. Here's the Rush set: ruclips.net/video/10idhpF3W-U/видео.htmlsi=i9eQFHd6hXDH4Szr And yep, I marched Bluecoats. Here's the alumni corps line warming up last year: ruclips.net/video/9tNB28o39As/видео.htmlsi=ZNogt4X3eNLv2jiA
This should be great for training those double action flyers i get every first shot i take with the beretta 92. Sometimes I completely miss the target lol
Hi great video. Do you need to purchase the Laser Academy kit to use the App's reflective target feature? Or is this free and can it be used with any compatible laser training pistol?
Ok, What are the expendables, are the supplied targets required due to the software i.e. target recognition, and are the adhesives to hang the targets proprietary? What are my continuing costs? Is there a plan for SW update, that is improved training courses? Will there be user input?
Maybe you'd have to buy some new sticky stuff to put the targets on the wall, but you could just use some scotch tape or something so its not really much of a cost. Not sure about updates. That's a question for Mantis.
Maybe I missed it but what is being ejected and dropping on the floor after you shoot?? As an instructor it seems to me your developing muscle memory to rack the slide after each shot. Can’t be helped but it’s something to be aware of.
A couple thoughts. You aren't the only reviewer that doesn't mention to use a little oil on laser cartridge to protect the seals. Easy to miss that in their instructions. Have you tried to use the Dry Fire Mag to avoid the racking between shots? Good Video!!!
I am interested on this laser kit. Given the size of the targets that can be printed or ordered, what is the realistic distance to shoot at the targets?
@@SnareMan funny....I just watched the Peart vid where you mention the purchases....love them both...very nice detail....interesting eclectic channel...I came for the Mantis research and here I find a fellow 2A percussionist...🤣....I played professionally for 27 years and now just shed on a Roland E-kit of which I never imagined myself doing having come from the Simmons, Korg days....Roland makes a sweet e-kit....go figure.....good vids will check out the rest....stay well brother....👍💥🇺🇲💥
Only negative is having to rack the slide every time. Could lead to a habit that you don't want in a real life defensive situation. Glockstore makes one (for Glocks, obviously) that resets the trigger every time.
@@SnareMan it's a two part piece. There is a piece that goes on the magazine that keeps the follower depressed which will prevent lock back of the slide.
Best video I have seen on the product so far, and NOT annoying. Well done.
Thanks!!
What is annoying about the other ones?

I too thank you for making this, I really appreciate it.
Does the code to unlock all the in-app features come with the compact kit or the standard?
Thanks for the review. I am torn between buying the mantis X3 and the Mantis Laser Academy. What do you recommend?
That system is another money, making hope. I use my air gun and some inside targets I get the same effect.
It's a little more to clean up but I supposedly you get some shooting action with it

how does it let you know issues with your trigger pull?
I agree that resetting your trigger can develop a habit.😳
This should be great for training those double action flyers i get every first shot i take with the beretta 92. Sometimes I completely miss the target lol
Bro, you're fast!
Medium fast maybe
@@SnareMan humble, I respect that. But I'm impressed!
Hi great video. Do you need to purchase the Laser Academy kit to use the App's reflective target feature? Or is this free and can it be used with any compatible laser training pistol?
Or you could certainly use the laser with any target but I think the app recognizes this specific targets for scoring purposes and stuff
Try pairing it the Coolfire training system. It will cycle your slide and give you some recoil.
Nice video! But more interesting are the mini drum kits. Where did you get them????
Here you go. 🙂 ruclips.net/video/10idhpF3W-U/видео.html
Ok, What are the expendables, are the supplied targets required due to the software i.e. target recognition, and are the adhesives to hang the targets proprietary? What are my continuing costs? Is there a plan for SW update, that is improved training courses? Will there be user input?
Maybe you'd have to buy some new sticky stuff to put the targets on the wall, but you could just use some scotch tape or something so its not really much of a cost. Not sure about updates. That's a question for Mantis.
Great review! Where did you get the Neil Peart bookshelf kit behind you?
Thanks! Here you go: ruclips.net/video/10idhpF3W-U/видео.html
Maybe I missed it but what is being ejected and dropping on the floor after you shoot?? As an instructor it seems to me your developing muscle memory to rack the slide after each shot. Can’t be helped but it’s something to be aware of.
A couple thoughts.
You aren't the only reviewer that doesn't mention to use a little oil on laser cartridge to protect the seals. Easy to miss that in their instructions.
Have you tried to use the Dry Fire Mag to avoid the racking between shots?
Good Video!!!
Correct me if I'm wrong but it seems to me the dryfiremag negates the fire pin which would not allow the laser to be triggered
I have a ruger 380 will it work
Is every kit caliber specific.
Or can you buy different shells that works with the same program?
I'm thinking you could buy individual shells, but I'd check with Mantis to be sure
I am interested on this laser kit. Given the size of the targets that can be printed or ordered, what is the realistic distance to shoot at the targets?
I its really just limited by how far you can see them well. The laser should go as far as you. need it to.
The 1911 just pull the hammer back and it is ready to send the laser beam. John Browning was thinking ahead, Thanx for run down on the Mantis.
You're welcome. Thanks for watching!
Question, did you have to zero the laser with your red dot. I have a Glock with a delta point pro and want to make sure the dot and the laser line up?
good question. Admittedly I didn't try that since my red dot is zeroed for the gun itself. I wouldn't want to have to keep resetting the red dot.
Good question
I hear something like BBs dropping after you shoot. is this correct?
That's the app simulating empty shell casings falling on the floor
Would i have to rack every time if my pistol is double action?
I don't have any double action guns but I think so if you want to get it back into single action mode
Nice vid....helped on my decision on either the Strikeman or Mantis....where you find the cool Ringo kit?....subbed...👍🥁
Thanks! Ringo was cheap from Amazon, Neil Peart was not cheap. I have a video on it
@@SnareMan funny....I just watched the Peart vid where you mention the purchases....love them both...very nice detail....interesting eclectic channel...I came for the Mantis research and here I find a fellow 2A percussionist...🤣....I played professionally for 27 years and now just shed on a Roland E-kit of which I never imagined myself doing having come from the Simmons, Korg days....Roland makes a sweet e-kit....go figure.....good vids will check out the rest....stay well brother....👍💥🇺🇲💥
@@devilsden2283 Thanks! Yea, I started out doing mostly gear reviews, but have branched out a bit. It's a fun side hobby. 🙂
Are there limitations on distance? As I generally shoot from 25m
I mean, it's a laser so not really but the phone looking at the target would have to be somewhere up close to be able to see it
Will this fit a Sig Sauer P322c gun?
I don't have one so I can't say for sure.
Only negative is having to rack the slide every time. Could lead to a habit that you don't want in a real life defensive situation. Glockstore makes one (for Glocks, obviously) that resets the trigger every time.
BarreBloks are great to use with something like this!
Google has never heard of BarreBloks
@@SnareMan oops, missing an l.
They're called BarrelBlok.
@@AustinCello Those wouldn't with with this because the laser comes out of the barrel.
@@SnareMan it's a two part piece. There is a piece that goes on the magazine that keeps the follower depressed which will prevent lock back of the slide.
@@AustinCello Ah. Ok
Do you know what they call the guy that hangs out with the musicians?????? ( the drummer)......
LOL
Lawl..awesome. Laser tag at home. Has anyone tried pinning The targets to people!?
Never mind..targets are stationary. Hmm? Cell phone holder for gun?
Never mind, you’d need a cell phone holder for your gun.
Brogram is not work !! Why?
How does a crimson trace effect the unit
Not sure
What pistol are you using?
M&P9
Can you use 38 cal Lazer and if so what brand
Not sure. You'd have to check with them.
