Today’s episode is also brought to you by the following:

This episode is brought to you by LASR Classic trainer.
I use the LASR Classic system in classroom because it allows me to teach first time gun owner proper site alignment and trigger control without stepping on the range. Saving me time and the student money by not firing rounds down range. When the student is ready, they know what to do because of the classroom training.
LASR classic is easy to setup and tear down because all you need is a laptop with a webcam to use it. That allows you to set it up anywhere you can take your laptop. The application also works with any laser device from laser cartridge you put in your firearm to dedicated laser trainers.
LASR is veteran owned and operated.

I’ve been a long time Mantis user from their original MantisX to the Mantis X10 and now excited about their most recent product Mantis Blackbeard X.
The Mantis BlackBeard X combines the MantisX10 and the Mantis Blackbeard into one platform for the AR15. It unleashes a completely new capability with in-depth dynamic shooting analysis. Including motion-based analysis and multi-target engagement. Something no one has done before.
Mantis BlackbeardX connects to your smartphone via bluetooth and you can easily download the MantisX application that gives you all the drills and history from previous sessions.
MantisX changed the way I train and I think you’ll find the Mantis BlackbeardX it a great training aid for yourself and your students.
