This episode is also brought to you by MantisX
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.
Checkout MantisX.com for more information on the Mantis products including the new Mantis BlackbeardX systems.

Break the 180-degree plan by using LASR to setup a realistic shooting scenario for yourself or with others. Dry fire practice is used by professional all the time so why not introduce the benefits of it to your students

Use LASR classic to reach students who may not have a firearm or when a range is not close. Use LASR to help break students anticipating a shot. How the students practice engaging at multiple targets in their house or place of business. LASR is easy to setup and tear down because all you need is a Windows 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 verteran owned and operated.
