Laser Academy Training Kit for 9mm, 45 ACP, 380 ACP, 40 S&W | Dry Fire System for Target Practice | Free App, No Subscription | Includes Training Cartridge

We really enjoy this system. It is fun and has lots of drills. You can setup target and just play around or use the app and track everything for improving your skills. There are several systems like this, I just chose Mantis because I like it. Packaged well, but I put everything in an Apache 3800 case (H.F. Tools) and it fits nicely. I can keep the stands, targets, camera sun shades and the Mantis case all tucked nicely in the Apache case ( I put the large target in the lid of the Apache case behind the foam and made a strap to keep it al there. I bought a .380, .223 and an additional 9mm laser to go with it. There are places in the Mantis case to store the extra lasers as well. I think it was well worth the price and i will get lots of use from it,

This is a great dry fire training program. As long as you focus on your draw, grip, presentation, sight picture/alignment and trigger pull you will see an improvement in your speed and accuracy. It isn't without its limitations that any buyer needs to know: 1.) The trigger will have to be reset after each shot by racking the slide. After doing this hundreds or thousands of times, you want to make sure you don't train yourself to rack the slide if in a real world shooting. As the saying goes "in a time of great stress you will revert to your level of training." 2.) The targets must be viewable by the phone's camera which is a pretty narrow field. You can't place multiple targets at different points in a room. If the phone can't see the target, it won't register your shots. There is a good range of shooting programs within the app to include two person challenges who can compete with each other simultaneously. To do this, you will need to purchase an additional laser cartridge. To avoid my point #1 above, I purchased a laserlyte blue training gun. The trigger automatically resets and it works with this program. Overall there is a considerable amount of thought put into this program, and it works as designed. Having the ability to see how you are progressing is a definite plus!

Thank you for sharing your experience. Here's a draft of the review for the Mantis Laser Academy based on your feedback: --- **Review for Mantis Laser Academy** I recently purchased the Mantis Laser Academy, and my experience with it has been extremely positive. This at-home tool is designed to be used with your own firearm, making it a convenient and practical addition to my training routine. **Key Highlights:** - **Variety of Drills:** The Mantis Laser Academy offers a range of drills that make practice sessions more engaging than just shooting at static targets. These drills add a level of entertainment and variety that keeps training sessions interesting. - **Improved Red Dot Acquisition:** One of the significant benefits I've noticed is the faster acquisition of my red dot. The consistent practice with the laser academy has enhanced my speed and accuracy in this area. - **Skill Improvement:** The system is excellent at identifying areas where I need improvement. The feedback provided during the drills is invaluable for honing my skills and becoming a better shooter. Overall, I highly recommend the Mantis Laser Academy to anyone looking to improve their shooting skills at home. It combines practicality, entertainment, and effective training all in one package.

Got this because there are almost no shooting ranges where I live. Setup was pretty quick and easy. The large tripod feel a little flimsy, could be better quality. The blue putty for sticking targets to the wall isn't great. I've been using blue painters tape to hang on the wall. The app is great, but many of the drills on the app require targets that are not included in the box. After I put the laser cartridge in the barrel, I dropped the slide but the slide did not go forward all the way. Also, sometimes where I dry fire the laser does not activate, which means I have to rack the slide again and take another shot, and that messes with my shot times on the app. I spoke to customer support and they said the issue is likely due to friction between the barrel and the O rings on the laser. They recommended I order some CLP oil and rub it on the O rings, so we will see if that works. Overall, would definitely recommend this to other shooters who are just starting out.

Great product and software for dryfire training.

Perfect training tool. Nice and compact. I've been using it for years and still works perfectly.

I picked this up in the 9mm version, and it’s been one of the best training tools I’ve added to my setup. Right out of the box, it was easy to get going—set up the targets, drop in the laser cartridge, connect the app, and you’re ready to start putting in reps. What I really like is the ability to sight in new weapons and fine-tune my trigger control without burning through expensive ammo. With ammo prices these days, this system honestly pays for itself pretty quick. I’ve used it both to get a rough zero on new setups and to stay sharp between range trips. The app is solid too—tracks your shots, gives feedback, and turns practice into more of a challenge instead of just dry firing at a wall. It keeps things interesting and actually makes you want to keep training. Everything included in the kit feels well thought out, especially the multiple targets and phone setup. I’ve used it in my basement and even in the garage, and it’s been consistent every time. Overall, if you’re running a 9mm and want a cost-effective way to practice, improve accuracy, and get comfortable with your gear, this is absolutely worth it.

Took a little time to get used to, but not long to set up. I paired it with a Dryfire Mag for my P365x. I used a different laser so I don't have to rerack. I love this system and all the different options and features that are available to me. I see my myself using this for a long time to come. Plus the added the benefit of saving rounds.
