Blackbeard X (Red)
The Mantis BlackbeardX combines the two most powerful training platforms available — the MantisX and the Mantis Blackbeard. It also unleashes a completely new capability that the world has never seen before: in-depth dynamic shooting analysis.
BlackbeardX goes far beyond a shot timer — it includes motion-based analysis of your efficiency in a high-speed, multi-target engagement. It analyzes your economy of motion across multiple dimensions, giving you real-time feedback on where and how you can improve your dynamic shooting. This product resets the trigger without having to charge the charing handle.
The BlackbeardX connects to the existing MantisX Pistol/Rifle app via Bluetooth, and gives you access to all the drills and courses you are already accustomed to. Additionally, new drills are unlocked and displayed automatically when connected to a BlackbeardX.
1. Analyzes On-Target Delay Score
Most shooters delay on target for longer than they need to. This metric tells you exactly how long you delay - and how much faster you could go with the same level of accuracy.
2. Assesses Over Travel Score for Multiple Targets
Multi-target transitions are often accompanied by moving the gun past or through a target before coming back to take the shot. BlackbeardX quantifies the egregiousness of the over-travel movement.
3. Helps You Find Effective Transition Paths when Shooting
The most efficient path between two targets? A straight line. Deviate from that path, and your score decreases. The more efficient the path, the more effective the shooting.
4. Compare Sessions to Find Specific Areas of Improvement
Compare your session to previous sessions or those of other shooters. Every dimension is comparatively scored, with overlaid visualizations to easier distill strengths/weaknesses and consistencies/inconsistencies.
5. Use Heat Maps to Trace How Movement Impacts Speed
A quick toggle enables you to see where your speed changes are impacting your movements, and how your movements are impacting your speed changes.
6. Adjust Drill Settings Based on Skill Level
You can set the allowable/acceptable on-target delay, the start buzzer timing constraints, and par times.
