Mantis X shooter training system

Hey guys! I saw this training system at Shot Show and have been wanting to bring you a review on it since then. Mantis sent me one to review and here it is! I believe this system was originally designed with powder burners in mind but, they have a setting (CO2) for airguns as well. Since it seemed to be designed for PB's, you'll see them in my video. Towards the later half, I put it on my Royal and show it working.
10m Pistol shooters, I think you might be interested in this little gadget to help your scores. While I do own 2 airgun pistols, they don't have rails on them and they're packed pretty deep in a box somewhere. They're also older, low end models. I so rarely shoot pistol....
I originally zip tied this to the huggett moderator on my Royale in order to give it the most rifle movement to sense. But, it didn't pick up a few shots during the string. In the video, I put it on the bipod rail. It didn't miss a shot and still picked up all the movement.
Toss me a + if you like it! 
I hope you guys enjoy it!

OH, NOW I get it! I've seen this before in YT videos where the Mantis was not the subject of the video, but it was about Olympic Matches. I saw them practicing and these "squiggly lines" and wanted to know more about what they were using. Now I know. This is the first video I've ever seen about this device and how it works. What a great training aid. No wonder I first saw this in an Olympic Match video.

Thanks Tom +1
 
Thanks BeemanR7 I'm growing my collection of those little green dots! lol

The Olympics use a different model called "SCATT." I saw it at shot show as well. It's more sensitive but, needs a paper target to focus on and is much more expensive. $1800.00? IIRC. I'm not positive but I might be getting one of those to review as well. 1800 is a lot of money for one person to spend on something like this. I can see it for an olympic team, competition team, or a shooting club
