MANTIS X8 SHOOTING ANALYSIS SYSTEM

The Mantis Shooting System is an small device that mounts on your bow, records your movements while taking a shot, and plots them on a graph.

That simple, huh? It's a little more complex than that. As we all know, archery is a game of consistent repetition. The Mantis is a tool designed to improve shooting consistency, by showing you what you are doing, when you are doing it right, and when you start to fade from your best form.

The biggest plus from an archer's point of view is that; with the only data analysis coming from the target at the other end of the field (it's one of the things that keeps it fascinating). The Mantis is designed to give real data from the bow side of things, covering the complete execution of the shot, including setup, release and follow through. We often read in the newspapers about the power of AI and data to improve things. Finally, we are starting to see it in the archery world. (You may be thinking: that's not for me. As they like to put it: "When performance is measured, performance improves.")
