I've been meaning to try the new Better than the simple draw and shoot, back up 5 yards, repeat that I do now.
Looking at a training aid like a Mantix too, I hate dry fire but cannot consume ammo they way I did in years past. I have Dry Fire and Dry Fire Fit training cards that I bought and never opened.
I've got the Mantix and it's not bad. I find myself using it less and less though. Usually I point toward a dot on a white wall and you know if you sights/dot is moving on trigger press.
You ever watch Bob Vogel do the qualification course? He's great. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=py1WSRpcl6E&t=22s
Damn I'm not passing that qualification haha.
So the Mantix is just ok? I keep seeing reviewers talk about it like it's a miracle worker.
I don't want to trash it because I've used it 200x it says and the data is cool. I just think the bottom line is the gun is still when you pull the trigger and you can do that with just a white wall. Biggest thing for me is doing marksmanship work every single time I practice dry fire even if it's only 3 minutes. It's it's really noticeable drop when I stop doing that for a month.
For $100 it's worth a try though. They completely changed their models since I've gotten mine.
