I've looked at some of the other targets and compared the MantisX scores with the target results. Every time I jerked a shot right or left, the MantisX score was low, indicating a lot of movement just before the gun went off. What is interesting to me is that scores in the high 80s were good enough to get 10 ring hits. There weren't any "bad" shots with high MantisX scores but there were some 10 ring hits without mid-90s MantisX scores.
I'm thinking that single hand shooting has so much more gun movement normally that, even with a perfect trigger pull, the score won't necessarily be a 10 due to slow wobble in single hand at 25 yards. You can see the gun moving in the video from the shooter position camera. There is much more movement evident from the side than there is from the rear. I guess the gun can wobble and still be aimed at about the same point.
However, when I knew I jerked the gun anyway, the shot was wide and the MantisX score was low, as in 50-70.
So, I think dry fire training using the MantisX will be very helpful to new shooters that have poor trigger control and can use the feedback to refine their trigger pulls. The device may be more useful to advanced shooters if they are shooting two handed and can hold the gun steadier than a bullseye shooter can. But, a bullseye shooter who can dry fire enough to learn to score mid-90s every trigger pull on the MantisX can probably eliminate all their flyers. But a person that can average 95 may not shoot higher bullseye scores than one that averages 90, if the 90 score shooter has a steadier hold.
