- Reviews
- Special Orders
Whether you shoot recurve, compound, or barebow, the Mantis X8 intelligent shooting analysis system can take your training to the next level.
At its core, the X8 is a precision IMU (accelerometer + gyroscope + magnetometer) that analyzes movement patterns. The X8 analyzes thousands of data points per second, providing real-time feedback on your shooting performance to the smartphone/tablet app (available on Google Play and Apple App Store).
Through analyzing movement patterns, including micro movements that the eye cannot see, the X8 system evaluates performance and consistency, identifies areas of improvement, and tracks progress over time. Each shot generates a detailed analysis, and the user is able to compare phases of each shot to others. The X8 is a definitive game changer for high performance competitive archers, and allows them to have a more comprehensive understanding of their shooting.

Not reliable
This plus a tripod for your camera to film your form will give you a lot of great info on any extra movements during your shot process. Comes with a better mounting rail than the old single **** one to make it easier to mount to your sight bracket (unfortunately they only included a single ****). App is a bit buggy though when inputting your bow's data. Seems to change a bunch of fields overwriting the stuff I had entered. I took a star off for the software as well as the unit is made of plastic. I would've preferred the rail and sensor be made of aluminum as I have no idea how well the plastic will hold up over time with the high vibration of bows. If the picatinny mount on the unit somehow fails, I don't really have a lot of confidence that this unit would survive a fall off the bow
This is a really good training tool to map out your shot process. It is very sensitive and measures things like shot cycle timing and cant, etc.
Mantis X8 Archery provides a pretty darn good picture of your shot and process. The graphics and charts are helpful. I have recommended Mantis to others and bought a second unit for my son! I wish they had a few more tutorials for a more clear understanding of all the analysis features!!
All special orders are treated with priority. Outside of larger items such as bows, many special order items are on a consistent stocking basis. General turn around due to pandemic backorders is at least 8 weeks depending on manufacturer lead times.
Some bows such as custom target bows and top shelf traditional recurve bows are on a made to order basis directly from the manufacturer.
Some left handed products such as high end target equipment can also experience unforseen delays due to manufacturer batch production.
We make every effort to meet the deadlines set above. Sometimes due to issues out of our control we are unable to accomplish this. We will make every effort to remedy the situation if that is the case.
