## Description

Mantis Laser Academy is a dry-fire laser training system that uses smart targets for automatic hit detection, scoring, and shot timing, all tracked in the Laser Academy app.

## Review summary

Mantis Laser Academy offers strong drills and at-home dry-fire benefits, with engaging feedback that can improve shooting and save ammo. However, multiple reviews cite reliability problems: calibration/detection issues, frequent glitches, and unstable performance after updates; plus pricing pressure and occasional scoring inaccuracies. Addressing reliability and balancing pricing could restore its strong value.

### Pros

- Excellent drills and real-time feedback when the system functions, helping improve shooting skills.
- Enables effective dry-fire practice at home and saves ammunition.
- Engaging, game-like training that motivates continued practice and improves trigger control.
- Positive value for training and results when the app works as described.

### Cons

- Calibration and target-detection reliability issues, especially after updates (v2.0), causing false 'moving' warnings and unusable sessions.
- Frequent app glitches and instability (black screens, calibration lockouts, recognition drops) that disrupt training.
- Pricing friction and aggressive upsell to memberships, leading to perceived low value when issues persist.
- Occasional scoring inaccuracies, such as registering extra shots or misreadouts.
