The holster draw analysis has made a world a difference for me. It has allowed me to track my progress and do what John told me to do.

Same here. The Mantis is more accurate that any other method I can think of. In a few days, I went from 1.7ish to sub 1 second draw. The best combo of draw speed to accuracy for me is 1.1-1.2 seconds. If anyone is on the fence about buying the MantisX, DO IT!

So very cool to see friends growing and learning. Adam is a super knowledgeable and skillful guy, so this shows me that if he is continually finding new ways to improve, we ALL can! Pairing work like this with Brian Hill's excellent insights into practice (like the different types of ways to get to the gun and get it out of the holster) and it feels like I have my own 1-on-1 session with some of the best teachers & coaches in the nation! Thanks John & Adam!

My Dry Fire setup consists of the Mantis X10 with the app in Holster Draw Analysis mode running on an iPad, and the Mantis Laser Academy app on an iPhone with the 1/3-sized IDPA target. The Mantis app provides me with timing and draw analysis, and the Laser Academy app records the hits. I usually keep 98 to 99% of the hits in the - 0 zone. My most obvious area where I can improve is also getting the shot off after getting the dot on target -- I'm not consistent in prepping the trigger properly. I believe that Dry Fire has become far more common with COVID keeping people at home more, and the outrageous ammo prices. I'd love to see some statistics from the Mantis guys on how many Live Fire vs. Dry Fire shots their customers have done over the last 24 months. John, you have connections -- could you check? I think that would make for an interesting ASPE video.

John Im not sure if anyone else caught it but when he goes to shoot, watch the back of his legs....he rising up on the balls of his feet. Something that he may want to watch for in future training. Not saying anything negative at all about the shooter, just that its the fine details that make big results especially at distance.

I prefer the “universal” Mantis adapter plate that just sticky tapes on and I add superglue in place on any brand magazine. You don’t have to take base plate off and keep track of it. Have it on several different models and never comes loose unless I want it to.

So, @Jaronius, Adam Winch here. That shift forward is a product of several things. 1. I'm naturally aggressive; almost every fight I got into, whether hands on or with a gun, I would naturally aggressively drive my body forward either towards my opponent(s), or forward into a real fighting stance or to explode forward in order to overwhelm them through sheer aggression. 2. It's also a product of prior training habits, which really isn't as efficient as it should be or that I'd like. During the taping of this video, I felt that drive forward and slightly up on my toes the last several times and was trying to remind myself not to do so but then we ended the videoing before I could get a solid draw stroke without doing so. Last year at the ASP Bullets & Bibles National Conference in KS, John and another trainer coached me not to so. When my stanch was stayed solid, I found my draw stroke improved by several tenths of a second just right there, as I wasn't also fighting another moving axis of my body. Apparently, I haven't fully killed off that engrained habit yet - as seen here - so one more area to work on for me as I keep working towards improvement. Good catch. Chris Griese also noted the same thing you did so he and I talked about it by phone this morning.

@@defenders-usa that's some good info. I'm always amazed how all the body mechanics add up to a shot. I've been working so hard on moving as little as possible during the draw especially my shoulder. I have long arms and a high waist which makes for a draw that is all bicep and forearm. I've never thought about my feet beyond how far apart they are.
