The included picatinny rail makes attaching the sensor very easy. The app is super straight forward and easy to use. I enjoy the feature that has the phone announce shot scores as they happen. Makes it to where I don’t need to constantly look at my phone to see score. I can just keep shooting. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by K***C on 3 January 2023* I gave this as a gift for Christmas. My husband really likes it, it gives a lot of informational feedback on every aspect of the shot. there is a place to put notes, and notate where the arrow lands on the target. Unfortunately, it does not keep score. Highly recommend it if you are looking to improve your accuracy. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by Z***0 on 18 February 2023* First off, this was very easy to install on my bow. Within minutes I was up and running, collecting data out the whazoo. I have enjoyed being able to track my stability round to round, but the app leaves me wishing for more. For one, it's great that I can track arrow placements of each shot, but doing so is a big pain. Second, if I am tracking my placements...it sure would be nice if it would track my score...but no such luck. Beyond that, while this device provides me with tons of data, neither the app or the Mantis website provide much help in interpretting that data. That said, I have often heard that if you can measure it...you can improve upon it...so hopefully just being able to see the stability score over time will be enough to prompt improvements. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/314131803-mantis-x8-shooting-analysis-system-archery-trainer-works-with-longbow](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/314131803-mantis-x8-shooting-analysis-system-archery-trainer-works-with-longbow) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-05-06*
