Never knew about the Bowdometer, until i brought the Mantis. I like my Mantis, very helpful!!

Great break down. I have both, and I like the amount of information the Mantis X8 gives.

Have You by any chance the A1 Steady Aim? I got Mantis and wanted to know what are the differences.

Have a X8 on my recurve and hopefully soon on compound too. Basically like it a lot as it has a good color matching my bow and is very discrete. And small. I wish though it would record more than 30shots in a row and that the app would support landscape orientation of a device (e.g. iPad). And finally I wish the world would dump the micro USB and use only USB-C

Got a Mantis, I was gutted when I found out Artemis (the plotting app I used to use) doesn't connect with it, but does use the bowdometer.

Yes, I saw that

I've been thinking of getting a Mantis, do you think it's sensitive enough to pick up a difference in string materials? I've been having an interesting discussion with Sid at Border and it has made me want to do some experimenting.

@ArcheryblogUk 3 жыл бұрын

Do you know I'm not sure. That is a very slight change, changing string material. Unless it was a big change from like Dacron to 8125. But I'm sure the archer would have to be very consistent for something like that to show up. I'm certainly not that person.

@@ArcheryblogUk Haha thanks for getting back to me. Really I want to test the difference between SK65 (Spetra 652) SK75 (D97/8125) and SK90 (Fury/Mercury) and different strand counts 12-20 strands. I'm thinking you're right and I'll probably need a more specific measuring device.

I am curious to know how the 2 correlate. If you shoot with both on the bow, and have a rough shot, to they both agree it was aberrant? And has anyone compared these to the Steady Aim A1?

@-fazik-3713 Жыл бұрын

My question also. Got the X8 and wanted to know the difference to the A1.

@colingregory7464 2 жыл бұрын

I have both and quite like both, but my major issue is with the mantis, it lost signal fairly easily and without signal it stops, where the bowdometer tends re find signal on its own more often, the sensors record quite different data and of the 2 I found the mantis data marginally more useful, but the signal issues and the requirement to be connected made the deal breaker

@@-fazik-3713 for me at least the Steady Aim is the best of both, finds signal fairly well but doesn't require it all the time, has most of the best of both the others including a decent shock load monitor

The bowdometer score is the same as the other except it gives a number based on how bad your data was for your shot, but dosen't tell you why... pointless. That's its only damn job.
