AR DRY FIRE TRAINING SYSTEM
"Get the most realistic training with your AR, using your trigger, your grip, and your sights, with the Blackbeard Auto-resetting Trigger System. No alteration to your trigger pull and no alteration to the reset equals meaningful dry fire reps that translate directly to your live fire performance. Also important: no more having to run the recharge handle between every shot, so no training scars or development of improper muscle memory. Blackbeard’s optional laser indicator further enhances your training with visual representation of where your “shots” land, as it fires down the barrel with every press of the trigger. Quick and easy to install, Blackbeard replaces your bolt carrier and magazine, making for simple transition from work to play and back again. The magazine battery pack is good for 100,000 shots per charge; we’ll let you do the math on the obvious cost savings versus your favorite ammo. Finally, the Blackbeard is rated to reset as quick as 10 shots per second, so once you’re ready to rock so too will be your gear." MANTIS

The 2 day Marksman Rifle Essentials covers the crucial fundamentals of marksmanship that allow the shooter to use the accuracy of the rifle to its fullest capability. The rifle is an iconic tool for Americans. Unfortunately, modern life does not lend itself to hunting and plinking like the decades before we became city dwellers. The essential skills of shooting a rifle well should be the goal of every owner. The idea of being a marksmen, is someone who is excellent at shooting a gun, be it a pistol or rifle. This class is for the armed citizen that sees a need for the ability to shoot their chosen rifle with skill. Just the essential skills that an citizen would need in the time of gravest extreme.
This 2 day class will cover zeroing the rifle and the effects of distance on the chosen zero. Shooting from different positions, cover, and in addition the effects of offset from different sighting systems. The crucial fundamentals of marksmanship that allow the shooter to use the accuracy of the rifle to its fullest capability. This class will will use paper and steel targets to cover zeroing the rifle and the effects of distance place on the chosen zero. Shooting from different positions, cover, and in addition the effects of offset from different sighting systems. There will be a scored TOP SHOT and other challenges. Your Certificate of Participation will be handed out or emailed. ​
Please zero your rifle before class. A 50 yard or 100 yard will serve you well. If 25 yards is all you have available, then please zero at 25 yards and we will adjust at class. YOUR GOAL at 25, 50 or 100: just make sure you are on "paper" and we can refine your zero on the range. Remember zeros will change with ammo types and weights. Either shoot the same type ammo or know the difference between the two.
Please understand that our "Ant Rank Challenges" do not apply in our Rifle Marksman class. There will be a scored TOP SHOT and other challenges. Your Certificate of Participation will be handed out or emailed.

I've been wanting one for a while so I finally "pulled the trigger". I received it today and tried it out for a couple hundred reps. It's exactly what I was hoping for. It reinforces bore offset every trigger pull. I already feel myself adjusting my poa without thinking about it. Obviously I can't speak to durability but so far it's 10/10.

Thanks for covering this and all of the awesome advice on your channel and with ASP dry fire Monday’s! Can’t take to be able to come take a class with you again (coming for my purple patch!… I hope). I’ve been looking for something similar to this system for pistols. The closest I can find is the Coolfire Trainer. Focus is not on “recoil simulation” since the impulse is understandably simply different, but more on being able to reset the trigger, target transitions use my own system (trigger, grips, AND with a red dot) which is something airsoft doesn’t do as well. The laser is an added bonus that I hope could be paired with mantis laser academy… perhaps? Just wondering if you’d have a take on this? I’d love to see a video from you (with or without collaboration from ASP if it’s easier to get a kit from them). Until I can come to the mountains and train with yourself, Shelley and other fine folks again! Thanks.

It will not allow me to hit the like button. I hit the like and it wouldn't show me liking it. So I'm leaving you with this comment. I like your video man, keep up the good work it's not allowing me to like your video for some reason could be on my side I don't know.

Great video. When I got mine I could outrun the trigger. Not saying I'm as fast as you, but they recommended I put a glob of grease on the resetting mechanism on the bolt and it works flawlessly now.

I’ll also give this a shot. I just got mine and it’s failing to reset the trigger very frequently and even without rapid-firing. Im using a Geissele SSA-E trigger. System fits fine into the AR but I’ll try some grease. Already sent an email to customer support to see if they have any other suggestions in case the grease doesn’t work. Im assuming that you’re talking about putting grease on the little part that moves down when cycling.

In the beginning when you talk about it being a bore sighting instrument and the offset. Arent you suppose to adjust the laser to match your red dot? All the other reviews ive seen everyone says the adjustments on the blackbeard system are indeed for adjusting the laser to match your red dot. Like you said you dont want to adjust your dot to laser but you should adjust the laser to your dot thats why it has that switch to turn the laser on constant so you can adjust it to your dot then once thats done you switch the laser back to the mode for using the trigger. it all depends on your sight height over bore. Have you tried adjusting the laser to your dot at further distances to see if you can reduce the offset? Also isnt there a ballistic offset adjustment in the mantis app?

It is zeroed to duplicate the same offset you have live-fire.

It would be good to know if the Laser Academy software can connect multiple phones viewing different targets (different locations/rooms) in one active session.

You could still run separate phones/pads and it would still score then but they’d all record separately so you’d have to manual combine the scores. As long as you end and start on the same phone you at least know the time automatically

In theory could you use a dedicated optic that would be zeroed with the laser?
@brianhill9639
@brianhill9639 2 жыл бұрын
The zero would need to be 10-15 yards for the laser to be visible. The offset is where I see the most need for clients to improve. Thanks for commenting and watching!

You can't outrun the trigger. They tested it with our lord and savior Jerry Miculek and he couldnt.
