i'm guessing that having something to allow for a short focal distance is better than being seen using the flagpole ball over the neighbor's biden flag.
It allows you to practice building positions/ work on reducing your wobble zone while being able to use the magnification levels you would in a match with only needing 10-12 feet. I personally "design" a stage based on the targets im using and practice building my positions and transitions on the clock. For instance I'll probably grabscreenshots off the ag cup cof and use those to run practice with. My wobble reduced greatly once i started doing this at the low low cost of no ammo. That way when i then go to the range to practice live it's far more productiveSerious question. What is the goal with these systems? Stabilization and trigger control? Just use snap caps and move from spot to spot like a match?
The mantis x is a cool tool to to use on live fire as well. We've mounted it to the night vision bridge of my MPAI've always wondered using these short range dry fire kits with something like the MantisX system with inertial sensors. Seems like it would at least have the potential to allow you to very precisely measure "wobble". That way you could play with weights, positions, etc. and very precisely see what is working better. Top archers have been doing this for a couple (or more) decades using laser pointers on stabilizers and video recording their "wobble" on target adjusting bow poundage, grip position, balance, and various other things to minimise their total system movement. You can see it in the sight as well, but it's much less subjective when you are recording it for review on a grid.
The other big advantage I could see is it also tracks movement during/after the shot, which again seems like it would let you adjust your position, equipment etc. to get real time measurable feedback on how well your total system recoil management is. I've always wanted to use it to test muzzle brakes because you get a very detailed precisely measured recoil mattern of barrel movement.
