In his 5-minute dry fire training session on Greyhive, the shooter from Mantis ran free practice, compressed surprise break work, holster draws, and strong-hand-only reps while a MantisX unit scored every single rep. The point isn't the shot count. It's that measurable practice fits inside the window most carriers already waste scrolling. Every drill in this routine produced a number — average score, average time, shot-by-shot trace analysis — which means progress is verifiable instead of imagined. Here's the exact breakdown of what five minutes bought, drill by drill, with the scores the MantisX recorded. Key Takeaways Four drills, 70 total dry fire shots, 5 minutes on a running timer — no edits, no reset breaks. Free-mode warm-up: 30 shots, 94.2 average MantisX score. Compressed surprise break: 10 shots, 94.3 average score, 0.16-second average time. Holster draw analysis: 10 shots, 1.03-second average draw-to-break time. Strong-hand-only: 20 shots, scores of 90.1 and 89.6 — the weakest numbers of the session, which is exactly why the drill belongs in the rotation. Consistency, not session length, is what drives the gains — \"5 minutes a day\" is the stated prescription. What Is a 5-Minute Dry Fire Routine? A 5-minute dry fire routine…
