In January of 2021 I committed to some New Year’s resolutions: spend 15 minutes per day learning Spanish, workout 3 times per week, shoot my bow 3 times per week, read 73 books, and stay off tobacco. This is my progress so far in the year.

As awesome as dry practice is, there are tools that can make it objectively better. Today I am going to talk about one of them: the MantisX.
