Garmin Xero™ A1i Bow Sight
Interesting Development.
Has me wondering if one of these could be successfully mounted & used on a crossbow. Emailed them to find out... https://static.garmin.com/en/product...997d206339.jpg https://buy.garmin.com/en-CA/CA/p/613654 A little pricey, but that will likely change with their next generation. Thoughts? Wondering... Nog |
Looks like a great unit, a little to pricey for me but should work well.

My thoughts are, and especially for a coastal hunter, how will it perform in the rain and fog? I know my lieca range finder is junk in the fog and rain. |
My concern would be the weight.
I carry arrows on my hip to help reduce holding weight out at arms length. I not sure what the weight difference is between the Garmin and my current sight, but I'm sure the Garmin would be heavier. As far as the ranging abilities in weather, it would be the same as all other lasers and affected as such. J. |
This is the direction most bow sight will be head towards. IQ and Burris both came out with range finder sights this year as well.
There are tons of reviews and discussions on Archery Talk if you want to check out reviews |

You should email Garmin and suggest that as a firmware update.... All the Garmin products I have, have firmware that can be updated. J. |

The IQ is a 5 pin sight with an attached range finder The burris is a vertical bar in a sight housing with 20+ lights that once you range the correct light illuminates for the ranged distance. Out of all 3 I think I like the burris the most. Also burris has been in the range finding/sight business for awhile now. Iron Noggin, have you consider the Burris Eliminator on your X-bow? Not sure if it range at short range such as 20 yards, but it might. |

The 380 Matrix shoots flat enough that close ranging isn't really much of a requirement (there is very little drop between 20 & 30 yards). But I did like the idea of a light sight that had the capabilities. Guess I'll stick with the Hawke Compact for now... Thanks fellas... Cheers, Nog |
Heard the Garmin Sight has a tough go in sub zero temps, if you are a late season hunter it’s a question you will need answered.

If one has any aspirations of entering their trophy in P&Y. using this type of electronic aiming device would disqualify you......jest sayn.

Most target sight are 10 to 11 ounces without the scope housing or lenses. The Garmin sits at 17 ounces, so I can't see it being that much heavier.
