Product Information

The Garmin Xero A1, A1i and A1i PRO Auto-Ranging Digital Bow Sight is a laser rangefinding bow sight that measures the angle-compensated distance to your target when you press a silent trigger, then lights a single virtual LED pin that only the archer can see. All three models range up to 100 yards on game and up to 300 yards on reflective targets, run on two AAA lithium batteries and carry an IPX7 water rating.

Who it is for

This is the sight for the bowhunter or target archer who does not want to gap-guess between fixed pins. Because the Class 1 laser projects no visible light toward the animal and the trigger is silent, it suits treestand and spot-and-stalk hunting as well as 3D and backyard practice. A1i and A1i PRO owners who also carry a compatible Garmin GPS device can use Laser Locate to mark where a shot was taken and start the recovery from a waypoint.

Key details

A1: core auto-ranging with a red pin, ambient-light or manual brightness, and a built-in shot counter.
A1i: adds user-selectable red and green pins, an electronic level, multiple arrow profiles, shot dynamics (arrow speed, bow roll, impulse duration) and Laser Locate.
A1i PRO: developed with input from Hoyt, adds micro-adjustable rails in .35 MOA increments for elevation, windage, pitch and yaw plus 2nd-axis correction, a quick-detach dovetail mount, Auto Calibration, Dynamic Level, Flight Apex and Xtra Distance (XD) mode. 18 oz with mount.
Battery life up to 25,000 laser ranges or up to 1 year in standby; operating range -20 to 60 C (-4 to 140 F).

Compatibility and sizing

Every model is offered in right-hand and left-hand versions, so choose the handedness that matches your bow. Lithium AAA batteries are required: alkaline or NiMH cells reduce the sight to fixed-pin aiming only. A Hoyt In-line Sight Mount picatinny adapter for the A1i PRO is sold separately.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the Garmin Xero A1, A1i and A1i PRO?

All three auto-range and light one angle-compensated LED pin out to 100 yards on game. The A1 has a red pin only. The A1i adds selectable red and green pins, an electronic level, multiple arrow profiles, shot dynamics and Laser Locate. The A1i PRO builds on the A1i with micro-adjustable rails, a quick-detach dovetail mount, Auto Calibration, Dynamic Level, Flight Apex and Xtra Distance mode.

Is the A1i PRO worth stepping up to from the A1i?

The A1i PRO adds tuning and setup tools over the A1i: mounting rails that micro-adjust elevation, windage, pitch and yaw in .35 MOA increments plus 2nd-axis correction, a removable dovetail mount with two positions and quick-detach, Auto Calibration using chronograph speed, real-time Dynamic Level, a Flight Apex indicator for judging obstructions, and Xtra Distance mode. It weighs 18 oz with the mount.

What batteries does the Garmin Xero bow sight use and how long do they last?

Each Xero sight uses two replaceable 1.5 V AAA lithium batteries. Garmin rates them for up to 25,000 laser ranges, or up to one year in standby mode. Lithium cells are required: alkaline or NiMH batteries reduce the sight to fixed-pin aiming only. Batteries are included with the A1i PRO and sold separately for the A1 and A1i.

Which handedness should I order, and can the A1i PRO mount to a Hoyt bow?

Order the version that matches your bow, since every model comes in right-hand and left-hand builds. The A1i PRO uses a removable dovetail mount with two position options, and a Hoyt In-line Sight Mount picatinny adapter is available separately for Hoyt risers. Riser mount screws torque to 6.7 N-m (60 lbf-in) maximum and the dovetail set screw to 3.9 N-m (35 lbf-in).

Review summary

5.0 155 ratings across the web

Reviewers agree the auto-ranging works as advertised: range a target and the dot moves itself, with hits reported from ten out to eighty yards and no pins crowding the view. Good to know, sighting in realistically takes two to three hours, and the on-screen steps are easier to follow yourself than at a shop. The overall score is mixed, and one hunter reported drift and a freeze-up. It suits bowhunters who want yardage handled at the trigger finger and will invest the setup time.

What reviewers like

Rangefinder sets the dot, no pin holdover needed

Holds point of impact from 10 to 80 yards

Ranging button at trigger finger, less movement drawn

On-screen instructions walk you through sighting in

Survived a 30-foot drop and still shot true

Good to know

Plan 2 to 3 hours to sight in; follow the on-screen steps yourself

Excellent wetsuit but will it crush quickly like other wetsuits?

I purchased a BARE 5mm Reactive wetsuit (open box), which was like new, to replace my 1.5 yr old BARE 5mm Velocity wetsuit which had collapsed to only 2.5mm after 3 diving trips (~100 dives). The Reactive wetsuit is well constructed and very flexible. I had to increase the size of the Reactive suit, as it was smaller than the BARE Velocity suit of the same size. Tremendous customer service by Dive Catalog to exchange the wetsuit for proper size. I hope the Reactive suit does not crush so quickly like my other wetsuits (BARE, Henderson, Pinnacle). Hoping that the new technology in this suit will keep me warm below the thermocline.

Perfectly Built

Best of the many many diver hangers in my life. Easily supports my steel-plated BCD, while still donned with all of my accessories. No cracks, bends, or dents. Has even supported my BCD w/ a steel 100 tank attached (not recommended, for safety purposes, though).

Will continue to use this hanger for the long-term. No brainer.

Go-to Dive Hanger

This is a must-have for every diver. It's the quintessential hanger for all dive gear in one small package.

DiveCatalog's "Quick Dry Multi Accessory Dive Gear Hanger for Boots, Gloves, Hood" is set at a great price for a great product. Versatile enough that I've purchased extra hangers to organize my BMX racing gear.

Must-have for divers and anyone looking to organize their adventurous outdoor activities equipment.

Solid Hanger w/ Tons of Options

Does it's job and then some. The added accessory arms gives you options for a multitude of storage solutions. Solid build, solid pricing, must have for owns of dive gear.
