Garmin Xero Bow Sights, Chronographs, L60i and Blaze

Garmin Sportsman and Tactical: Xero Bow Sights, Chronographs, the L60i Rangefinder and Blaze

Garmin's Xero line brings laser ranging and GPS to archery and shooting. The Xero A1, A1i and A1i PRO bow sights mount a digital rangefinder on the riser and project an LED aiming pin at the exact angle-compensated distance. The Xero C1 Pro and C2 are pocket-size radar chronographs that read muzzle velocity from 100 to 5,000 feet per second with nothing attached to the firearm. The Xero L60i is, in Garmin's words, the first and only laser rangefinder with onboard map-based GPS navigation and a full-color display overlaid on the optics. And the Blaze Equine Wellness System moves Garmin's heart rate and temperature sensing onto a horse's tail. Specifications below come from Garmin's official product pages, newsroom and owner's manuals.

At DiveCatalog.com we carry the Xero and Blaze lineup, plus the dovetail connector, rifle mount and tripod that go with them, as an authorized Garmin dealer. Note from Garmin: some jurisdictions regulate or prohibit electronic bow sights and rangefinders for hunting, so check local rules.

Xero Bow Sights Compared

Sight	Ranging	Pins	Laser Locate	Mount	Weight
Xero A1	100 yd to game, 300 yd reflective, angle compensated, at rest or full draw	Single-color red LED, single or multi-pin	No	Standard riser mount, RH or LH	14.7 oz
Xero A1i	Same as A1	Dual-color red and green LED, movable pin stack	Yes, marks the target on a compatible Garmin GPS	Standard riser mount, RH or LH	14.7 oz
Xero A1i PRO	Same, with 0.35 MOA micro-adjustable rails	Dual-color, automatic pin stack to your bow's max distance, Flight Apex, XD mode	Yes	Quick-detach dovetail, RH or LH, Hoyt edition with picatinny	18 oz with mount

All three run up to a year (about 25,000 ranges) on two lithium AAA batteries, are rated IPX7, use a Class 1 laser, and never project visible light toward the target.

The Lineup in Detail

Xero A1 and A1i: Leave the Guesswork Behind (2018)

Press the silent trigger at rest or at full draw and the sight ranges the target, compensates for angle and lights a single LED pin at the right spot. The A1 uses red pins and supports single-pin or multi-pin setups with manual pin selection. The A1i adds green pins for low light, a pin stack you can move up or down without recalibrating, multiple arrow profiles, shot dynamics and Laser Locate, which marks where the target stood when you ranged or shot and sends that point to a compatible Garmin GPS for recovery. Both include a shot counter, electronic level and a 160 x 68 MIP display.

Xero A1i PRO: The Most Advanced Auto-Ranging Sight (August 2021)

Garmin's flagship sight adds micro-adjustable rails at 0.35 MOA precision, an automatic pin stack that builds itself from a 20-yard calibration plus your arrow speed, draw length and arrow diameter out to your bow's estimated maximum distance, an Xtra Distance mode for pins beyond that, a Flight Apex flashing pin that shows where the arrow peaks, Dynamic Level and second-axis roll correction, and a quick-detach dovetail that comes off with one screw and the trigger cable. The Universal Dovetail Connector replaces the standard dovetail so the sight fits any bracket or bow that accepts standard sight dovetails. Batteries are included.

Xero C1 Pro and C2 Chronographs

Both read velocity from 100 to 5,000 fps for rifles, pistols, air rifles, airsoft, bows and crossbows (up to 600 fps) and other projectiles, sit 5 to 15 inches beside and behind the muzzle on the included tripod with no sensor on the gun, work with suppressors and brakes, run up to 6 hours or 2,000 shots on an internal USB-C rechargeable battery, and sync to Garmin's free ShotView app for extreme spread, standard deviation, kinetic energy and power factor. The C1 Pro stores 50 sessions. The C2 (January 2026) adds a faster processor with rapid-fire tracking up to 10 shots per second, 200 sessions of memory, resume-session that keeps data separate per firearm, live data and controls on a compatible Garmin watch such as the tactix 8, muzzle velocity sent straight into Applied Ballistics through the AB Quantum app, and a reinforced housing designed to ride on the rifle with the Xero C2 rifle mount.

Xero L60i Laser Rangefinder with Applied Ballistics (January 2026)

Seven-power optics with low-dispersion glass and a 960 x 540 full-color overlay that puts range, ballistics and a map in the eyepiece. It ranges animals to 1,500 yards in full sun and 3,000 in ideal conditions, trees to 2,000 and 4,000, and reflective targets to 5,500 and 7,500, accurate to a quarter meter inside 1,000 meters. The onboard Applied Ballistics Elite solver, managed through the AB Quantum app, delivers a firing solution, and archery mode adds angle-compensated range, arrow apex and entry angle. Then it navigates: TopoActive maps on 32 GB, GPS, compass, barometer, Laser Locate and Sensor Locate drop waypoints on what you ranged, with elevation profiles, overhead view and Garmin Explore app sync. Two lithium AAA batteries deliver about 1,400 ranges. Garmin calls it "a groundbreaking rangefinder that pushes the boundaries of what's possible."

Blaze Equine Wellness System (August 2025)

A washable neoprene tail wrap holds a 15.6 gram sensor with an optical heart rate monitor built for horses, skin temperature sensing and motion detection, with no skin preparation. The Blaze app on your phone or Connect IQ on a compatible Garmin watch shows heart rate and zones, skin temperature change, a heat score that combines air temperature and humidity into riding guidance, strides, gait, speed, distance and location, recovery rate and time in zones afterward, across training, recovery and transport activities. Threshold alerts cover elevated or missing heart rate, temperature change, severe heat and cold. Battery is up to 25 hours, the sensor is IPX7, and one primary user can broadcast to spectators. Garmin: "Whether you're eventing, racing, jumping or anything in between, this new system will help you monitor your horse's health to keep them performing at their best."

Accessories

The Large Tripod for the Xero S1 trapshooting trainer is an anodized aluminum tripod that keeps the S1 at knee height for touchscreen use between shots, with twist-lock legs and a carabiner to hang weight in wind. The Rifle Mount attaches the Xero C2 to your rifle, and the Universal Dovetail Connector adapts the A1i PRO to standard sight dovetails, in right- or left-handed versions.

Features Explained

Applied Ballistics: the Garmin-integrated ballistic solver, in Ultralight and Elite tiers managed through the AB Quantum app or a compatible Garmin watch, that computes long-range shooting solutions from muzzle velocity, environment and position.

Laser Locate: projects a GPS waypoint onto the object you just ranged so a compatible Garmin GPS, or the L60i's own map, can navigate you back to it.

ShotView: Garmin's free app that pairs with Xero chronographs over Bluetooth to record, sort, annotate and review shot velocity data.

Frequently Asked Questions: Garmin Xero and Blaze

What is the difference between the Xero C1 Pro and C2?

Same velocity range, detection setup and battery. The C2 adds rapid-fire tracking, four times the session memory, resume-session per firearm, Garmin watch integration, direct Applied Ballistics connectivity and a reinforced rifle-mountable housing.

Does the Xero bow sight project light at the animal?

No. The LED pins are visible only to the archer; Garmin states no visible light is ever projected toward the target.

How far does the Xero L60i range?

Up to 3,000 yards on animals and 7,500 yards on reflective targets in optimal conditions, 1,500 and 5,500 yards in full sun, accurate to plus or minus 0.25 meters inside 1,000 meters.

Does the Blaze track my horse's location?

Location comes from the paired Garmin watch or phone rather than the tail sensor, so with either paired you get speed, distance and position alongside heart rate and temperature.

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.

New to this hanger...Now I'm a believer

Used tons of dive hangers, but never an upside down hanger. Game-changer for me. Will now add more of these in the near-future.

With it's swivel head design, it can cram itself into my tight dive locker, while still donning a ton of gear.

DiveCatalog's "Upside Down Drysuit Hanger w/ Regulator and Accessory Hooks" is a great product with solid construction at an affordable price. All of that with Dive Catalog's customer support/satisfaction guarantee.
