Thanks!! Great idea!!

Nice job on this video. Got all our preseason blood pumping.

I like what you’re trying to do. If you haven’t sent the 600 back in, maybe redo it with them not laying on the table. If you can attach them both to the tree hanger and replicate how you position them in a hunting situation that would’ve portrayed the differences a little better.

Just tried. It works. W vid

Agree, and thanks for checking with the db meter. Obviously, the sound levels are about the same but without the rattle of the coil, the 500's sound is more mellow. To get proper air flow, you have to move air. And to move air, you need mechanical motion. So what you get is the additive sound of mechanical motion and the sound of air whoosing through the chamber. It's hard to dampen that sound. Equipment manufacturers that make amplifiers and other air-cooled devices have grappled with blower and fan noises for decades. It's just comes with the territory when talking air movement at higher velocities. Can a deer hear it? I am certain they can since their hearing is hundreds of times better than ours. Will it spook them? I don't know. Since it is a "constant" sound, I believe deer are less prone to spook than with intermittent, on-off-on-off sounds. I think about heavy equipment running or farm tractors running. Most of the time deer pay no attention to these types "constant" sounds...mainly because they are familiar with them and have found that those noises pose no threat. Thanks for the honest review and as you pointed out, the other reviewers are just parroting Ozonics claim of a quieter model 500 without fact-checking with actual sound measurements as you have done. Good review.

Very helpful thank you

Love mine

2 questions, Is the Garmin Forerunner 945 compatible with the A1i pro sight? And if so, is the xero widget preinstalled in the watch?

Do you have links for everything you use?

Looks great! I also own a small property (7 acres) and am managing it for deer and other game. My property was an old cattle pasture so I do not have any woods for bedding but I am trying to create some and like you I've also put in some food plots.

Really appreciate your video- We live on 5.5 acres (about 2.5 acres of that are wooded) and hunt it each year with great success. You don't need a ton of land to hunt if you are wise about what you're doing.

I'd love to find 4 used novix minis for 100 bucks. I like the cam buckles that come with them. Good video.

Why can't I use magnification lenses for Garmin?

It’s public land Mr. Hunter. Go get u a lease to hunt on and this want😊 happen.

That's the dnr trying to see who's hunting. 😂

I can see the negative direction this post is going already, which was not the intention. I have absolutely zero issue with this person putting a camera next to mine. In fact, I hope they have good success hunting this area. This post was meant for entertainment, I found it interesting someone would put a camera up right next to someone else’s, especially considering this public land piece is 1,300 acres and this was rather far back into the piece. It’s not something I would personally do, but they have every right to do so. Let’s not make so many assumptions and be so negative off of such little information.

It is possible they didn’t see your camera. Still…frustrating.

It's almost as though you don't own the public land.

what about it?

I forgot this guy " hunted" with a second person who carried a rifle.

He is playing every day of his life

Big game hunting, where your opponent doesn’t know he’s playing.

Any1 notice that everyone is shooting 200 inch deer after thermal drones are available. For only 25k you can literally zoom around and look at all the bedded deer on the property. Stan Potts with 3 200 inch deer, pre drone and pre trail cameras most impressive!!

Ya Seekone killed another tame deer in ohio that deer was easy to get near thousands of pics and videos of that deer Seekone is the best at shooting big deer that arr tame but couldn't do it without being in a city there a joke just start hunting high fence

The seekone deer was shot in ohio not Georgia

It's all about "juice", my friend anything is possible when you are on it.

Cool deal man 👍

These 2023 bow kills?

Would love to see some demo and test footage of the zoom and such if you ever get a chance man!

Okay, I know this is incredibly old, but I thought I'd add a recent experience with this same test. I'm using an A1i Pro with a Fenix 6 Pro (everybody wants to be a "pro"). Anyway, I initially got the same result you did after ranging/shooting. I opened the Xero app on my fenix; it said it was ready to receive the info; I navigated to my laser locate menu on my Xero and sent the shot info to the fenix; it then asks if I want to navigate to the "new xero location" , HOWEVER now when I say yes it gives me a bunch of other of its standard navigation options, "Point of interest," "Around me," "back to start" "Use Map," etc... You have to scroll down to "Xero Locations." I found that if you choose the other techniques the results are kind of wacky. When I chose "Xero Locations," and picked my most recent shot, the blue pin is pretty accurate. BUT the red line is bonkers. I had to ignore the red line and just head for the pin and I was very much where I'd ranged/shot. Anyway, baring the red line fail, it seems like it will be helpful.

I like your setup. You've put alot thought in setting it up. I live on 4 acres near a small town in NC. I have a food plot on the very backside of the property and have a thick screen to make deer feel secure. I have a rear window on my building overlooking the plot. Over the years, we have taken several nice bucks in that plot. The kids first bucks and one of my biggest. I just purchased another 40 acres across the road from my home. Working on it now getting it huntable.

I live on 7 acres in Illinois. I planted apple trees and trust me when I say the big boys will show up in daylight 😂

Absolutely correct! There's a piece of 7 acre land we'll hunt from time to time with great success! Nice video!

Where did you get the scope rode from ? I have the Fast Eddie XL where can I find the scope rode in 0.375 ?

could also use as a NOSE BUTTON

Use brass knocks below and above your nose button if it’s sliding after you tie your constrictor knot. That’s what I did because it kept sliding. But I went back to just touching my nose on the string.

I like it. Added some skateboard tape to the thumb trigger as well. I shoot a Carter 2 Little, which is perfect for this "mod".

I’ve done this for years it works great never had one problem with it nice to see someone else doing it too

Very true- the cost aspect of buying all the fertilizer and seed and equipment on private is also overlooked

How to put strange on bow

Very smart i could ve saved 200$ by not buying the silverback !!!!

Superb! You've just halted me buying one. Your version also negates any catch of the skin/lip/beard hair which I'm a little concerned the 'off-the-shelf' products may do. Top Man! Thanks from the UK. 👍

First time using a computer I see lol Cycle the power and it works fine. Its a known issue of.. most things with software. oh, and it was in the first generation of the sight. you do know that adopting experimental technology can mean untested bugs right? The new versions dont have this issue. I called Garmen to check. Software sometimes has bugs. Your computer raingfinding sight also came with a USB cable for firmware updates. You see. Software developers understand that products with thousands and thousands of lines of complex code can sometimes, completely unexpectedly not function as expected. This is usually identified fast by the developer of the code. in this case, one of the worlds leading GPS device manufacturers. this applies more so for brand new products in there first generation. like the version of this sight you got. it was basically a prototype mate. they wanted to see if people would buy them, and how people brak them. every big compony does that with products now. as you can see in the new versions. they have fixed a number of bugs and added new features.. If you dont understand technology enough to use this sight, including dealing with BUGS a product has, your not qualified to use it. stick with a manual sight because a computer is clearly to complicated for you to understand. I just purchased the A1I PRO. Super expensive. I know it can potentially have software bugs. I knew before I got it and I still I decided to. thats my 30 years as an IT specialist vs your life in clearly a different profession. any dightal sight, because iits digital can have bugs. especially first generation devices. I shit you not. a bug exists in aples operating system with the wireless network drivers that has never been fixed. never. and that bug can stop you connectign to the internet. this bug just stops you killing something accurately for a few seconds. not much of a bug compared to that never adressed networkign bug in every single apple laptop or workstation. there is an acceptable level of buggyness for a technology product. its a thing. Its even legal thing in some places. To summarize. have you tried turnign it off then on again, and have you tried updating its driver? chances are. if you do eather of those things, you will not have an issue, or if you do have an issue, you will know how to resolve it. In this case. if your frozen on a full draw. you let down and then cycle the power of the sight. Its not a big issue mate. I bet you have to draw down for far bigger reasons then the sight glitching. LT:DR Dont shit on a product you dont understand out of ignorance. it makes you look stupid.

Hope you saw the comments saying you need to flip the scope rod. It's backwards

When you line up the red dot in the green hole and once you adjust it to make it line up, does that save you from walk back tuning your bow and French tuning?

I bought a new a1i pro. It would not give me accurate ranges. Did the reticle calibration, all screw tighten, the whole 9 yards. After being on the phone with Garmin, they want me to send it back.

Im running a stock fast eddie xl and start to get clearance issues with my feathers around 75-80 yards. any chance this scope upgrade would help with clearance on the bottom side or is it just smaller on the topside?

Scope barrel needs to be flipped and it will key in to the UV housing and you wouldn't have needed all that extra stuff, pliers included.

little late here, but do you happen to know if the double pin uv3 would line up with the two indicators for you sight tape?

I just ordered one of these bow sight. Something I can't find, can you set the first pin closer than 20 yards? Like 10 yards?
