Garmin Xero X1i First Look: Features and Technology

[@andrewwhite4001]

Seeing garmin going this direction has me excited for a possible rifle application in the future. I prefer something a bit more traditional on my archery equipment, but I'd love to have that digital sight picture and functionality on my rifle.

Great video! Looking forward to the in depth follow up review.

I’ve checked out a few places and have not found this scope cheaper than $ 1,695.00. Also I have watched the Garmin training video which states that you can turn on what you want to see, and turn off what you don’t want to see in the scope! Just a little info only here. Thanks for the video though, helpful…. I did order this scope this evening from Amazon .

After you get your 20 yard aim point set he said that you can then move back to 80 yards and shoot, that's partially true it should allow you to hit that 80 yard target with the algorithm, using bows speed, this is where you have to fine tune it by telling the Garmin if your high, low, left or right and how many inches to the center. But guy is spot on with basic setup instructions.

thank U

[@BigBuckBootCamp]

I was considering changing from vertical to horizontal due to shoulder pain, looks to be an easier decision now. Thanks

Safe to say you’re a fan of the A1i? Planning to pick one up next time it’s on sale for my new RX-5 Ultra. Thanks for all the great content!

Garmin needs to increase the optical zoom and speed up the lock-on. A bonus would be thermal version.

Will this work on a Black Powder

[@ryanmickley3226]

I'm guessing it can't handle the recoil of a gun

Your dedication to your reporting on this platform is well received. To show the public this device is educational only . I know that I am nit picking but you are island hopping around some but not all the functions.It’s placing you in a selling perspective and giving zero direction to your viewers.. You should know this instrument like the palm of your hand then present it to the public.Let’s see I would open the box 📦 show the manual , wrench 🔧, and emphatically show the side plate being removed so that you can install the 2 “AAA” lithium batteries 🔋,,otherwise you cannot continue. It’s coming up on this video and a more realistic price presently is $1800.

Why nobody advertising and promoting the Xero X1i mention anything regarding the warranty of this crossbow scope. I bet it does not come with a life time warranty.

[@AKJJSIM]

One year warranty, same as any other high-tech device. If you find a smart phone with a lifetime warranty let me know.

[@tomgodzik4721]

Great scope but way out of my price rang. I'll stay with my bone collector rifle scope on my crossbow.

[@dxtclue6427]

$700.00 a pound

[@PandY7190]

For that kind of money it should come with a butcher

[@graytslayer3782]

1st

[@hashtagjustadad5110]

$1400????? Uuhhhhmmmmm.....NO HELL NO!!!!

[@qaching]

ITS THE BEST SCOPE IN THE WORLD WHAT DID YOU EXPECT? $50?

[@nicholasgreathouse3088]

any marksman will tell you to spend twice as much on your scope than your rifle.

[@hashtagjustadad5110]

@ i e always heard that but i would rather have an extremely reliable weapon with a decent optic. My shots are usually 40 yards and in with my Ravin. All i need to know is the pre-determined distances of the surrounding trees and I’m good to go. But like people say, to each their own. If you can afford it and you want it then by all means get it. I’m all about people getting what they want and being happy for them. I just can’t see myself spending that much on an optic like this.

[@bobbybell36]

This is a knock off of the ATN 4k pro except it has worse rangefinding, no video recording, is more expensive, and looks to be worse quality. I dont see why anyone would buy this with a much better option available for cheaper.

[@Myfoodeatsyours]

Although it does not have a recording function for video but it does have laser locate to get you to the exact point of the animal when you shoot it so you can find your bolt or fist blood just in case you wanted to hunt until dark in hopes of getting another shot on another animal. A good friend of mine had the atn for a couple of weeks before it decided to quit working all together. He sent it in and the repaired it and it lasted for another week before it quit working again. Also the software was very buggy and even though they were putting out updates very frequently to address the problem of a certain bug it would arise a new bug. He had it repaired again and sold it then bought this and it's been through alot of outings and has yet to replace the batteries unlike the atn needing to be charged frequently......... So I guess it is like the old saying goes. To each his own
