Garmin® introduces Xero™, a groundbreaking auto-ranging bow sight
#1
Dateline City:


OLATHE, Kan.





Range, sight, and shoot the exact virtual pin



OLATHE, Kan.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Garmin International Inc., a unit of Garmin Ltd. (NASDAQ: GRMN), today
introduced the Xero A1 and A1i, two groundbreaking auto-ranging digital
laser bow sights that automatically measure the distance to a target and
provide a precise, virtual lighted pin for the shot. The
first-of-their-kind Xero bow sights are being announced in conjunction
with the 2018 Archery Trade Association (ATA) Trade Show in
Indianapolis, and can be seen at the Garmin booth (#4035).


A silent, single-button trigger mounted on the bow’s grip lets the
archer range targets at rest or at full draw, virtually eliminating
distance estimation and hunter movement – two of the biggest challenges
in archery hunting. The laser range finder instantly provides the
precise angle-compensated distance – up to 100 yards on game or 300
yards on reflective targets. The Xero then projects a precise, virtual
LED pin that is only visible to the archer, and without the clutter of
multiple physical pins. An ambient light sensor ensures the pin
brightness is optimized for various shooting conditions.


“The Xero bow sight is truly a game-changer in the archery world. It
helps take the guesswork out of ranging a target,” said Dan Bartel, vice
president of worldwide sales. “When that buck of a lifetime walks by,
knowing your precise yardage and having the exact pin to shoot is often
the difference between making that shot or going home empty-handed.”


Archers can customize the Xero for single or multiple pin
configurations, or they can manually select a pin of a pre-determined
distance. A sunlight-readable display helps the user configure and
customize the sight and provides information like target distance and
angle. It also provides a shot odometer, so archers can keep tabs on how
many times they’ve shot in one practice session or over the lifetime of
the bow.


The Xero A1i includes many additional features. Laser Locate estimates
the arrow’s point of impact and transfers that location to a compatible
Garmin device1 so hunters know where to begin their recovery
of game. The A1i also enables the archer to configure multiple arrow
profiles, to easily transition between a target or hunting setup without
readjusting the sight. Archers can also analyze and improve their
performance with shot dynamics – information like arrow speed, roll of
the bow, and bow impulse duration. Additionally, the A1i features user
selectable red (default) and green LED pins.


The Xero operates up to a year on two AAA lithium batteries and comes in
both right and left-handed configurations. Ruggedized and water rated to
IPX72, the Xero can withstand the rigors of bowhunting. The
Xero A1 has a minimum retail price of $799.99, and the A1i has a minimum
retail price of $999.99. Both models are available in the first quarter
of 2018. For more information, visit garmin.com/xero.


Some jurisdictions regulate or prohibit the use of electronic bow sights
for hunting. Always know and obey all hunting regulations before using
this device.


The Xero is the latest solution from Garmin’s expanding outdoor segment,
which focuses on developing technologies and innovations to enhance
users’ outdoor experiences and becoming essential tools for outdoor
enthusiasts of all levels. For more information about Garmin’s other
