The Garmin Xero® A1 Bow Sight in the Auto-ranging Digital Sight configuration brings digital ranging and aiming into a single bow-mounted system. Designed for archers who want fast distance readings and a clean sight picture, it measures angle-compensated distance to the target and then provides an LED pin to match the shot.
Built for real-world conditions, it uses a sunlight-visible, transflective memory-in-pixel (MIP) display and automatic pin brightness control. With an IPX7 water rating and up to 1 year of battery life from 2 lithium AAA (not included), it’s set up for extended time in the field and consistent practice sessions.
The integrated laser range finder delivers instant angle-compensated distance, whether the archer is at rest or at full draw. It ranges to game up to 100 yards away and to reflective targets up to 300 yards away, helping remove guesswork when it’s time to settle the pin and take the shot.
Instead of physical pins, the Xero® A1 uses a red LED pin for an unobstructed aiming point over the target. Pin brightness can be controlled by an ambient light sensor or adjusted manually, allowing the aiming point to remain easy to see in changing light from sunrise to sunset.
Designed for long seasons and frequent ranging, the sight offers up to 1 year of battery life, or about 25,000 ranges, using 2 lithium AAA batteries (not included). That extended runtime supports everything from routine target practice to hunting use without constant battery changes.
For cleaner form and more consistent arrow flight, the Xero® A1 includes built-in level indicators to help eliminate cant. When leveling is needed, the indicators appear as blinking pins on the sight, giving a simple visual cue while staying focused on the target and maintaining a steady, repeatable shot process.
A silent button trigger can be mounted where it best fits the archer’s grip, making it possible to activate the laser range finder with one finger. This setup provides distance and the exact aim point needed for the shot while keeping activation discreet and intuitive during both practice and hunting situations.
During practice shooting sessions, the sight can record performance so progress can be reviewed across various ranges and sessions over time. This makes it easier to see patterns in practice, compare results, and focus training where it matters most for improved consistency.
