Easy to follow step by step calibration guide. Get the full potential of your sight at all distances by knowing how to adapt specifically to your ballistics.
Thank you!!!! This was the video that convinced me to click the buy button. Looking forward to going through the setup and I will be watching this again as navigate through the menus. Thanks again!
Great video explaining process to setup and calibrate this sight. MUCH better than Garmin did! Question, When I’m trying to align the laser reticle it’s hard to see. The red laser reticle is not a clear red dot but a blurry blemish distorted area. I’m wondering if it’s the sight or might be my old eyes. ?
I've seen a lot of discussion about this sight being difficult to set up. Your tutorial makes the process easily understood and helps with this great product. Thanks.
I just bought the A1i Pro. The range finder was giving crazy ranges. Garmin wanted me to send it back. My Burris Oracle had no issues with the range finder. It was super accurate.
I think that I am ask really legitimate question, I have seen the garmen zero a1i or unless it's being referred to the zero a1pro,, I for one, I would like to have some contact information, and I have also a suggested price of $1300.00 ,,and I say why, if there's that many people out who don't really care about how much money they put into their tackle, this is ridiculous, that's just way to much money
Thank you Mr. Hansen for the excellent video! I'm embarrassed to admit that I didn't view your instruction first because the video was not in english. Only after I failed on my first attempt did I return for more help using your instruction. You helped me figure out what I was doing wrong with my bow and taught me a cultural lesson too. Thanks!
Does Anybody else have issues seeing the arrows pointing during reticle alignment? I got in a dark room, put my glasses on, tried to dim and brighten. I just had a tough time with that part.
Nate H The “standard” operating mode is one pin, which will match whatever distance you measure with the laser. The setup process will ensure that you can get solutions all the way out to the longest distance you calibrated. Fixed pins are optional.
I want to set pins out to 100 yards and need to know if you can set your 20 yard pin very high in the window of the sight? I guess that would be my primary pin right? That way I can set more pins out to farther distances and in my case hopefully out to 100 yards
Do you still use peep sight with this? And for yardages in between known ranged distances, does the pin show up for that exact distance? For example, ranges of 10 yard increments, if a target is at 47 yards does it know how to accurately display a pin at that distance? What's the difference in the two models? Can you change the pin colors?
Discount Garage Doors Inc Yes, I still use the peep sight. After ranging, you one pin, which is exactly for that distance. The more expensive model can change color of pins, store multiple arrow profiles and a few other tricks.
I didn’t set my max distance far enough , and I need to reset my fixed pin distances as well, how to I get that menu to come back? Or do I have to reset the whole sight?
Curt Cowan Yiu don´t have to reset. Just go Manual Adjustment -> Move Calibrated Range Stack. Then use the the straight rails to zero in again. See www8.garmin.com/manuals/webhelp/xerobowsight/EN-US/GUID-FBFD4E18-CEB8-43D9-B579-2ABF1DDA468B.html for details. Now you have room for longer distances, add more with Calibrated Ranges -> Add Range
When setting the primary pin the display says: "set pin using vertical and horizontal rails". Underneath of which it has the options of "Done" and "Move Pin." What is the purpose of the option to "move pin?" According to the manual if I move this pin it will reset all arrow profiles. Just starting out, how do I know where I want it to be? Do I want it high, middle or low in the site?
Shane Lester If you are planning on long shots or have slow/heavy arrow, you might consider a higher first pin to allow for more drop. The con is that your target might be obscured by the top of the sight.
So now that sight will give you a pin for any distance between 15 and 55 meters, for example if I range something at 33 meters it will display a pin for that distance?
Hi Tony, Yes, you are exactly right. It will display a pin for any distance you measure, of course unless the target is so far away, that it’s not possible to show the pin in the display.
I found this video more helpful than the the Garmin tutorial videos. For the amount of money we are paying for this site, Garmin should send someone to set it up for us. Well at least have better tutorial videos... Just my opinion.
Hi Brandon, I only see a few arrows. The image I added to the film is to give an an understanding of the arrows and the circle. Sorry I was not clear on that. You should just see one or two arrows, which will help you slide the sight in the correct direction. Once adjusted, you only see the green circle and the red dot.
This is the best tutorial for using this sight. Thank you for taking the time to walk through it step by step.
This is probably the best tutorial for setting up and calibrating the Garmin A1i on UA-cam!!! Great job with the video!!!
Takk for din video, den var til god hjelp!

One of the best tutorials I have ever seen, absolutely love it keep up the brilliance.
Cheers
Look like nice product pricey but you get what you pay for ..looks tricky n time consuming to set up
Thank you very much. Great vid on calibrating the X1i. Appreciated.
just set up my Garmin, your clip was very helpful..THX

jeepsrule68 Hi,
I’m glad it helped you, good luck with the sight.
Best regards,

nice video,thanks alot ! what if you choose notfixed pins?
Does Anybody else have issues seeing the arrows pointing during reticle alignment? I got in a dark room, put my glasses on, tried to dim and brighten. I just had a tough time with that part.
Better than what Garmin has for set up video
Kyran Iwaskow Thanks!
So If you do not set fix pins and want one pin. Do you just keep calibrating the distance? Will it keep adjusting every range
Nate H The “standard” operating mode is one pin, which will match whatever distance you measure with the laser. The setup process will ensure that you can get solutions all the way out to the longest distance you calibrated. Fixed pins are optional.

Dwane Hudson Correct, you can set 20 high, thereby leaving more room for longer shots.
Amazing! I just need to sell my kidney to purchase one!
an HHA optimizer site is way better than this... at least the battery won't run out...
How does the HHA Optimizer Sight even come close to this sight? No batteries? It is a simple micro-adjustment pin-sight.
it comes close when you compare price... idk about you but archery shouldn't be about electronics .... at least imo
I bought this sight and looking for help setting it up. This video has been very beneficial. Thank you.
Perfecto vídeo,thanks.did you use these sight al might with full moon waiting for board?did you use light flor the pins..?
Hi,
I have not tried the sight in moonlight. It automatically adjusts the brightness to the ambient light, so I'm guessing it works fine.
Thanks !
$1,400 here in Australia . My triax cost $1,500 ill stick with my spotthogg hunter.
I'am traditional on 3D Pacours but, just like your description.
HI GREAT

Hi Ralph,
I'm glad you like it. When doing it right, it doesn't take that long. But swapping order of things will cause grey hair;-)
@@ClausBoHansen
I'd like to see more, it stlll hard for us older guys to figure out.
Thank you
Anything in particular you are struggling with?
How do you level the 3rd axis on the Xero?
TheJoesLocker First and third axes have both straight and curved rails for adjusting point of impact and laser respectively.
What does the display look like with the "fixed" pins?
Hi Roy.
I thought the easiest way would be to simply show it, see ua-cam.com/video/LjByjjh_7E4/v-deo.html
Very good vidéo ! question : if the batteries are empty should we re-calibrate the xero?
Hi jedyman,
Xero stores calibration even through battery shift, so no need for re-calibration.
@@ClausBoHansen
if one day I decide to mount it on another arc can we go back to the factory version and set it as the first time?
Yep, you can factory reset, this will bring it back to out-of-box state.
@@ClausBoHansen
thank you very much !!
did you have issue seeing the arrows and reticle at full draw
Hi Brandon,
I only see a few arrows. The image I added to the film is to give an an understanding of the arrows and the circle. Sorry I was not clear on that. You should just see one or two arrows, which will help you slide the sight in the correct direction. Once adjusted, you only see the green circle and the red dot.
