The Xero A1i PRO is the top model in Garmin's Xero range of auto-ranging digital bow sights. A built-in laser rangefinder reads the distance to your target and lights the correct LED pin, so there is no yardage guessing at full draw. It suits bowhunters who want faster, more confident shots on game.
This is the left-handed version. It ranges game out to 90 m and reflective targets out to 275 m, shows dual-colour red and green pins, and runs for up to a year on two AAA lithium cells. The PRO adds micro-adjustable rails, a quick-detach mount, auto pin-stack calibration, a dynamic level and Xtra Distance mode. It is rated IPX7.

Key Features
- Auto-ranging laser – the sight measures angle-compensated distance and shows the matching pin, so you can concentrate on the shot rather than the range.
- Automatic pin stack – calibrate the 18 m pin, enter arrow speed, draw length and arrow diameter, and the sight builds pins out to your bow's estimated maximum distance.
- Micro-adjustable rails – fine-tune elevation, windage and laser reticle alignment quickly and precisely during setup.
- Quick-detach mount – take the sight off for travel and refit it to the same position in seconds.
- Dual-colour LED pins – alternate red and green fixed pins make preset distances easy to pick out, with brightness set automatically or by hand.
- Dynamic level and Flight Apex – levelling cues sit beside the pin, and a flashing pin shows the estimated peak of the arrow's flight.
- Multiple arrow profiles – save settings for practice and hunting arrows and switch between them in seconds.
- Silent trigger and Laser Locate – a quiet remote button ranges with minimal movement, and Laser Locate sends the shot location to a compatible Garmin GPS device (sold separately).
- Year-long battery – two AAA lithium cells give about 25,000 ranges, enough to run from target practice through a full season.
Best For
- Bowhunting deer in the high country – fast auto-ranging helps on uphill and downhill shots where angle compensation matters.
- Pig and goat hunting on foot – one sight covers close cover shots and longer open-ground opportunities without re-ranging by hand.
- Travelling bowhunters – the quick-detach mount lets you pack the sight safely and return it to zero at camp.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will it fit my bow?
It is the left-handed version and ships with its own mount, two screws, Allen keys and grip tape for fitting. A right-handed version is sold under part number 010-01781-50. Check your bow's sight mounting holes before ordering if you are unsure.
How does it compare with the Xero A1i?
Both range 90 m on game and 275 m on reflective targets with dual-colour pins and up to a year of battery life. The A1i PRO adds micro-adjustable rails, a quick-detach mount, auto calibration, a dynamic level, the Flight Apex pin and Xtra Distance mode. The PRO also includes the AAA batteries, which the A1i does not.
What batteries does it use and how long do they last?
Two AAA lithium batteries, supplied in the box. Garmin rates them for up to one year, roughly 25,000 ranges.
Does it work with my Garmin GPS?
Yes. Laser Locate pairs with compatible Garmin GPS devices (sold separately) and marks the location of the target when you range or shoot.
Does it shine light toward the animal?
No. Garmin states that no visible light is ever projected towards the target.
